Well located Quality modern hotel
Great modern hotel centrally located with a number of bars and restaurants in the vicinity. Rooms were modern and well appointed. Staff friendly and efficient. Graze restaurant worth a visit if you like a US Steak house
Price was on expensive side but if you can get a good deal worth a stay when visiting the city

The service was really nice and security here made you feel safe. The rooms were smaller than I hoped for- we stayed here for the first few days of our trip and then went to movenpick for the last few days. Their rooms were bigger and spacious but the service was better here - it was still good but I felt at sankara they were just always ready to go above and beyond.

Oasis of calm
Comfortable hotel with great service— an oasis of peace and calm in a generally chaotic overbuilt city that strains the senses
