10/10 Excellent
"Booked a Twin queen room and was upgraded to 3 bedroom studio apartment. What a surprise ! Super comfy couches, beds, split aircon throughout the property. Large Kitchen and dining (which we did not use!) and 2 large renovated bathrooms. Check in was quick from the bar and staff were very friendly. Good options to eat nearby. Will recommend 100%."
