great location comfortable bed early last orders pigeons
My stay lasted several nights and I found the location fantastic. It was near many shops and restaurants. The staff were friendly. The room was comfortable (I especially liked the bed!).
The air conditioning was not cold enough. I found that the rooftop pool often had pigeons, which I didn't like. They stopped serving drinks quite early. I don't think this is a 5-star hotel.

The location was superb, really central to everything. The airport bus stop was only ten minutes away. the room had modern finishes and design, i liked that. There was a king size bed, not two twins. the rooftop infinity pool provided a great spot for a morning coffee. the staff were helpful.
