The hotel rooms were extremely spacious and well-ventilated, beautiful with a well-equipped kitchen, but not as nice as shown on the website. The rooms were very big, although treacherous when wet.

7.6/10

My stay at the hotel was mixed. The rooms had a peculiar odor but offered a lovely balcony view over the sultans cemetery and the sea. However, they were not up to the category I had booked. The service was friendly with a nice rooftop restaurant, but there were some communication issues. The location was convenient for exploring the city but felt a bit uneasy at night. The dining experience was great with a variety of options. The facilities were adequate for a comfortable stay.
