Fine stay, not worthy of 5 stars

A fine stay but definitely not 5 stars. Room was large and great bathroom, but cleanliness was somewhat lacking, especially the carpets which were stained and dirty. Hotel itself was clean and modern - rooftop bar was nice. Pool looked good - staff were rude when tried to use it, saying you needed to purchase swimming caps from reception. Not a very welcoming approach to using the facilities.

This hotel claims to be 5-star, but our experience was far from it. The air conditioning didn’t work the entire time we were there, making the room unbearably hot and impossible to sleep in. We reported the issue three times—each time we were told a technician would come. Someone showed up twice, only to tell us there was nothing they could do. No resolution, no apology, no compensation. On top of that, the beds were uncomfortable and the carpet was stained and filthy. For a hotel that markets itself as luxury, the reality is way off. Poor maintenance, poor service, and not worth the money. Avoid if you’re expecting anything close to a 5-star stay.
