Great staff, tired and dated room.

Needs some TLC. Room was dated and bathroom needed attention due to mould. Pigeon nest in void over balcony annoying. One small net would deal with it.

Overall the stuff we’re friendly except at the date of checkout one lady called me from the reception around 11:30 am and she asked me what time are you checking out sir? I told her 1230 and she told me rudely that after 1230 the system will start charging you per hour it was sound like a threat which I didn’t like

Amazing hotel

Amazing experience and exceptional staff who tended to my every need. Particularly Sivaraj who worked at the front/lobby who helped me organise my forwarding journey. Also experience the bliss package message in which Nina gave an amazing service to relax and recharge my body. Will definitely recommend and will visit again Thank you once again

Very nice property and would certainly stay there again. A couple of notes. The carpeting in our room was getting old - number of small stains - nothing critical but for the standard the hotel portrays, it should be better. The morning rooster - every morning! Both the breakfast and dinner buffet were extensive, however the food quality was a bit below what one would expect from a higher end hotel. Food was good, but needed that extra oomph to bring it to a higher level.
