I appreciated the clean as new condition everywhere. It was super clean. The breakfast was delicious and offered a good sunny space. The rooftop facilities were EXCELLENT, including the pool and bar. There was plenty of lounging space in both sun and shade, available if you booked a junior suite or above. The staff were helpful and kind, especially the concierge team.
The location was not as central as I expected, though buses were readily available.

The setting is park-like because it is a well kept park! I noted the African Blue Tit, the chiffchaff, Blackcap, Wagtail, Hoopoe, both parakeets, and all the other usual suspects in my walks. It is good for birders.
