Disappointing

The corridors smelt like cigarettes. I was given a box of a room with 2 ridiculous sized chairs that were completely out of place for such a small room. AC was just air and no chill. Changed to a bigger room, also an odd space with a small window and an enormous blank wall that should’ve been a window . Won’t be back.

Poor maintenance, cold shower

It was my 3rd stay at Royal tulip and unfortunately with same bad experience with a basic issue which is the shower : cold and leaking, when i did the check-in at 10pm i kindly asked the front desk agent to give me a room without shower problem, and this is what he confirmed to me, but at my surprise: cold water & leaking shower, they couldn't do anything that night and morning time i took a cold shower too, and just two hours before my check-out they suggested to me another room which doesn't make sense.

This is a nice location, away from the areas that riot when there is political unrest. The hotel is lovely. The staff is friendly, and there is a nice mall with food within a block or so if you get tired of hotel food. The hotel food is also good, but I like to get out and look around.
