My stay at the hotel was quite underwhelming. The rooms I received didn't match the photos I'd seen, which was really disappointing. While the staff was accommodating, the service was lacking and I felt ignored at times. The rooftop restaurant had a nice atmosphere, but the food was just average. Location-wise, it's a bit of a trek to the mall road, especially at night, which was a downside.

I had a decent stay at the hotel that's just a short walk from Mall Road. The rooms are modern and pretty comfortable, though I found it a bit chilly without proper heating during my visit in March. The rooftop restaurant is nice with fresh food, but be prepared for some price haggling. Overall, I would consider staying here again as it offers good value for money, despite a few drawbacks.

The hotel is conveniently located within walking distance to Mall Road, making it easy to explore. While the staff was accommodating with early check-in, the cleanliness of the rooms left much to be desired. The breakfast menu was repetitive, adding to the overall average experience.

I had a comfortable stay at this hotel with spacious rooms and a rooftop restaurant that offers a great view of the city. The staff was very accommodating and friendly, making the experience enjoyable. However, while the dine-in food was delicious, it felt a bit overpriced, and the breakfast menu could use some improvement. Overall, it's a decent place for a family getaway, but some aspects could definitely be enhanced.

This hotel has a mix of strengths and weaknesses. The location is excellent, being conveniently close to the mall road, which is a significant plus.

I stayed at this hotel for three nights with my family, and overall, it was a pleasant experience. The room was spacious and clean, with a breathtaking view from the top floor. The rooftop restaurant offered delicious food, although it was a bit pricey. However, I think there's room for improvement in the breakfast menu. Convenience to mall road through a shortcut was a nice touch too, making it easier to explore the area.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. Although the location is decent with easy access to the mall, the service could have been much better, as we often felt ignored.
