Nice place but bedding way too hot

The place is nice Staff nice Nice room But the bedding was way too hot and when checking out another customer was also complaining about the bedding and duvet being way too hot You want to stay in a nice hotel You pay the nice hotel price But you get a terrible nights sleep because the bedding / duvet is way too hot Disappointing Maybe the manager responsible for the bedding should try sleeping with the duvet they provide - very hot - so we both came away exhausted - not exactly what we had planned !!

We were quite disappointed with our experience at Alluvial. Our daughter has allergies, and although the service staff was kind and provided the information we needed, the timing of the meals was not ideal. We ordered standard menu items, including our daughter’s meal, and at that point there were only three other groups in the restaurant, with two more arriving after us. However, all of their meals were served before ours. It took around 40 minutes for my wife’s and my meals to arrive, and an additional 10 minutes for our daughter’s. In total, there were just six groups dining. We also overheard another guest expressing concerns about delays with their room service. For a five-star hotel, we had hoped for a smoother dining experience

Staff service was incompetent. Valet service took too long. We booked for a specific time and we were still waiting approx 20 min. Online service didnt work and phoned reception - they had no idea how to take an order. Again took a while to place order. We asked for a specific time and was still half an hour late. Ordering room service, way overpriced for quality of food. Overall service was disappointing.

Wonderful stay. Enjoyed the hospitality. Breakfast is awesome. Centrally located with city Trams. Only issue is the doors particularly to the bathrooms sometimes get stuck and make it difficult to use.

Not much food selection which was ordinary. I had a cleaner enter the room whilst I was in the bathroom. Asked them to leave as I wasn’t comfortable with them being in my room. They kept say they will just be a minute, until I ended up yelling through the door to get out.

Pool was cool.

The staff welcoming the room was comfortable. But it had a strong unpleasant odour in the room. The swimming pool was a on the cool side. When we told the staff about the odour there was no reaction no offer of a different room.
