9.4/10 Exceptional! (95 reviews)

Front desk staffs doesn’t communicate well in English. Staffs need to smile and greet hotel guests more. Setup of lobby on top floor is first time experience and need to take the lifts twice to enter and exit. Like the viewing area on 18th floor. Complimentary snacks and drinks are added benefit experience while relaxing there.
