“What stands out is its prime location in the city center, steps from the Clock Tower and with mountain views from higher floors; add to this the available Indian cuisine and you have a very solid base. Although some past guests mention variable Wi-Fi and potential amenity hiccups, the staff's consistent friendliness contributes positively.
