Pros. From the moments you enter the doors you feel luxurious. No hustle, no hassle just all professional service from the start. If you are a snobb or not picker you may disagree but my experience was outstanding.

Cons. الموظفين في الاستقبال ومديرهم لا يعرفون فن التعامل مع النزلاء ولا يعترفون بخطأهم ولا يعتذرون. لا انصح بهذا الفندق بتاتا إلا إذا أردت أن تفقد اعصابك .
