My stay at this hotel was a mixed experience. The room had a beautiful view, but the surroundings were less appealing. The service was top-notch, but the dining options left something to be desired. The location was convenient, yet lacked some charm. The facilities were good, but not exceptional.

I absolutely loved the location of this hotel; it's right across from the beach and in a nice area overlooking the Esplanade. The rooms didn't have a working aircon, which was a big downside, especially the second bedroom with a view out the back over some derelict buildings.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel with stunning views from the room and top-end amenities. The view from the room was truly beautiful, but I found it a bit pricey. The service at the reception desk was excellent, but additional services like dry cleaning or laundry were not included, which was a downside. The hotel's location in the Esplanade was perfect, close to everything I needed, including an excellent restaurant, Hanuman. As for dining, I enjoyed the local pastries, although the price seemed a bit high for what was offered. The facilities were top-notch, but I wish they had included more for the price.

The hotel has a mixed bag of features with a nice spa bath in the room but lacks a decent view. The air conditioning wasn't working, which was a downside. However, being on the 12th floor offers a bit of seclusion from the surroundings.

The hotel offers spacious rooms with two bathrooms, some with lovely views and others with a less inspiring view over derelict buildings at the back. The service is excellent and convenient, with options for dry cleaning, laundry services, and tours/ticket assistance. The location is ideal, situated just across from the beach and close to the city center, bars, and restaurants. The dining experience, particularly the salads, is noteworthy. However, some may find the facility amenities to be lacking.

I couldn't have asked for a better location, right in the heart of the Esplanade and with a balcony overlooking the beautiful view of the water. Unfortunately, the air conditioning in the room on level 12 was not working, which made my stay a bit uncomfortable. Overall, despite this issue, I enjoyed my time at the hotel.
