Mixed feelings about this stay
musty room tasteless food
The room I had was a bit tired. It smelled musty. The furniture looked quite worn too. Breakfast was underwhelming and the food lacked taste.

fantastic stay!
rooftop pool helpful staff
the rooftop pool was awesome! i spent hours up there. the front desk staff were super friendly and helpful too. i arrived early but they stored my luggage. that allowed me to explore the nearby area right away. the breakfast buffet each morning had a good selection.
the walls seemed a bit thin and i could sometimes hear noises from the adjacent room. it wasn't a major issue but noticeable at times. perhaps better soundproofing could help.

rooftop pool good breakfast bathroom layout missing hook
breakfast offered a good variety. i liked the rooftop pool and bar. it gave great views.
the bathroom layout was not ideal. getting between the sink and toilet was difficult. i found i had to shuffle sideways. there was no hook to hold the detachable hand shower.

small room unpleasant smell
Honestly, i was disappointed. my "standard room" was quite small. it had old furniture, which gave the room an unpleasant smell. the bathroom was also quite cramped, and the shower barely had any space. It was frustrating.

excellent city stay
rooftop view good stay
The rooftop view from the pool was very nice (especially at sunset). i found the reception staff amazing and they were really nice too ensure i had a good stay. i needed more furniture to put our suitcases on. Only had two small ones, but i didn't want to unpack the luggage. it would be good to have two chairs in the room just to sit on when not sleeping.
