I had an incredible stay at Tigerlily, where the atmosphere was vibrant and the decor was absolutely unique. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, and the breakfast was genuinely one of the best I've had in a hotel. However, it would be great if they could switch out the small toiletries for larger versions for an added touch of luxury.

Our stay at the hotel was memorable, with spacious rooms and an excellent breakfast that truly stood out. The modern, stylish decor created a lovely atmosphere, but the lively bar made relaxation more challenging than we expected. While we enjoyed the overall experience, it felt less like a traditional hotel stay and more like a boutique space with limited communal areas for unwinding.
