the breakfast had good options. i liked the varied selection available. the rooftop pool offered great views. it was a nice spot to relax after a long day. the room was modern. it was also clean.
the check-in took a long time. i waited almost an hour. the staff seemed understaffed at that moment. the hotel charged more than expected. extra fees and taxes increased the final bill. the room lacked basic amenities. i missed having slippers available.

the rooms had facilities as expected, i guess it was ok.
my stay wasn't great. housekeeping broke our shower head, and water sprayed everywhere. also, the rooms looked a bit run down and i get the feeling that they don't really care about customer experience anymore.

Really good Hotel Experience

convenient locationsuperb viewcomfortable room
My stay featured a convenient location near the city center mall. The Lotus Tower view from my room on the 18th floor was superb. Mahesh kept my spacious room very comfortable (I was very grateful for the tidiness).
I noticed the rooftop bar staff seemed a bit confused about room charges, requesting immediate payment instead of allowing me to sign it to my room.

Shamil at the reception made our check-in seamless. He answered all our questions. Breakfast had a great variety of dishes to choose from. The hotel is ideally located next to the city center mall (this made shopping very easy).
My baby's medicine ice pack was not always put in the freezer refrigerator. There were no tea sugar bags provided. The mini fridge did not cool well enough to keep my baby's medicine cold (this was a concern).
