The hotel provides a mix of experiences. The rooms are beautifully decorated with an oriental taste but occasional insects may be a downside. The service is top-notch, very professional and helpful, though some may find the location slightly far from certain attractions. The dining experience is fantastic, especially from the rooftop restaurant, and the facilities are great.
