This hotel has been disappointment from start to finish. The greeting I got from the staff behind the Reception was miserable and quite frankly rude. 'Service with a smile' doesn't exist here.
The first room I got was dull, very unclean and had small windows. I requested a room with larger windows as I get claustrophobic, only to be told they're all the same size. I was about to check out and head to the Meridien, before they turned around and offered me this room that had miraculously become available. The room was much better, cleaner, newer and brighter...and has larger windows - so the woman at Reception basically lied to me.
I had to inform the front desk that the safe wasn't working and neither was the air-con. They said they would fix it - and they didn't. They in fact had no record of me reporting this, as I found out the following day when I had to report it again. After speaking to a lovely gentleman, I came back that evening to a functional room that I didn't freeze in, as well as somewhere safe to keep my passport.
The cleaning service, despite being provided bey lovely and polite people, is very inconsistent. Toilet roll, coffee, water, mini bar...never all consistently get replenished - and when I call to request more coffee, the room service person waits for a tip...for a job they should've already done.
WiFi - it took me 8 minutes to load this review page. You decide!
Overall, the hotel is lovely and the communal areas are stunning. Request a refurbished room. Ensure your bathroom is double cleaned. Bring your own coffee. But be prepared to have the most miserable service at the front desk - not even a Good Morning. First rule of hospitality...
I would never stay here again!
