the location was superb, steps away from major attractions. the staff were great, always ready to assist with a smile (aziz was especially helpful!). i had a smooth airport transfer, arranged directly through the hotel. the breakfast had great variety, i loved the fresh fruit selection!
the elevator was a bit slow during peak hours, but i always took the stairs instead (a little extra exercise never hurt!).
