Good Experience
refreshing drink efficient check-in
I received a refreshing drink with a welcome. Check-in was done efficient. The room was spacious and of a high standard. The balcony had an amazing view. Fresh food was available at dinner and breakfast. Dining room and outside garden were so lovely.
The room needed better cleaning. There were small animals under carpets. The hotel could care more about room cleanliness.

limited breakfast weak coffee
The staff was friendly and helpful , providing good service .
I found the breakfast options quite limited , and the quality was not what I expected for a hotel of this rating. The fruit selection was sparse , and the hot dishes seemed like they had been sitting out for a while. Also , the coffee tasted weak and watered down.
