My stay at The Capital Empire was quite pleasant overall. The location is fantastic, with direct access to shopping and corporate areas. While the service was warm and welcoming, there were a few areas that needed some improvement, particularly regarding the airport shuttle information and the condition of the pool. Nonetheless, I appreciated the spacious room and great dining options nearby.

Facilities were decent overall, but the swimming pool was not well-maintained during my visit (the water level seemed low and it looked a bit green). However, the housekeeping team did a fantastic job, ensuring my apartment was spotless.
