Fabulous Service

We stayed a 5 star hotel prior- and can honestly say the service at Cititel far exceeded the 5 star hotel. Everyone was friendly and accommodating. Great location for food. Only negative is the pool is not enticing- it's too hot there with the enclosed windows.

Room was right beside elevator shaft. Can hear woofee sound, particularly evening time at bedtime. If not of this, I would give high score for my stay. I think people who stay for 3 nights deserves to know what room they are getting into.

Five star hotel at a three star price!

Wonderful hotel choice: five star service at a three star price. Loved the heartfelt greetings the hotel team would give us when we came back to the hotel after a day out. Pro tip: don't miss working with the amazing tailor on the ground floor - or the delicious Loh Bok from the Kheng Pin Cafe right next door in the morning!
