Pros:

Very clean, new hotel. Bathroom spotless with a good shower. Swimming pool and gym very good. Staff great and smiling. Lots of open spaces to meet and chat. Hot pot in the room..

Cons:

Room was rather spartan like breakfast. Sound insulation was poor, could hear the lift at night although it was a few rooms away. The bathroom door lock required the fingers of an Italian auto mechanic to operate.

Excellent staff and facilities
Pros:

The management and staff at reception were all excellent, really helpful and full of smiles; thank you for your amazing hospitality Akash and the team!
The place is so colourful and the pool and gym are in excellent condition. The laundry facilities are super handy and well maintained.
The beds are comfy, showers are great, and housekeeping keep the room spotlessly clean.

Cons:

Unfortunate view straight in to the multi story car park of the hotel next door meant you need to keep the blinds down to have privacy, which meant no natural light in the room.

Pros:

Nice and clean space is ok not very big rooms but all amenities available.

Imprescindibile migliorare la colazione per esperienza da 10
Pros:

L’hotel è nuovo e si trova in una bella zona vicina al mare ma anche al centro. La stanza è abbastanza grande e curata. I bonus sono sicuramente la lavanderia self-service direttamente all’interno, la piscina è la palestra.

Cons:

Unica nota dolente é stata la colazione, in teoria inclusa nella prenotazione. Bevande come te e caffè erano a pagamento e il cibo era prevalentemente malese, con piatti a base di riso e carne. Per gli europei solo del pane da tostare con delle marmellate. Sicuramente non il massimo per un diabetico.

Pros:

Location, Convenient to Restaurant/Bar, Facilities are all good

Cons:

Parking access to the hotel during the first arrival as only access card can be use to tap out to parking, will advise to drop off in the lobby first before to car park.

Convenient, simple and sufficient
Pros:

Stay was great. Room was clean and facilities were good. I liked the water filter fountain to prevent purchasing bottled water

Cons:

Walls were a little thin and I could hear noises from people entering/exiting their room as well as hearing other people turning on lights or speaking loudly in their room
