It is a great place to stay and gives you much luxury and comfort at a great price. The service is great and the management was very prompt and was very helpful and assisted us with everything. The rooms were big and spacious, well maintained and the views from the window of the city skyline was just stunning. Loved my experience here!

This is a beautiful city which is known for its historic locations with so many stories associated with it. There are plenty of locations and lots to see here. It is a place where you will never be bored. Take a guided tour and make sure you visit all the places and trust me it will be worth it.. This is an amazing street with lots of ancient buildings and so many shops from where you can purchase so many things. The street is the most happening point of the city and has a lot to see and do. A lot of great cafes and restaurants are also there which are the best places to try out some tasty food and indulge in nice drinking. It was a great experience.
