A hotel to remember
Brand new hotel in Gigiri area. The lobby is quite outstanding with a nice patio. My room (7th floor) overlooked the swimming pool with an uninterrupted view full of Green. Peaceful and quiet. My room was rather large and well decorated, the hotel is very well decorated anyway to give it a rather unique style. Breakfast is also quite outstanding (lot of choices), it is a price but it’s worth it! A special message to all the hotel staff, whether they are reception staff, cleaning staff, restaurant staff or security staff they are all welcoming, smiling, positive and above all professional. Keep up the good work! You rock!
