Although the hotel rooms are clean, but the other facilities are not maintained well. There wasn’t hot water in the rooms for several times, the Spa was crowded, the pool’s water was cold, the breakfast area was messy. I think the staff need to be trained to be more friendly.

Some of the reception staff could be more hospitable while other staff were helpful. Cleaning lady on floor 6 was probably the best ive experienced, amazing attention to detail. Lovely, cozy swimming pool area with very helpful staff. Great location, easy to get around, great stay.

Property was nice. Room was nice and clean. Staff was rude and i booked this Property only for the swimming pool. It was closed and no body give us update or notice. They didn't compensate. Terrible experience. I could have booked same kind of rrom somewhere else with half price that i paid them. Apart from that breakfast was good. Cleanliness was good

Pretty rundown and worn hotel. Shower etc. was moldy, bed covers had cigarette burns, windows in none of our 3 windows could shut tight, so the noise was really bothersome.
Highlights were the pretty helpful frontdesk staff who got us a good price for a transfer cab, and the rooftop terrace was perfect for drinks etc.
