    distracting noise

    Convenient location and warm staff

    Woke up to a cheerful breakfast atmosphere filled with local and intercontinental options. The staff’s warm welcome truly made me feel at home, and I loved the high-quality air conditioning.

    However, the nearby nightclub noise was distracting, which made for some restless nights. The check-in process could also be improved for better guest privacy.

    poor soundproofing
    slow check-in

    strategic location, soundproof windows, reliable Wi-Fi

    The check-in process could use some serious streamlining!!! I encountered noise disturbances from nearby nightlife that definitely interrupted my sleep, and the lack of a mini bar in the room was disappointing!!!

    juicy burgers
    friendly reception team
    locked room
    system issue

    If you haven't had the chance to sink your teeth into their juicy burgers, you're missing out! The breakfast had a fantastic variety, with fresh fruit that hit the spot. Plus, the incredibly friendly reception team, including Elva, Nicholas, and Medico, really knows how to make guests feel at home.

    Had a hiccup when I got locked out of my room for two hours due to a glitchy door. Even when I checked out, the system was down and I couldn't get my receipt.

    friendly atmosphere
    delicious breakfast
    comfortable room
    noisy nightlife

    The Imperial Hotel Express provided an exceptional experience during my stay. The welcoming atmosphere created by the staff, including Judith at the reception, stood out right away. I loved the breakfast variety, especially the fresh fruit and delicious egg curry. The room was clean and comfortable, complete with air conditioning and reliable Wi-Fi. I appreciated the central location, making it easy to access shops and restaurants within a short walk. However, noise from the nearby nightclub could be disruptive during the night, affecting my sleep. Additionally, check-in took longer than expected, which could benefit from some improvement. Overall, the positives greatly outweighed the negatives.

    great breakfast options
    limited dining options

    We loved our stay at this hotel! It was the perfect base for our large family with four teenagers. The breakfast options were delightful, and the staff's local recommendations for places to visit made our family adventures even more interesting.

    My wife says that it would be great if dining options were more flexible for families.

    door glitch
    nightlife noise

    The staff's warmth and attentiveness truly stood out, notably Elva and Raymond, who made our group feel right at home. Breakfast options were impressive, with varied selections each day, highlighting the chef's talents. Unfortunately, the check-in process was somewhat slow, and a glitch in the door left us locked out for a frustrating period. While the hotel is conveniently located, the noise from the nearby nightlife can be disruptive at times.
