What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Spacious and Clean

I stayed in a residence apartment for over two months, and it was incredibly spacious and well-equipped for a family of five. The recent renovations were apparent, and everything was clean and comfortable. I appreciated having a fully furnished kitchen to prepare meals when needed.

Delicious Culinary Experience

I had the pleasure of dining at the Bo Sabi restaurant during my stay. The atmosphere was calm, and the service was beyond really good. I highly recommend their Kung Pao chicken and Pad Thai noodles, which were suggested to me by the friendly staff. Every bite was full of flavor!

Relaxing Pool Area

The pool area was a true highlight of my stay. It was a perfect spot to unwind after a busy day of exploring. I enjoyed a lovely light lunch with a great view of the bridge and sea from the 10th floor, making it a good experience.

My stay at the hotel was quite enjoyable overall, with a few standout moments and areas for improvement. The location is incredibly convenient, just a short drive from the airport and nearby attractions, while the Royal Club lounge service truly impressed me.

Additionally, some staff members, although friendly, seemed less engaged at times, which affected the service quality.
