Decapolis hotel is in an excellent location, the breakfast buffet, the Bistro restaurant restaurant and gym are all nice. The rooms are clean and the bedding comfortable staff were friendly and helpful. However, the carpets especially on floor 19 need replacing or a deep clean. Floor 19 is also pretty loud I'm not sure what the cause is but I suspect it's the air-conditioning.
