Avoid this hotel if you're looking for a relaxing, stress-free stay!

The noise level here is absolutely INSANE!!! It feels more like a nightclub than a hotel, with music blasting everywhere—from the lobby and entrance to the bar and pool. My room was in the main building, and I could hear the music clearly from 7:15 AM until well past midnight. I called reception twice to see if anything could be done, and while they offered to move me to another room, they warned that it might be noisy as well due to cars on the nearby track.

Speaking of which, the constant sound of cars is another issue entirely. I understand that the track is one of the hotel's main attractions, but I never expected cars to be running at all hours, making it impossible to even have a conversation with someone sitting next to you.

To make matters worse, the service was slow. The breakfast table service was particularly frustrating, as I had to remind them multiple times that we were still waiting for our food. I also experienced issues with billing and credit card charges.

Overall, I was extremely disappointed. By the middle of my 7-night stay, I was already looking forward to going home. I definitely won't be staying here again.

6/5 for the location, entwined between the F1 race track!
The pool is also one of the most aesthetic one I've even been to, same for the rooms and the view.
We were skeptic about the breakfast initially, but the vegetarian and jain options were pretty good!

This hotel is amazing, the outstanding staff at the reception were super friendly and very helpful. They view is incredible.

The only point I didn’t like was the formula cars in the early morning starting at 9:00 AM so if you think about having a good sleep you will not have it.

For sure I will visit this hotel again and thanks for your hospitality.

Wanted to thank Juan at the front desk for such an easy check-in. He was very professional and answered all my questions.  During my lengthy stay, my room specialist, India and Pasha were fabulous.  My room was always clean and loved my fresh flowers.  There are plenty of food options in the hotel, along with a great happy hour.  Even though not much time was spent at the hotel, it was nice to come back every evening to a nice refreshed room.
