Staff were friendly, rooms quite small but clean, comfortable and had all the things you would need including a minibar and a reasonable selection of TV channels mostly in Indian language. Aircon was good and kept... More

“Pretty OK in most respects”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed March 10, 2013 via mobile

There's nothing really wrong wiith the Mercure (as it was called until the day we left!), but neither is it particularly special - I guess you get what you pay for. The double room we had was pretty small, but fairly well-appointed and modern. Breakfast (included) was OK. Service, to be honest, was a bit indifferent! But, again, staying here... More
