Honest review
What could be better
- —The air conditioning system needs immediate repair to allow rooms to cool below 24°C, particularly since a cool room is essential for comfort and its current state is "miserable" for guests.
- —The quality, variety, and presentation of the breakfast items need improvement, specifically by ensuring freshness (e.g., soft bread, fresh fruit) and better general cleanliness.
- —The hotel must better justify its 5-star price tag by improving key physical aspects like AC in bathrooms and room design, and by addressing minor service lapses like failing to offer complimentary water with coffee.
