6/10 Good

This is not a five star hotel, 3.5 as maximum. Small rooms (had the svit) the ac was working then it wanted, to a temperature it desided for itself (not the tempeture I set). It was very loud between rooms and outside (was a gap off roughly 4cm between the door out and the floor). The breakfast was poorly made, it had some basic stuff, like bacon, fried rice??three kinds of fruits sausages but nothing special The hot tub was great and one guy at the reception was very helpful, the rest did not know English required at a five star hotel . Also there was renovation going on in the room beside ours, making loud noise in the morning and evening! The hotel might be worth it if you get a really good discount.
