PARKROYAL on Kitchener Road

First published on 10 Mar 2008. Updated on 12 Jul 2011.

Located next to the Mustafa Centre and its 24-hour bustle, this chain hotel is a popular choice with Indian tourists. The ambience is, well, chain-like, but the 534 rooms have been refurbished and there are practical advantages (a self-service laundry, for instance, for long-term stays). The lap pool is large and enticing, and the Spice Brasserie serves local and international cuisine until 1am.
