I have been here for the past three days and have to say it is driving me crazy but in a beautiful environment.........

There is absolutely NO TV in English which will be a blessing for some and no Google and intermittent internet.

If you are staying here for business, it is a...
Read moreParticipated in a national conference here. The Convention Center is excellent and well equipped. Staff are professional and efficient.||||The hotel's garden and courtyard is very vast. There are wonderful views in all directions. ||||The room is spacious, clean and comfortable. Food, including breakfast, lunch and dinner are great. Service is good. ||||The hotel is located at a distance from the nearest subway station (some twenty minutes walk to the Olympic Stadium Station). ...... inconvenient for backpackers or independent tourists.
