    Recommend it for a couple's getaway

    The service from the staff was excellent they greeted us with warm smiles and made sure we were comfortable. Also the rooftop bar was a highlight we enjoyed some good samosas and the view was fine.

    It wasn't inexpensive but honestly it was reasonable for what you get.

    farm-to-table dining
    rooftop views
    long wait times

    The farm-to-table concept really stood out, with fresh ingredients making every meal nice. Our room was comfortable, and the rooftop views were amazing during sunset.

    My wife says that the waiting times could be shorter.

    rooftop restaurant
    long wait

    The centrally located Sarova Imperial offers clean, spacious rooms and very professional staff. The breakfast selection is extensive and always well-stocked. The highlight was the rooftop restaurant, where the local chicken was really good. The hotel provides comfortable meeting areas perfect for networking over tea and snacks.

    Had to wait over an hour for our room to be ready.

    comfortable beds
    rooftop view
    room arrangement delay

    I really enjoyed my stay, especially when Monica helped me get a mini-fridge for my drinks and the beds were super comfy. There are nice spots to relax, like the beautiful rooftop view and the cozy lounge area. One thing I'd note is that it took a bit too long to get our room arrangement sorted, but everything else was great 😊

    great breakfast
    convenient location
    open dining area

    The breakfast had a great variety, and the staff's friendliness. Victor, in particular, provided really good service. The location is convenient for exploring nearby attractions.

    The dining area felt a bit too open, lacking privacy for couples.
