The superior double room felt new. The tennis court was easily accessible from my room's terrace. It was lovely.

The buffet start time could be slightly earlier.

spacious roomremote locationdesolate surrounding

The room was spacious. It came with nice amenities and a comfortable bed. I guess that part was fine.

The location is dismal. I'd say don't stay here unless you have a vehicle. Waiting 25 to 30 minutes for a taxi is considered lucky. There are no appealing bars or stores within walking distance. The surrounding area is pretty much deserted. I suppose some people like desolation.

nice selectionlarge roomhelpful staffelectricity issue

The restaurant offered a nice food selection. the rooms were very large and comfortable. the staff were really good too help me with coffee making facilities in my room. That was a great service.

The electricity kept going off every night. I reported it every night, but there was an issue on my floor. this was very dangerous in my opinion. i slept very poorly because of that and it was annoying.

the staff were helpful, a plus.

The location was not great. I think you need a car to stay here. waiting for taxis took ages, sometimes 30 minutes. also, the hotel felt a bit strange, almost like a hospital, and lacked atmosphere.
