rooftop pool plenty of loungers wide breakfast choice dark lighting tiny bathroom hot water

The rooftop pool was amazing! I loved that there were plenty of loungers available. Breakfast included a wide choice of items and everything was beautifully presented. I really appreciated the air conditioning throughout the entire hotel it kept me so cool.

The lighting in my room was terribly dark! I found the placement of the lights to be odd. The bathroom was a bit tiny. There was also a lack of hot water in the bathroom one morning.

The location could not have been better. It was an easy walk from the train station and close to the main attractions. Sipping cocktails and enjoying free snacks while watching the sunset from the rooftop bar was very nice. The breakfast was AMAZING!!!

Closet space felt a bit limited.
