Honest review
What could be better
- —The hotel needs to significantly improve its customer service and staff professionalism, as multiple guests cited rude, unhelpful staff and a general lack of hospitality know-how.
- —The pricing and value for money need to be re-evaluated, as many guests felt the high cost was a "rip off" and not justified by the amenities or service provided.
- —The hotel should enhance its amenities and food & beverage offerings, specifically by addressing the lack of a spa and improving the quality and value of drinks at the rooftop bar.

How we choose
Every hotel on this list is cross-checked across Google, Booking.com, Tripadvisor, Agoda and Hotels.com — plus first-hand traveler accounts on Reddit, Instagram, and TikTok. We screen aggressively for fake or incentivised reviews and weight only verified, recent, substantive guest feedback. We accept no paid placements and no sponsored reviews. When affiliate links earn a small commission, we disclose it; it never influences which hotels appear here.
