The rooms were clean and big. Not a bad experience overall, I guess.
The electricity cut out multiple times during the night. it was difficult to sleep comfortably. WHO wants that? the wall hanging had dust, and the ledges were dusty. the room maintenance was clearly LACKING.

I am thrilled the staff was so helpful! The hotel is a real beauty too. The swimming pool inside my room was the total highlight, I mean WOW! My daughter had a great time and we will always remember this, what a memory!
My room was large but it needs a little TLC. The towels needs changing for sure. I really wanted someone to make sure people didnt bath fully clothed, it is not so hygienic!

the architecture and design captivated me with an antique fort door in the reception. i enjoyed the tranquil gardens and the large peaceful room, including its own courtyard bathroom. i found the swimming pool fantastic.
i noticed several repairs to furnishings and fixtures that looked dated. the french doors led to a large terrace, but it lacked landscaping and furnishings, rendering it unusable. a used food tray remained outside my door for two days.
