Not 5 star, but perfectly okay
The people/service was excellent. For a 5 star hotel it was lacking - it wasn’t clean enough throughout the room (although the bathroom was fine). Had it been 3/4 star we would have rated it higher.

Upon checkin, there were three issues: - room phone not working - Tv not working - Shower drain was blocked and water collected in the stall All items got resolved individually after asking for help! One should not have to seek assistance for all these issues. On the second night i got sick from the buffet food. Since it was a buffet I cannot identify what food item to be blamed. Took me three days to recover.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
My room did have a balcony, but the doors had to be kept closed to keep the heat out and also because of mosquitos. The hotel has a beautifully tiled foyer - it must have been renovated since the image in the listing was taken. The public spaces were nice, but my room was a bit 'institutional' with very few 'comforts' and terrible lighting.
