Good Location, Okayish Service
Not so great service at breakfast. Great location. Facilities in the room seem a little outdated. We booked a city view but got a view of a building.

Not 5 star, but perfectly okay
The people/service was excellent.
For a 5 star hotel it was lacking - it wasn’t clean enough throughout the room (although the bathroom was fine). Had it been 3/4 star we would have rated it higher.

My room did have a balcony, but the doors had to be kept closed to keep the heat out and also because of mosquitos. The hotel has a beautifully tiled foyer - it must have been renovated since the image in the listing was taken. The public spaces were nice, but my room was a bit 'institutional' with very few 'comforts' and terrible lighting.
