I used to stay in Gardens quite often, before Covid. This is my first time back after the pandemic, and after their major renovation. I much prefer the previous layout of the rooms - the current one feels too ‘dark’ and is quite cramped, with the wardrobe merged into the toilet/bath area, and the twin beds have significantly shrunk in size compared to before. We had problems with both the aircon and shower thermostats. And the swimming pool wasn’t well maintained at all - algae, and the water level was definitely not at 1.2m, was very low! While overall the hotel is of course “new”-ish and clean, and staff are up to standard, I personally didn’t have a great experience compared to all the years before, and not likely to return, considering the price as well.
