"A bit too expensive with no microwave and the bar fridge was jammed packed with booze, could not fit your own drinks in. For a person who doesn't drink that was very annoying. If they tone down on trying to manipulate people from buying their products, will it smashed in your face, I would have stayed their again."

"I booked this hotel because I really wanted somewhere with a great view, and it definitely did not disappoint! The **view was easily my favourite part of the stay**, along with the **rooftop pool**. I enjoyed the hotel so much that I even created a TikTok video about my stay. JP Collectables & Travel. The rooms were tidy and comfortable. They weren’t overly modern or luxurious, but they were simple and had everything we needed. The staff were great and very helpful. My friend had an issue with the air conditioning in their room, and the staff did their best to get the problem sorted. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay. If you’re looking for a hotel with **amazing views and a great rooftop pool**, I would definitely recommend it!"
