    friendly staff
    inconvenient access
    poor room service

    The hotel has a friendly and efficient staff.

    I was disappointed to find the access to the hotel inconvenient, since my guests had to walk a long distance from the parking area due to a sealed front gate. the room service did not meet my expectations, as the food quality was lacking compared to dining in the restaurant. While I appreciate the modern style of the hotel, these logistical issues left a negative impression.

    Here’s the good and the not-so-good

    Unmatched hospitality from the staff, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere! The breakfast spread was INCREDIBLE! ! Freshly made delights guaranteed to satisfy even the pickiest eaters.

    Access from the parking area could be better, making arrivals less convenient.

    Couldn't recommend more for resting at all

    Beautiful hotel, Kind staff, I was really impressed by the clean room and the warm hospitality from the staff, especially how the security team was incredibly helpful when our rental vehicle had a battery issue during our stay, and the location is quite convenient, just a few kilometers from the city center.

    access issues

    The hospitality here stands out, with the staff going out of their way to ensure a welcoming atmosphere. Breakfast featured an impressive array of options, including delightful home-made yogurt, which made mornings special. The rooftop bar provided great live music, enhancing the ambiance. the access from the parking area was less than ideal, and the Wi-Fi connection needed improvement.

    amazing breakfast
    rooftop pool
    slow wi-fi

    The breakfast spread was honestly the best I've ever had, and I loved lounging by the rooftop pool while soaking up the sun with a drink in hand. It was so relaxing that I almost forgot to explore the sauna, which was a nice touch. Just a heads up, the Wi-Fi could be a bit slow at times, so plan accordingly! 😊

    Top-notch service and comfy vibes!

    Had a really nice time here! The staff are super friendly and really go above and beyond. Victor and Wahu from the lounge were amazing – always checking on us. The breakfast spread was huge, with yummy options from all over. The only thing was that the Wi-Fi was a bit spotty at times.

    room service

    during my romantic weekend stay, sankara truly exceeded my expectations. the superior room offered a stunning city view and the breakfast buffet had an incredible selection, including organic juices and freshly baked croissants. the rooftop bar with live music created a perfect ambiance for a date night.

    room service took too long to deliver.
