    I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The staff were exceptional, especially Zulu and the late shift guy who made my stay comfortable. The room was clean and the hotel facilities were good. The location is situated in a safe area and transportation was easily accessible. The breakfast was amazing and the staff ensured that it accommodated my situation.

    Cannot find any fault.

    Located in a secure area with lots of shops and restaurants nearby, the hotel offers a budget-friendly option for travelers. the staff are helpful and accommodating, and the rooms have useful amenities like a fridge, electric kettle, and microwave. Air conditioning and plenty of hot water make for a comfortable stay.

    The hotel doesn't meet safety standards during power outages. With no emergency lighting or power generators, guests are at risk in the case of a fire.

    The staff at Galaxy Tower went above and beyond to assist us with parking, making sure we had no problems. The buffet breakfast was absolutely lovely and a great way to start the day. The location of the hotel was convenient, with major sightseeing activities close by. We felt safe with the 24/7 security guards in the area. I highly recommend this hotel!

Secondly, the staff were incredibly attentive and went above and beyond to ensure a comfortable stay. They were friendly, helpful, and always available to assist with any requests or questions. Thirdly, the location was perfect. Situated in a safe area, I felt at ease exploring the city and visiting the nearby attractions. Lastly, the breakfast was absolutely delicious.

    The hotel offers great value for money with its affordable prices and attention to detail. The location is in a safe area, making it convenient for sightseeing activities in the city. The staff are friendly and always willing to assist, creating a welcoming atmosphere. Additionally, the breakfast buffet is a lovely treat to start the day.

    The only minor suggestion would be to ensure that the cleanliness of the rooms meets expectations.

    Great location close to shopping amenities and exciting surroundings. The building’s exterior and the hotel environment had a good atmosphere. A very quiet building despite its location.

    The hotel had poor safety measures and violated fire hazard and safety rules. During power outages, there were no emergency lights for stairs, therefore making it difficult to move around.
