"Staff was amazing. Rodolfo was super helpful and pleasant when checking in, Anderson was attentive when taking our belongings to the room and welcomed us every time we walked into the building. The rooftop pool is very very cramped. The location is honestly mid. It is in the middle of everything, which is nice, but if you’re not going straight to your car you’re bombarded by solicitors every few feet and they do know what no means and they do not listen. It is unfortunate because there are so many nice buildings and restaurants and places to go near by, but can’t get far without people bugging. The location is also a little far from the tourist attractions and airport. About 15-20minute uber drive to old town and the walled city."

"El hotel es excelente, muy bien ubicado, el único detalle fue que el personal intentó vendernos una suscripción a un club de fidelidad y nos hizo perder una hora en ello, por último uno de los botones nos cuestionó por motivo de que, a decir de el, no hicimos el check out siendo que ya estábamos por tomar nuestro Uber al aeropuerto, las formas no fueron las correctas, esperarse al último minuto para preguntarnos, denota falta de profesionalismo, fuera de ahí, bastante recomendable."
