guest loungemeditation spacegreat facilitiesquick contact
The hotel is close to transport and many attractions. The guest lounge provided complimentary drinks and appetizers for generous hours each day in a comfortable setting. I really liked the bathing and meditation spaces. The hotel contacted me quickly after I checked out, letting me know I had left money in the safe. They contacted me within 30 minutes of my checkout to inform me about the money I left behind. The afternoon tea and evening snack were great additions to the amazing facilities. The baths were also lovely.
The lighting in my room was too complex.
