early check-inefficient transfer

The staff were keen to help. They gave early check-in without problems. Airport transfers are efficient and punctual. The Cloud Restaurant offers a good selection of cuisines.

The major downside is nonexistent sound isolation. You can clearly hear everything in the corridor. The hotel is surrounded by mosques that have prayer calls via external speakers.

The airport shuttle service was prompt. It was stress-free too.

The room I booked was not like the pictures online. It was smaller. The bathroom lighting was dim. The bidet did not work after the first day. Water temperature fluctuated a lot. No slippers were in the room.

The airport transfer was prompt. The team provided attentive service from pickup to drop-off. The hotel has a refreshing fragrance. A cute towel and mango drink are a nice touch.

The elevator made a slight noise when in use.
