Kathryn

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
I wouldn’t recommend this hotel for solo female travellers. On check out, the hotel demanded additional payment, and the men behind the front desk displayed aggressive behaviour. It was dark and very early morning with no one around. They called in extra men and wouldn’t let me leave until I paid them around $400USD. I had already paid the hotel for my stay. It was a scary experience.

OK but not ideal for a good night's sleep
Whilst architecturally some nice touches, hotel did not send transfer for airport pick-up. When called, they said had no record. Not the case though. Most frustrating. Service was slow, albeit staff most friendly. Biggest issue was noise. The rooms are not well soundproofed at all. Very lo Iittle sleep.
