"The small pool was the perfect way to cool down after a day sightseeing in the heat and the top floor sun terrace and relaxation area was amazing."

"It is old fashioned, and clunky and tired in some ways (no shoes beyond reception means the stair tread nosings are quite uncomfortable, the shower in the bathroom sprays the toilet, etc)."
