Good hotel
Pros:

We stayed at Mandolay Hotel for one night, for a concert at G Live. It is literally across the road, it could not be more convenient.

From checking in to checking out, every member of staff we came across was friendly yet professional and they seemed to genuinely want you to be having a good stay

We will certainly stay here again if booking a concert at GLive

Excellent service, beautiful accommodation
Pros:

Wow what excellent service. I arrived late in the evening as a single female. The gentleman on the front desk Yudis, was professional, efficient and went above and beyond. He told me of the 2 parking areas and which would be most appropriate for my needs. He asked and listened for my reasons for the visit and proceeded to assist with directions for my meeting the next day. I was given a token for a complimentary drink! The room was beautiful, clean and I had a great nights sleep. I would recommend this hotel again. Excellent service and room. Thank you.

Geen comfort!
Pros:

De geografische ligging was perfect

Cons:

Douchen in een kast met kapotte douchekop en een upgrade die naar ons idee geen upgrade was maar een downgrade.

Fairly good
Pros:

We stayed one night in an executive accessible room as we were attending an event close by.

First impressions were excellent. Sunita was warm, welcoming and attentive. Our room was spotlessly clean, although a bit chilly even with heating turned up. Shower in wet room was hot, but water spread over bathroom floor as not draining fast enough.

We were disappointed there was little food choice in the bar or for room service on Sunday evening after our return from the theatre at about 9:45 pm. We only wanted a sandwich.
The breakfast was excellent - plenty of choice and good quality.
