Poor location. Many closed down shops behind the hotel. No hot water for shower and no instruction for use of coffee machine. 3 pm checkout will be charged 50% of room rate even though hotel was empty on Sunday. Only the concierge/Bell service Team was friendly. Room service menu sucks. Will not stay here again.

Great location not far from the airport as well as conveniently close to ammenities in the city, Hotel and room was well equipped with comfortable bed, spacious room and shower, pool is very well kept and presented with nice loungers and good drink/food service ( not cheap though but worth as a treat) Service was impeccable from check in , breakfast was well organised with great variety of food and beverage , i had a late check with a late flight in the evening they kindly allowed me to use the pool for the day so i could relax, chill and have a shower prior making my way to the airport. Excellent customer service!!
