friendliness of staff and helpfulness
shower pressur was very low
Location is good and staff are friendly
I was kept awake by loud taxi commuters shouting at one another in the street outside - it is a pity that something could not be done to address this. My bed was very uncomfortable and the shower had little pressure

Location is good
Breakfast not enough varieties Paraplegic bedroom got no choice of bed only separated single beds
Breakfast was good and the staff refill when food is finished. The room was good, the problem is the carpet, it was very dirty and I have asthma. The bed was very comfortable, and the linen was very clean.
The carpets need to be removed and replaced with tiles.
The friendly staff.

Breakfast was great as we ate everything we like so many times. It was enjoyable . Staff was friendly.
Having a big room for gathering if we want to do something together .
Breakfast and gym facilities
Bed was not so comfortable. The headboard makes it difficult to relax on the bed
The staff here is absolutely amazing, I always feel welcome and well taken care of by them, they are very professional and proactive.👏👏
everything went well , staff, breakfast , room, beds were good too , was able to sleep peaceful on the first day, which usually dont not happen in most hotels . Elderly Mom felt accomodate. thanks a lot.
i didnt like the fact that i had to pay for parking. Gym was also under renovations so we could not use it.
We were able to reach out to the shops so easily. The property was super clean and we were watching everything we want on TV
Room 227, we had a problem with WI-FI it even affected our network on the phones
Reasonable and value for money
Nothing
Proximity to everything
The staff were amazing! Very friendly, pro-active, followed up on requests. Didn't expect this level of service, honestly. This alone will prompt me to only stay here when visiting again 😊😊
Our stay was too short!

The bottle water so hard to open.

It was convenient for us to travel to the airport early the next morning. Was great that the breakfast was ready at 5.30am
The airport shuttle was extremely expensive - we ordered an Uber that was a quarter of the price. For one night I thought it was expensive
The property is well situated and clean
The Buffett can improve but not bad
Great location
Breakfast is really basic and poor quality and the room is very outdated and smelled of smoke
There is a modern feel to the setting, room service is quick to respond.
Parking has to be paid.
Very good value for money for a short stay.
Breakfast is really moderate not good for such a rate.
Lovely place. Accommodation close to the mall and that was perfect for us to stroll together as a family. Restaurant next to it was amazing. Loved my food.

The convenience of location
Rooms were small for 2 people on a several days stay
Nous y sommes restés une seule nuit. Personnel de réception très attentionné Possibilité d’être 4 dans la chambre Petit-déjeuner varié qui ouvre à 6h donc pratique avant départ pour safari. Possibilité de demander à emporter également. Centre commercial accessible à pieds. Nous n’avons pas tenté le front de mer, il pleuvait des cordes. Piscine non testée non plus pour la même raison.
Le lit des enfants est un simple canapé sans vrai matelas.
All perfect

The bed was comfortable and the breakfast was great. Love the fact that the hotel is near mall so I didn't have to spend on transport, which meant savings. Highly recommend it. Also got the chance to use the gym, phenomenal
Just have to do my booking early to avoid smoking room. But it was clean although the sent of cigarettes was still there

The balcony is tiny , did not expect it to be that small. It should be included in the images when selecting rooms so people can see the size of it, the room is also generally a bit cramped.
Lovely staff, very good location, great restaurant on site.
Location is good Great restaurant
Shower in the rooms difficult to operate

Nothing! I would stay again.
The room was very comfortable and clean. there was no noise when we were sleeping.
The scrambled eggs were really cold and the bacon was burnt.
Room was clean, good spread of breakfast, loved the shower and soap wash
The room needed an extra blanket for winter weather,
Location, safety.
The room had no lock up wardrobe. The place/ space to hang coats/ jackets was not available.
especially liked that I could take breakfast back to the room on the days that my wife did not come down for breakfast
answering the phone
It’s always perfect. Staff are friendly and it’s clean
I loved everything. I just wish they could add omelettes or eggs that are made to a person’s liking. But that is just a minor issue, either than that all is perfect.
Friendly staff. Cleanliness Breakfast perfect
Cant fault anything
Nice place and location not far from shopping malls..will come back again
It was fair…below my expectation.
