lovely viewdelicious drinkconvenient locationcommunication issuerushed atmosphereslow replenishment
The rooftop bar was AMAZING!!! It had lovely views and delicious drinks. I tried the daily lunch menu. It was divine. The location was SOOOO convenient. It was a short walk to the beach and the bus station.
The receptionist had some trouble understanding English. Communication was a little challenging. Breakfast ran out quickly. Dishes were not replenished promptly. I also thought the waiters hurried to clear plates. It was not relaxing at all.

The room was clean, so that was acceptable.
The bathroom situation was not ideal. There was a glass door separating the bathroom and bedroom with a noticeable gap. Privacy was minimal. the shower lacked a proper screen, the bathroom floor was always wet after a shower.

the rooftop terrace impressed me with beautiful cocktails. my room had an attached balcony, and it was great. i liked the comfortable bed after my long days of travel. the staff always greeted me, so i felt very welcome.
the traffic noise was constant even on the 6th floor. horns beeping and people shouting disrupted any quiet moments i hoped to have. it was tough to sleep well with all the noise.
