Reviews and Ratings
I was delighted with my stay at the hotel. The rooms were spacious, clean, and packed with all the amenities a traveler could need, offering a great view. The service was top-notch, with attentive and friendly staff, making my experience from check-in to check-out outstanding. The location was lovely, close to the night market and within walking distance to various attractions. However, the dining options were not as impressive for vegetarians, and some areas of the hotel seemed a bit dated.
Staying at the Horizon Club Level was a delightful experience, with large and very comfortable rooms filled to the brim with everything a traveler would need. However, compared to other Shangri-La properties I've visited in the past, the rooms here seemed a bit smaller and more tired.
The hotel offers wheelchair-accessible rooms on the 3rd floor above the lobby, though a bit tired and in need of refurbishment. The staff are very friendly and helpful, particularly Edward, who went out of his way to assist us. The location, while not centrally located, is within walking distance to various attractions. The dining options are diverse, with a slant towards Chinese cuisine. The facilities are adequate but can be noisy at times.
My stay at the hotel was absolutely wonderful! The rooms were immaculate, spacious, and incredibly comfortable. The Executive lounge provided a fantastic view and the bathroom was huge with a lovely bathtub. The hotel was very clean and well-maintained, making it a pleasure to relax and unwind there.
The hotel offers beautiful mountain views from the rooms but lacks soundproofing, making noise from the corridor noticeable. The accessibility for wheelchair users is commendable, although tissues ran out quickly. Service is friendly and welcoming, though improvements could justify the price. The location is convenient, with attractions within walking distance and a supermarket nearby. The dining options are good, with room for improvement compared to other hotels in the area.
I stayed at this hotel and found it to have big and comfortable rooms, but they are in need of some renovation. The service was excellent, with staff willing to answer any questions. The location was incredible, with a supermarket and night market within walking distance. The dining experience was amazing. Overall, a great stay with a few areas for improvement.
The hotel offers a mix of great and not so great experiences. The rooms were spectacular, amazingly clean, and boasted a stunning view, though they felt a bit dated and needed some updates. However, they were spacious and had been specially decorated for our special occasion. The service was fantastic, with friendly and helpful staff suggesting local destinations for us. The location was lovely, near the night market, but a bit busy on the walk to and from the old city. The dining experience was perfect most days, with a huge selection, though limited options for vegetarians. Overall, a stay with ups and downs.
The hotel offers spacious, well-maintained rooms with a separate bath tub and shower, daily water and fruits, and all necessary amenities. The service is proactive, with attention to detail, assisting guests with various arrangements. The location is convenient for shopping, markets, and cultural sites, although some maintenance issues were noted. The dining experience is diverse, although slightly crowded at times. Overall, a comfortable stay with excellent service and convenient amenities.
My stay was fantastic! The hotel was well-stocked and clean, perfect for travelers, but check-in took longer due to room cleaning. The service was top-notch from the moment we arrived until we left, and they promptly fixed a clogged drainage. The location was beautiful with relaxing views and close to the night market. Dining was delightful with plenty of fresh options. Overall, a great experience with minor room cleaning delay and location walk.
