Tips

• If you are sensitive to noise, ask for a room away from event spaces or on higher floors, as some guests noted occasional noise from weddings or seminars.
• Bring earplugs if you plan to stay in the suites near banquet halls.
• Given that air conditioning can be insufficient in some rooms, check the unit upon arrival to ensure it works properly, especially in summer.
• For easier access, use the nearby Abay Metro station and try local dining options like Café Burrito Go or Restaurant Trieste within a short walk.
