The staffs at Check in counter were professional and very friendly. However, the service at breakfast restaurant is contrast and yet to be improved. Their face showed how fed up they were at work, and nobody cared to clear the pile of plates on the table…

Great spacious, quiet room with lounge access which includes tea, coffee, snacks. The Grand restaurant was also excellent where I had 2 lunches & 1 breakfast. It is a convenient location to shopping & street food, which looked good but I did nit try since I don't like eating standing up. Will stay again for conenience.

Room was great. King size bed was comfy but not too much room to move around the actual room. Daily replenishing of water was a nice touch. Breakfast was ample and served on the 21st floor with a beautiful view of the city.
