Although the staff were very friendly and apologetic when there were issues, the problems we had were not resolved. For example, our balcony light could not be turned off the first night, even after being told that someone would come to fix it. Nobody ever showed up. The next morning we asked for the balcony to be cleaned as it was very dirty. Someone swept it without much care when it really needed a proper mopping. We stayed in a city view room, and guessing that these rooms need some updating as other parts of the hotel appeared new and modern. For example, the shower head didn’t function properly and everything in our room was rather old and falling apart- including switches that didn’t work. On the other hand, the breakfast was excellent offering a variety of international choices as well delicious local dishes. The buffet dinner was also quite good, albeit pricey. The location proved to be what we wanted. It was within walking distance to the Sanctuary of Truth, which was the main reason we stayed there.
