Guest Reviews & Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mix of delightful and not-so-great experiences. The rooms were gigantic and beautifully decorated, offering comfort, but lacked essential amenities like a cold fridge, ice bucket, and microwave. The location of the hotel was great, offering ease of access to the city. The dining experience was satisfactory with good meat options. Overall, a stay with ups and downs.
My stay at this hotel was enjoyable overall. The rooms were comfortable and clean, but there were some minor inconveniences with amenities missing. The service was exceptional despite a unique experience during check-in. The location was convenient, and I appreciated the special attention to detail during a traditional ritual. The dining options were limited but satisfactory, and the facilities were well-maintained.
