spacious roomgreat breakfastamazing viewfirm bedmissing bathrobebare wall
the room was quite spacious i had a beautiful king room it included sufficient space. the breakfast had a great spread it was amazing to see so many options. the rooftop bar had one of the best views i have experienced it was a nice treat.
the bed was a bit too firm it did not offer the support i prefer. i did not see bathrobes or slippers provided that i had in a previous hotel. the decor on my floor was plain the walls were bare it felt unfinished.

mixed feelings about my stay
convenient accesspoor sound insulationempty minibar
the hotel's location was acceptable, offering convenient access to nearby attractions.
The room lacked basic amenities. There was no water bottle provided, and the minibar was empty. room 1050 is near the cleaning area. it was very noisy beginning at 6:00 a.m. due to the cleaning staff and their equipment, and the sound insulation was poor!!!
