Nothing

lovely hotel clean and spacious rooms -Lovely staff and very helpful -Breakfast buffet is good quality

Bad points - this hotel is part of the other hotels on the same complex e.g. it states it has a restaurant and gym but they are in the Sofitel so when I wanted to use the fitness centre I had go to a different hotel which was inconvenient and we wanted to eat dinner at the hotel and were told we needed to go to the Sofitel but couldn’t charge to room as deposit paid wasn’t big enough so we just went back to room and ordered room service. Also when we got dropped off from the station on arrival the taxi driver was very confused where to go and dropped us at the Sofitel so we had to walk around to our hotel with our big bags - The location isn’t convenient it is a long walk from the sites and a taxi is needed but it is impossible to get a taxi from the hotel and you need to flag one down from the main road. We asked for a taxi to the goose pagoda and the concierge ordered us one and we waited ages. Eventually the concierge said sorry no taxi and indicated for us to walk to main road. We implied that it was very difficult to order a taxi by Flagging one down as we get a lot of refusals so he drove us in a buggy to the main road and hauled one for us but it took him a while! - Not best advise given on where to go for restaurant and bars guess language barrier and map provided wasn’t to scale or very useful
