The service was really nice and security here made you feel safe. The rooms were smaller than I hoped for- we stayed here for the first few days of our trip and then went to movenpick for the last few days. Their rooms were bigger and spacious but the service was better here - it was still good but I felt at sankara they were just always ready to go above and beyond.

The service was wonderful, the management is very very profession and I highly commend Ms JOAN WAVALA, the guest Services Manager for her management style and everything she did for us to enjoy our stay at he Sankara. This was our third stay in Sankara within 1 year and we hope to come back again in July 2023. The only draw back is that the hotel has no SPA/Massage Parlor which a hotel of Sankara's Caliber should have. Second note is that refrigerators should be available in every room.
