Staff, room, service, internet service, and location were all excellent. Everything was maintained in spotlessly clean condition. The service felt genuine and personal. The area felt very secure, with no overly intrusive security presence. I could not be happier with my selection of places to stay. I would have liked 24-hour room service, but it was a minor inconvenience, as good food and drinks from street vendors were always available and only a 4-minute walk from the hotel.

Great location walking distance to everything but a bit away from the noise and bustle of the old city centre. Having the roof top pool was great. We had a problem with our AC. They came promptly to fix when they couldn’t that moved us to a new room. Karen the customer service rep apologized many times and sent a beautiful fruit basket to our new room. Can say enough about the GHL highly recommend and we would stay again. 10/10

This is a basic hotel. Like a basic Best Western. The rooms are showing their age, with some rough walls, worn decor and fixtures. It’s clean, and it’s fine, the bed is comfortable, but it’s nothing special. The pool lining is discolored and dirty looking. The staff are very friendly and courteous, the included breakfast is a great perk. The bar service at the pool is very very slow. Overall, it was fine, but I wouldn’t stay again.
