We stayed here in May 2009 for a week. Despite other reviews on this site saying it is closed to general public, we didn't have any trouble making a booking at US$149 per night plus taxes. The hotel is really nice, very new and clean. The garden was closed most of our stay due to exams taking place which was... more
