10/10 Exceptional

I had a great experience at this facility. The staff were very, very pleasant, accomodating and professional. Catherine, Raphael, Alexander, Stella at the Exchange Bar were just dynamite! Head of security Justus was very helpful & accomodating when I made a mistake. I thank him for that. The food was fresh & excellent! It is the restaurants in the surrounding area you have to be careful with. Eating OUTSIDE the hotel is what got me sick. My stomach never had a problem or revulsion with the hotel food. I would just like to be clear about that

Very friendly staff. The towels weren’t the newest, but they were clean. There was some misunderstanding about my transport bill, but it was resolved amicably. The food was good and the restaurant staff accommodated my requests even after hours.
