Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is nestled in beautiful gardens, offering a serene atmosphere for a relaxing stay. However, the service needs improvement to ensure a more customer-focused experience. The location is fantastic, providing easy access to all the local attractions. The dining experience was satisfactory, especially for meat lovers, but there were some hiccups with the service.
The hotel has a beautiful location surrounded by gorgeous gardens and is close to all the main attractions. The rooms are comfortable, but the service could be improved. The dining experience is served with tasty fish dishes, and the facilities are well-maintained.
The hotel is centrally located, in beautiful gardens, and close to all local attractions. The rooms were not properly cleaned, with bins not emptied and items not replenished. It was also challenging to open the bedroom window even when the heating was switched off.
The hotel is set in beautiful gardens, offering a tranquil atmosphere, although some areas appeared slightly worn. The service varied from quick and attentive by the duty manager to unprofessional and self-centered behaviors from some staff members. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with hot wok dishes being a highlight but some inconsistencies in service. The location is convenient for local attractions but may pose challenges with taxi availability. Overall, a mixed experience with both positive and negative aspects.
