Good breakfast offerings albeit very busy and some guests desperately hungry. Nice pool and good gym. Entrance foyer doesn’t have any real ambience although there is a coffee shop and the in house nightclub can get quite loud. Friendly staff. Room serviced each day. It’s a Hilton.

Excellent stay

Great location not far from the airport as well as conveniently close to ammenities in the city, Hotel and room was well equipped with comfortable bed, spacious room and shower, pool is very well kept and presented with nice loungers and good drink/food service ( not cheap though but worth as a treat) Service was impeccable from check in , breakfast was well organised with great variety of food and beverage , i had a late check with a late flight in the evening they kindly allowed me to use the pool for the day so i could relax, chill and have a shower prior making my way to the airport. Excellent customer service!!
