    spacious room
    neglected pool area

    The ambiance was relaxing and the staff were

    very attentive. I enjoyed my stay in the Superior Room, which was spacious and well-appointed. However, the pool area could use a little more maintenance, as it felt a bit neglected during my visit.

    stunning views
    rooftop terrace
    awkward mini bar

    I absolutely adored the stunning views from my spacious Superior Room. The rooftop terrace was quite the gem for sunset gazing. And let’s not forget the conference facilities, very handy for work!

    But my poor knees are still recovering from that shower door fiasco! And what's with the mini bar needing a gym membership just to open?

    comfortable room
    heated swimming pool
    easy access

    Couldn't recommend more for a short interlude

    Comfortable room, clean room with a superb bed and easy access to a heated swimming pool, making it the ideal place to relax after a day of exploration just 7 km from the international airport.

    It was all perfect.

    great hospitality but room could use more amenities

    The welcome from Violet at reception was warm and genuine, easing our travel fatigue. The personalized touches, like the welcome note and delightful treats from Jimmy, added a special flair to our stay. The city view from our spacious room was quite wonderful, making my family feel relaxed during our time there.

    warm service
    great breakfast
    menu unavailability
    dietary neglect

    Service was genuinely warm and welcoming, especially from the attentive staff and amazing breakfast offerings. However, my dinner experience was disappointing due to menu unavailability and a lack of consideration for dietary needs. Overall, I felt the hotel's appeal was there, but some aspects need improvement.
