Reviews
We didn't opt for breakfast, since this area is full of restaurants and shopping mall,
Especially for Indian there is no Indian food nearby, we have managed in subway,KFC and McD, you can also try Lentil soup and rice (pilav) in local restaurant,
Over all good experience
I received a suspicious message from a strange number on WhatsApp, who somehow wanted to create wrong statistics by promising to pay money, and with my resistance, they started disrespecting me. The following photos show this issue. Please do not pay attention to the points of this hotel, they are all created by fraud.
Thanks
