I love this hotel, the rooftop with the beautiful view and the great ambiance is a nice experience that you need to live, the high security level makes you feel safe, the rooms and everything is clean and beautiful that you know you're on a 5 star luxury hotel.

It was very nice but we never had any hot water so cold showers a lot. Also we asked to get out sheets cleaned or new towels and it never happened which was very frustrating. Although the apartment is very clean and has all the things you need!
