This breakfast buffet was held at the hotel’s roof deck, which made the experience feel a bit more special at first because of the nice morning view and open-air ambiance. However, despite the pleasant setting, the food itself didn’t quite live up to expectations.
The buffet offered a rather limited selection. While the spread included a few main dishes, there seemed to be more desserts and pastries than actual viands, which can be disappointing for those expecting a filling morning meal. Some food containers were left empty during my visit, and refills were not immediate.

With better food quality, temperature control, and replenishment, the experience could be...

The staff were very warm, they answered our questions politely and they attend to whatever our extra needs are. The food is great but sometimes the inventory management is not good like there are several minutes where some dishes and desserts are not restocked. It was not that long though. Overall, this place is...
