Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
Disliked: Staff & service
Facilities in rooms were good, the rooftop restaurant and breakfast were special. However don’t believe their soundproofing claim - we had bad noise from outside clubs and bars which went on all night. There was also noise from above from scraping chairs and tables. The hotel has little atmosphere and unfortunately the staff all missed the customer service training.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
My shower flooded my bathroom (I took a normal, ~7 min shower). Staff were combative in dealing with me. Eventually I was given a new room that also had problems (the sink didn’t work) but I was too fearful of the staff to report anything further.

Just one night

The room and bathroom were clean. Beds are comfy, Shower is over the bath and could do with a slip mat. We were in room 325, a basic room, overlooking a street, the window opens inwards and wide. The air conditioner is very noisy. But overall for one night it was good. Breakfast was just ok.
