"Such a wonderful property. We loved the view from our room, the aromatherapy in the evening and the quietness of the property. The staff were nice. We had a slight hiccup with a discount but the manager corrected it immediately. That was a really nice gesture. Thank you."
"We had a lovely 3 night stay at The Blue Mansion. The hotel has a fascinating history and as a resident you can join one of the twice daily tours to find out more. The bedroom was huge and the air conditioning very efficient. The bed was the biggest we’ve ever slept in and the shower was powerful with plenty of hot water. We had breakfast in the hotel. There was a choice of fruit juices, cereal and fresh fruit. You could order a cooked breakfast and there was bread available to toast and a choice of 2 cakes. The staff couldn’t do enough for you. Would highly recommend. "

"Everything was good but not sure about the lifts as it seems like they are not programmed well to distribute the usage. One lift service made about 6-7 stops just to go to the lobby from my 31st floor room. Isn’t the other lifts working?"
