My stay at Garden Top Hotel had its ups and downs. While I appreciated the friendly staff and the nice location close to Eastgate, the overall experience was overshadowed by the condition of the rooms, which were dirty and had maintenance issues. I was also disappointed with the dining options, as the breakfast was quite underwhelming. 😕🌆

While the room was in good condition and had a helpful fridge, the service was lacking and the location felt a bit dodgy.

My stay at Garden Top Hotel was filled with challenges. The room was clean, though it took an hour and a half to be ready.
