Good location, bit pricey for what it is
I had a room on the basement floor which was actually fine and even had a window that opened out onto the courtyard. Room was a decent size (i was travelling alone) but a few things were a little off. Room wasn't immaculately clean, only instant coffee in the room and paper cups (!) and bedding was a bit worn. Great location though.

I had high hopes from this place, considering its a 5 star rated property. The good, the location was great and around all the hustle and bustle of city, room was decent size however i had no A/C working for both of those nights i stayed in. I talked to front desk and was told an electrician is being sent however the AC still didn’t work. Needless to say, what expected to be a relaxing experience, specially after 24 hours of traveling, coupled with jet lag, turned out to be rather stressful and tiring.

The hotel is nice but the English spoken is very limited even at reception. The concierge however are great. The breakfast was not worth the money and not good at all. Coffee was terrible selection is very limited, no service. Room service was ok but very expensive for basic food. Housekeeping was not good they didn’t clean properly at all, left old food and room service from the night before in the room. Our room was in the 2nd floor no wheelchair access. Paper cups instead of normal crockery for coffee, no milk only powered. No iron in rooms, not nearly enough cupboards nor drawers we lived out of our suitcases.

They didn’t clean the room the second day even after asking them 4 times. The next day I had to be begging them to go clean until they did.
