This was a great hotel! I must admit we were limited with our choices of hotel since we needed three separate twin beds and this was one of the options. Well this hotel was great. The staff was extremley friendly - the rooftop bartender remembered my order the next day! The AC worked great as it was beyond HOT when we were there. Great location on main road but not loud. The rooftop pool/bar where a great way to end the hot days!

The hotel is close to some of the best neighborhoods especially if you don’t mind being in an urban area. Rooms were nice. The only disappointment was the gym but everything else was excellent.

8/10 Very good

Convenient and modern hotel, well equipped room, altho the aircon is pointed directly at the bed so not great if sensitive to draughts. There is small but nice rooftop with bar (good food) and dipping pool, and nice staff. A tip: They should remove 1 treadmill from the gym to give more floor space.
