I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, which really stood out for its spacious and clean rooms with stunning views. The service from the passionate staff was impressive, particularly Gloria at the front desk, who made me feel welcome. However, while dining had great options, I found the breakfast selection a bit limited. Overall, the value for money is excellent, making it a solid choice for a cozy getaway.

My stay at this hotel was quite enjoyable overall. The rooms were clean, stylish, and had a breathtaking view of Mount Meru, which added a special touch to my experience. The service was genuinely helpful, making my needs a priority, although there were moments when it was a bit slow. The dining options were decent but not as extensive as I've seen elsewhere. Additionally, the grounds felt like a refreshing retreat, enhancing the overall atmosphere.

My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and I loved the stunning view of Mount Meru. While the service was attentive at times, some staff seemed a bit overwhelmed. The dining experience was memorable, but I felt the breakfast options were somewhat limited compared to what I expected. For the price, it offers good value, though not all details were perfect.

I really enjoyed my stay at the hotel, which combines modern comfort with a touch of luxury. The rooms were stylish and brought a lot of comfort, making my time there quite pleasant. However, the restaurant options weren't as extensive as I'd hoped. The staff went above and beyond in their service, contributing positively to the overall experience. On the downside, I found the dining experience a bit limited compared to similar places I’ve visited.
