The breakfast was okay. We were waiting a long time for service on the Friday evening. There were also a bit of confusion between staff during dinner and breakfast. The location is good.

“It was a great stay. I'm definitely visiting again soon.”
The place is nice and quiet. It is in a central location and close to 3 malls which is really convenient because they are less than 10mins away (walking distance). The place is well kept and secure.

“Will not recommend.”
Unfortunately we were allocated rooms on the side of the hotel that is located on the same road as the cities major taxi rank. The taxis did not stop hooting until around midnight and started up again from 5am the next morning. This was not only a discomfort but did not make us feel safe. To make matters worse the bar area overlooking the pool played music so loud it felt like it was located a mere meters away from our room. The music thankfully stopped around 10:30 pm but certainly made it feel like we were being bombarded from both sides for a few hours. The room allocation did not make sense as the hotel was not busy at all and surely two rooms on the quieter side of the hotel away from the taxi ranks must have been an option. The rooms itself was very comfortable, neat, clean and stylishly decorated. However, the hot water was set to a very mild lukewarm both the night before and the next morning and both double rooms booked only had a single towel allocation which makes it feel like its standard practice and not an error.
