The hotel has well-maintained, well furnished and equipped rooms. The cleanliness of the washroom was not up to the mark and the shower glass door was broken and not replaced. The hotel is built in a relatively narrow place, hence the 4 floors and one has to climb a lot of stairs or wait for the lift. The complimentary breakfast is served in the main restaurant only and not in the room and it is quite a hassle to go there right in the morning. And if you ask for it to be served in the room, it is not complimentary and charged very heavily. The room charges are a bit higher for what is offered in return.

If I could give zero stars, I absolutely would. Elite Hotel was one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had. We booked the penthouse thinking it would be a premium stay, but they failed to mention it’s far away from the main resort, isolated and inconvenient. On top of that, it was filthy. The staff was miserable and unhelpful. We requested just a few extra tea bags and they flat-out refused, shocking for any hotel that claims to offer decent service. The washrooms were in terrible condition, and to make matters worse, we found bugs on the bed. It was truly disgusting. Nothing was communicated properly. The whole place gave off a careless, unhygienic vibe. Do not book their penthouse or…
The cleanliness of the room was disappointing, and there was a strong unpleasant smell coming from the washroom. The washroom itself was not properly cleaned. The rates charged were quite high compared to the overall experience, which was not worth it. The food at the restaurant was also unsatisfactory the taste was poor, and the quantity served was very low. Additionally, the service was below expectations.
