I had a great stay at this hotel! The rooms were spacious, clean, and right next to the pool, which was a lovely touch. Everything was beautiful, and they even fixed the bath and air conditioning promptly as promised. The service was exceptional, with the staff accommodating all our requests with a smile. The location was convenient for reaching different districts, although a little challenging for taxis to find at times. The dining options were above average, offering a variety of Asian and Western foods, though a bit limited for vegetarians. The facilities were top-notch, making my stay even more enjoyable.

I absolutely loved the hotel! The view from my room overlooked the vibrant flower market and busy street below, offering hours of entertainment. The room was good overall, although the bathroom felt a bit basic compared to the rest of the luxurious hotel. The location was not the nicest, but it was convenient to reach other districts with a short taxi ride.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, although starting to show some wear, were spacious and ideal for a family trip. However, I had to bring my own HDMI cable to connect to the TV for Netflix. The view overlooking the flower market and bustling traffic below was captivating, providing endless entertainment. The service was a bit lacking in English communication skills but the staff made sure I was well taken care of, especially during my check-in and check-out. The location was not as appealing as expected, being a couple of miles away from the center with little of interest nearby. The dining options were decent, with a good selection of Asian and Western foods at breakfast, but could use more variety to match the room rates. Overall, the facilities were satisfactory, offering the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay.
