lovely staffsmall room
the staff was mostly lovely, that's something i guess.
I found that while there is a strong emphasis on style, the basic amenities left much to be desired. The room was quite small. the bathroom amenities were also lacking, only a single soap was provided for all needs, there was no toothpaste or toothbrush available. Imagine that, having to go downstairs to buy a toothbrush.

The breakfast was excellent. I looked forward to it each morning. the gym was clean and well-equipped too. i also appreciated the location being close to both bus and underground stops, it made getting around easy.
The air conditioning in my room seemed slightly underpowered. It struggled a bit on warmer days.
