Booked a single room which was bigger than I expected, comfortable bed, complimentary mineral water replenished daily, water kettle with complimentary coffee and tea, and air conditioning was functional; the safe didn’t work but fortunately I didn’t urgently need it, and no hairdryer was provided; breakfast was ok, reception staff said I could get a business invoice upon check-out but for some reason they couldn’t give it to me and just said they will email it to me. Location was fine considering my conference was at the university close to the hotel, but unfortunately it was far from downtown.

Very polite and helpful staff. One of the strongest aspects. Spacious building, not fair from airport and in heart of Academic City. Food hygiene is a concern in this heat. Great gym - which is why I booked and pool is nice too. Not really anything to do locally. Can have noisy neighbours with thin-ish walls and some repairs/final finishing touches to building.

We had to stay at best western in academic city for business. The area is literally in the desert there's nothing around you. I got an upgrade to the deluxe room which is spatious comparing to the standard & executive one. But the main problem in this hotel is the bathroom and apparently All the rooms have the same problem. When you shower the whole bathroom will be flooded. We had to stay for a week so this was not practical at all we asked the staff to give us a whipper as a solution but still it is a main inconvenient process. I would really thank the staff at the reception all of them day and night shift they were very cooperative for the bathroom issue and very friendly

Disliked: Staff & service
I checked in at the hotel @ 23:00 and the room they gave me was poorly cleaned with human hair on the floor, the bathroom shower drainage was blocked and this was bad. I complained and the room was changed, to which it did not take long for change of room which was good. But honestly responding to guest request was really bad. I requested for iron for my room and it took 1 hour before I received it. On the 2nd day I requested for drinking water and they never sent it to me. Drinking water is a basic need and I find it very disheartening not send a guest water for drinking. I have never experienced this with any other hotel I stayed in.
