    The hotel was a luxurious experience with excellent staff who knew our needs before we did. The spacious and comfortable rooms with amazing bathrooms and showers were a treat. The breakfast was top-notch and the fast wifi was a bonus. The hotel also had a spa, swimming pool, and a shopping center with the best shops and restaurants, making it an ideal choice for families.

    Felt pampered and well taken care of, with nothing too much trouble.

    From the moment I entered this hotel, I was treated like royalty. The staff was very friendly and accommodating, and I was impressed by the luxurious amenities provided. The Spa & wellness centre had a variety of services to choose from, including a relaxing facial and massage. The outdoor swimming pool was clean, and the sun loungers were comfortable. The garden area was well maintained, providing a peaceful retreat from the busy city. The restaurant and bar offered delicious meals and refreshing drinks, and I enjoyed the special diet menus provided. The room was spacious and had exclusive advantages, including a private balcony with a beautiful view and in-room breakfast service.

    There were other amenities available that made up for it, such as the sauna and steam room.

    The hotel is in a great location, close to all the main shopping malls and conveniently situated close to the main sights. It is also close to the second bridge, making it easy to access other parts of the city. The room was beautifully decorated and had a comfortable bed with a pillow menu. The bathroom was fantastic, with double sinks and a large bath with a mirror TV. The staff were friendly and provided excellent service. The breakfast buffet had a wide selection of delicious food.

    During my recent stay at this magnificent hotel, I was immersed in luxury from the moment I walked through the doors. The new and well-appointed rooms were absolutely stunning, providing the perfect oasis in the bustling city. The staff, like something out of a fairytale, anticipated my needs before I even voiced them. Their incredible service truly made me feel like royalty.

    Although there were a couple of minor hiccups, such as the difficulty of reaching the hotel from the airport during rush hour, and occasional challenges getting in touch with staff, these were overshadowed by the overall excellence of my stay.

    This hotel provided a luxury experience with exclusive amenities like the Spa & Wellness Centre and the indoor heated swimming pool. The service was impeccable, with attentive and professional staff fulfilling all our needs. The restaurant served delicious dishes and a great selection of special diet menus.

    The location was a bit far from some tourist attractions. We experienced a minor issue with the room's air conditioning, but the staff quickly resolved it.
