The staff is amazing. In a country where cell phones are stolen. I left my phone on Tango Dinner Show bus and the staff worked relentlessly to see I got it back. Through the shift changes. I’m incredibly grateful. I checked in when I arrived early. I highly recommend the hotel. Great continental breakfast. Walking distance to many interesting places.

Breakfast was just okay and the fact that the hotel served breakfast itself was amazing. Location of the hotel was great. The electrical charging points in the room was not that great as they could have some USB charging next to the bed.
