Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Amenities
We first stayed at the Ardo the week it opened a few years ago. We were informed that it was running on a “soft opening” capacity and that some services wouldn’t be ready. We have since stayed a few more times over the last few years and it does still feel like it’s not operating at full capacity. The rooms are nice. But you have to go next door to The Ville hotel to get breakfast and the rooftop restaurant doesn’t open until 2pm. The pool is lovely and the design of the lobby and the rooms is very slick and feels very 5 star. But the lack of 5 star hotel facilities is a major problem for me and I’ll unlikely stay here again.
