Pros: Good rooftop area with a decent pool, each room has an individual WiFi channel, friendly staff, great location Cons: while washing service claims to complete job on the same day if dropped in before 10am, they hadn't even started by the following day, bed sheets weren't changed every day, no indication that bottled water next to the tea and coffee has a fee attached until checkout, drink and food prices are higher than average. Overall, good.

Nice hotel

Lovely rooms. Unfortunately a few things were wrong with our room. The safe wouldn't unlock and there was no hot water but eventually someone came and sorted it. On the whole our room was lovely and comfortable . Breakfast was great.
