I stayed here for 5 nights in March 2025. The staff were excellent, I got into my room early, which was great. The pool was being renovated but I was allowed into the G Gurney hotel nearby for access to the pool area. There is plenty to do and see along Gurney Drive. I highly recommend this hotel. Eamon

I choose this hotel because of their rooftop pool and sky bar, unfortunately when I check in, the hotel reception told me that both facilities is under construction. Very disappointed, I payed that much money but can’t enjoy the facilities, why no notification in their official website

Great location. Large rooms. Only downside is that the walls are thin so we could hear neighbours talk in their rooms.

Great hotel, very poor food and beverage.

Hotel is great and house keeping very good. The food and beverage is quite poor for the build of the hotel. The menu is tiny and not great. The drinks are quite poor. Also the staff are not attentive. Theres entire cafes with just no one in attendance at all. It is quite bizarre and they are clearly losing a decent share of money from this. If you went up to me when I was at the pool and asked if I wanted anything I would have, even from the limited menu. The cafe downstairs has never got any staff. If thats the case then just delete the cafe. It is far worse to have a bad, zero service cafe than it is to have a non existent one. Whoever is in charge of the F&B at the hotel really is doing an exemptionally poor job. The rest of the hotel is great. From the door staff to the housekeeping. But the F&B is actually a wonderful example of how not to do something.
