    We stayed at this hotel and had a great experience. The location was convenient, as it was situated at the start of the CBD, making it easy to travel from the airport. The hotel itself was very clean, and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The room amenities were top-notch, including tea and coffee facilities, a comfortable sitting area, and an in-room safe. We also appreciated the free toiletries and the convenience of having an electric kettle in the room. The television was a nice touch, and we enjoyed having a flat-screen TV to relax and unwind after a long day. The dining experience was excellent, with a great restaurant and a bar/lounge area where we could relax and enjoy a drink. Breakfast was also delicious and offered a variety of options. we were impressed with the service, room amenities, dining options, and the staff's attention to detail.

    We highly recommend this place to all travelers.

    During my recent stay in the city for New Year's, I found the hotel's proximity to the central business district and entertainment spots very advantageous. the staff was incredibly friendly, and the rooms were extremely clean, making for a great first impression. the Wi-Fi was reliable and fast, which was perfect for streaming my favorite movies.

    The noise pollution from the nearby markets and clubs kept me up at night. I also wish that the hotel had air conditioning, as I found the rooms quite hot and stuffy.

    The hotel's location was very convenient as it was close to the airport and away from the busy city center. the rooms were well kept, clean, and comfortable, and the bathroom was fully functional. the staff was helpful and accommodating, and the bar had friendly bartenders and a pleasant evening crowd.

    There were occasional loud noises from music playing at night, and some guests had trouble with mosquitoes as there was no net in the room.

    We liked that the hotel was close to the airport and also had a full-service bar with friendly staff. The rooms were clean and comfortable, offering a great place to rest after a long journey. , the hotel provided free WIFI which was a good bonus.

    The service at the restaurant was quite slow, and the staff seemed uninterested at times. It was quite frustrating as our meals took a very long time to arrive at our table.

    I had a lovely stay at the hotel. The bed was super comfy, and the room felt cozy. Staff were cute and helpful, especially the receptionist who checked me in at night. The restaurant served delicious meals, and the chef went out of his way to interact with the diners. Lastly, the location was perfect - away from the jammed city center but close enough to the airport for convenience.

    Nothing all good.
