N/A — I did not have breakfast. One issue I experienced was with transportation. The hotel did not notify the taxi agency in advance, and as a result, I waited at the airport for over an hour. I had to coordinate with airport security to contact the taxi agency so they could come pick me up. The taxi agent informed me that the hotel did not forward my reservation, which is why they did not arrive with a sign as expected. For future arrangements, please ensure that the reservation is properly forwarded to the taxi agency. Other than that, everything was perfect, especially the staff...overall, the hotel cleaning was very good, and the rooms and common areas were well maintained.

Disliked: Room comfort
Staff was nice and welcoming. Hotel looks nice but there were some major problems/inconveniences with my stay. Air conditioner in room was broke so it was burning up hot the first night and freezing cold the second night… the toilet ran all night (fixed the second night). The bathroom sink leaked (fixed the second night). There was foul smell in hallways and elevators. Wait times for room service was unreasonably long; I had to call down and remind them that an order was placed.

Our stay for 3 nights was amazing from the reception staff, cleaners, restaurant staff & the meals were lovely. The Troy Mediterranean restaurant was great as was the Kahani restaurant, Ezekie was a great host as was the chef Vivek. The Hotel is very close to Village Market , which you can walk to - well worth a visit and would recommend this Hotel. My wife had fallen ill and the reception staff were very helpful and comforting.
