We loved the old fashion feel, the beautiful gardens and the fabulous view from our room.
Nothing.

The palace suite was good, spacious and gives us a great feeling, the buffet breakfast was good, there were many options, the location and the outdoor ambience is excellent.
The standard room was very sloppy, the toilet fixtures are very sloppy due to the poor maintenance, the room size is also small though the view of the late from the balcony is good. The garden and the lawn is not well maintained, overgrown grass and water puddles everywhere
5.0 / 10.0
The location was very good it was an island so the place was surrounded with sea, it's very good to spend time with family.
The complete Island was covered with green grass and a lot of trees which makes it very pleasant to the eyes.
The buildings were a bit old and the newly constructed buildings were not properly maintained, I was staying in Marina hall it was very old , even the doors and windows were rusty and not painted properly .
The complimentary breakfast provided was a buffet it was not that great great taste and not many varieties.

Could relax on the lake side.
Staff were not helpful, some were rude. No privacy in the rooms, not anything exceptional to mention.
8.0 / 10.0
Beautiful location. We got the Marina view room. The lunch we ordered in the room was good. Nice and polite staff.
The building as such could have been maintained better although there is nothing that screamed for attention. For e.g. the balcony floor wasnt the cleanest and chairss were plastic andnot super clean.
1.0 / 10.0
the property and location is nice with good potential to excel; but the facilities are poorly managed
we booked palace suite and the mosquitos were scourging in the rooms. we had to literally escape from the bites and had to change room at the middle of night with our toddler. It was such a horrendous experience and for the money paid it is useless and not recommended, especially if one is for a leisure trip with family and kids. And the dust part if someone has allergy, better avoid this property or will end up wheezing (which I had to)
10.0 / 10.0
The dinner at the restaurant was a buffet for both nights we stayed in. The selection for the buffet was nearly the same on both days. I would have expected a better selection at least an ala-carte option for the price point.

The old world charm of the property, the history, the location, the garden all gave us very pleasant experience.
The bathroom is old but they were clean
5.0 / 10.0
The buildings and views beautiful, as is the location. One or two staff members went above and beyond to make my stay as nice as possible. The history of the building is important and it is nice to stay somewhere that has been significant. The food was fine.
The WiFi was disastrous and this had a big negative impact on my work during the stay. If I had come for just relaxation, then maybe it would be OK, but I had come for work. My room was only superficially clean - for example there was thick dust on wall lights and mirrors. However, bedding seemed to be clean. Apart from the two staff members who tried hard to make me welcome, all of the others were not very well trained in hospitality. For example staff in the bar just enjoyed chatting together and did not check on customers. I needed a hairdryer (which was not in the room) and asked housekeeping, but it never arrived, even though they promised to bring it. In general, staff looked shocked and confused when asked about anything, and did not seem used to working in hospitality. I heard that these problems are due to the hotel being a government-run premises, rather than run as a proper business. It's a shame as the location and historic buildings are really lovely.
3.0 / 10.0
The quality of the room was super basic and didnt reach expectation at all. I looked for a room with tub on booking and the room had the smallest bathroom with no tub ofcourse. The lights in th room were all white, and the furniture was of really low quality and taste. The only thing good about this property is the surroundings. breakfast was okay but the room was absolutely not what i expected out of a heritage building, No value for money
