    Very comfortable bed and pillows. Wonderful breakfast variety - very good choice for vegetarians as well as meat lovers. Stunning views. Tasty coffee and black tea - which was so great to taste after a long gap. Easy to get from the airport. It’s clean and beautiful in the hotel. Very nice and modern design. It was happiness to have a writing desk in the room where you can sit comfortably and work on your laptop. Though no place to go outside. But still there is a petrol station nearby if you need something minor to buy.
