Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were beautifully furnished with great amenities, but unfortunately, I experienced a cold shower during my stay. The service was friendly and helpful although communication in English was a bit challenging. The location was convenient with easy access to shopping and dining options, yet there were unexpected elements for a 5-star hotel. The dining experience offered a nice variety of food but service could be slow at times.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the room on the 19th floor was cozy and clean, it got soaked with water during my shower, which was unexpected. The warm and relaxing ambiance of the room was truly enjoyable. The hotel is well maintained, but the water leakage was a significant inconvenience.
The hotel has a good location, close to a park and a shopping center, with plenty of activities nearby. The rooms are well-equipped with amenities but had issues with cold showers. The service was outstanding, with staff going above and beyond to assist. The dining options were varied, although some experiences were less than ideal. Overall, a convenient stay with a few minor drawbacks.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were cozy, clean, and well-equipped with everything I needed, but the language barrier with the staff was noticeable. The location was convenient, with nearby attractions, though not as expected for a 5-star hotel. The dining experience offered a variety of options but lacked efficiency in service.
The hotel is placed in a prime location, near the Wanda mall and with convenient access to the city center. The rooms, though a tad warm, are cozy, clean, and outfitted with very comfortable furniture. The service is top-notch, offering a true Shangri-La experience with professional, courteous, and friendly attendants who even cooked up delicious Italian dishes. The dining options are above average with a good variety, and the facilities are well-maintained. However, the unexpected appearance of a strange element in the location and the slightly high pricing may be points to consider.
