Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
I was placed in a disabled room which had limited hanging area and no drawers or luggage rack. For a top end hotel charging over $500 a night it was so poor. I stay in 3 star hotels in Europe with better facilities. There was also no coffee machine - instant coffee is not ok in a top end hotel. The staff were aloof and not knowledgeable about reaching the city centre. I left early due to an emergency at home but was not refunded the last night. The staff need better training.

my only complaint was, I had checked for in advance about an early check-in since my flight was coming in quite early in the morning and was told there was a possibility we could get in our room by lunchtime and every time we checked, they kept pushing the time back until it was actual check in time and they were kind of snippy about it and if they have been upfront that there was no possibility of an early check-in I would’ve requested an extra night as opposed to being stuck in the hotel lobby for the entire day

Stay here

Room was perfect. Beds comfy, bathrooms fresh. Room service handy, though the ravioli wasn’t amazing. Buffet breakfast was also fab tho they could include one barista made coffee vs pointing you to the Nespresso machine. Gym was great, pool could have been heated, a bit cold for the kids in the morning. Overall great location and great sleep, so we were happy
