We had an excellent stay at this property, and I highly recommend it! The location is very convenient, just a 10-12 minute drive from the airport. The courtyard is beautiful and well-maintained, creating a relaxing atmosphere. My friend and I booked a two-bedroom apartment for two nights, and it was perfect in size, equipped with air conditioning and fans, and clean and tidy. Getting around was easy, as tuk-tuks were readily available, and the property’s location pin was accurate, making it hassle-free to find. I also tried the breakfast for one day—it was very affordable yet incredibly generous in portion. On the morning of our departure, they even packed a light breakfast for us, which was such a thoughtful gesture. A standout feature of this stay was the staff. They were very patient, helpful, and welcoming, making us feel right at home. Special mention goes to the host, Brown, whose warm smile and willingness to assist made our experience even better. When we encountered an issue with booking a ride to the airport, he stepped in and personally drove us there at a discounted rate to ensure we caught our flight on time. Once we arrived, he even helped me rush with our luggages. His kindness and dedication were truly remarkable. Overall, this accommodation offers exceptional value for money, with great amenities and outstanding service. Highly recommended!

I recently had a lovely one-night stay at the Tiffany Diamond Hotel and would absolutely stay there again. The staff were very nice and attentive, making us feel welcome. Our room was massive and well-equipped, and we really enjoyed the rooftop bar and restaurant. Beyond the very good service and amenities, the hotel offers excellent value for money, which was one of the main reasons for our choice. Plus, the convenience of their airport shuttle service made arrival and departure completely stress-free. Overall, recommended.
