I'm not even sure how to begin describing the Shangri-la, because anything I write will be an understatement of how excellent this hotel really is! The rooms are magnificent, clean to the highest of standards and they include anything you'd ever need whilst staying here. I particularly liked the complimentary fruit bowl which is restocked everyday as well as the... more

The rooms are spacious, very comfortable mattress, nighttables with lamps, desk with chair, sofa and table, TV, minibar... more
