The hotel had some issues in the rooms like missing soap and only one bedside lamp, along with dangerous unsecured electricity cables. However, the location was decent with easy access to shops, though it was too close to the staff quarters. The service was exceptional with the staff going the extra mile to assist, and the dining experience was lovely despite some dishes not being great. Overall, the facilities were satisfactory.

Upon arrival, I found the hotel to be conveniently located with easy access to shops. The staff were very welcoming but unfortunately, their early morning activities woke me up multiple times. They handled everything professionally, but I wish the rooms were better equipped. Overall, it was decent with a tranquil ambiance.

The hotel had some serious issues that affected my entire stay. The room was not up to standard and posed safety risks with unsecured electricity cables and dirty water. The dinner I had was the worst I've ever experienced on a business trip. Service was slow and disorganized, and the location, although decent, had some drawbacks being close to staff quarters.
