“Sankara is one of the best 5 star hotels I have ever been to! The staff is incredibly nice and willing to help with anything- from organising your day tours to an airport shuttle. Upon arrival we were greeted by the staff with a welcoming smile and a glass of fresh mango juice which was incredible. The food was amazing especially at the bakery they have on the 1st floor, George the waiter was so polite and nice he made us feel very comfortable and made sure our food was fine. The rooms are very clean and spacious with an incredible view of the city, room service is fast and efficient- my friend and I ordered a couple of times from 'Artistan' the meat restaurant. All in all Sankara is highly recommended by me, I've really enjoyed my stay and I'm sure ill be back again.”
