I spent 4 nights at Pharos Hotels, and while I appreciated the excellent in-room dining and good breakfast, I experienced a few hiccups. I had to call housekeeping several times for missing items like face towels and had some minor technical issues with the TV, but all were promptly addressed. The location is great, with handy connections to amenities, and I felt safe after the housekeeping team safely returned a forgotten valuable watch. Overall, I would recommend this hotel. 😊🌟

I spent two nights at this hotel, and unfortunately, my experience was quite disappointing. While the room was clean and had a lovely color scheme, construction noise and air conditioning issues made my stay challenging. Hopefully, the construction will wrap up soon, but I'd recommend considering other options for now.
