Villa Rotana

Modern, fresh, friendly.

Great service, friendly staff, good food, good location, gym/pool/spa/sauna, very modern and nicely furnished rooms with all the comforts of home.

Paying for the Internet. That's it.

The hotel is very new and kept spotless. It would easily be a 5 star hotel in Europe. It's stylish and modern but nevertheless has some character. I was allowed to use a meeting room for a 2 hours meeting during my stay at no extra charge. Fruit in the room, breakfast included in the rate, kitchenette in the room, LCD screen etc are all very nice touches.

I was pushed to accept private transportation back to the airport at a much higher fare than a taxi. I had specifically asked for a standard taxi and Reception found all sorts of excuses to make me use the hotel transportation. Having this been my last conversation with the hotel staff, it left a better taste in my mouth, in spite of having enjoyed my 4 night stay at the hotel thoroughly. The hotel needs to review this policy or guests might find this a reason not to return.
