The room was very clean upon arrival. The staff were all accommodating. The room is perfect for a solo traveler. Only thing I disapprove of was being unaware that you had to pay for eating from the minibar. I grabbed a water and was later charged at checkout. This should be included in room information. Otherwise, my stay at GHL Arsenal was great.

The Arsenal is a small hotel located across frim the convention center in the Getsamani neighbothood. The rooms are modern and very clean, housekeeping staff is excellent. Beds and bedding are upscale and the Tv is large. There is a convenient mini fridge. Breakfast was included and excellent. Rooftop pool has a great view but only has 8 loung chairs. Towels are provided at the pool. All staff is warm, kind, and helpful. Very convenient location. 15 min from airport . I would definately stay here next visit.

Everything has been spectacular, I am glad I chose this hotel for my stay. Initially I was going with Bastion Luxury Hotel, they didn’t have the room available of my choice. So, it forced me to look elsewhere. Happy I did!! The hotel service, the food, the complimentary, the room, and location. Everything was perfect. I am very thankful. I don’t think any of your customers will be dissatisfied. Thank you for making me feel welcome and at home. The experience is literally at home, very welcoming.

Good hotel but rooms are very small. No working vents in the bathroom when you take care of business the smell lingers for a while in the whole room.
