"The staff were the only good thing about this hotel. Disappointing since other Ovolos are great. The room was noisy, dusty and hot. The air conditioning didn’t work correctly and kept switching off every few hours. The food at the restaura was equally bad - tasteless and overpriced. Very disappointing ..."
