This hotel is located on Shamian island (Sand island) and is surrounded by old Colonial buildings, a surprising amount of greenery and very few cars. But when I walked in the roon, I couldnt believe that I'm actually in Five star hotel after paying so much money. I was told the hotel was bulit 28 years old and I guess it was a veritable palace of luxury way back then, but it hasn´t kept up with modern times. My suggestion for you is ---Try a another place with better value of money.
