The system was down when we checked in so we couldn’t check in till 4pm an hour after our normal check in time. Room was nice and view was beautiful but the aircon was not cool enough and it got quite hot in the room. The rooftop bar was nice and views were amazing. Upon returning to the room we requested a bucket of ice but it took an hour and 5 phone calls to finally get the bucket of ice. I’d like to stay there again as the views and location were great but on the first time to stay there I did feel a bit let down by some of the service issues. Hope this feedback helps and can improve the service delivery for this venue.

Disliked: Staff & service
Positives: Early check in was smooth. Armani the front staff was very professional and helpful. Bed was comfortable, swimming pool had a nice view, breakfast buffet service was delicious and good. Check out was good - they helped with my luggage and provided me with takeaway breakfast for my family. Negatives: The baby crib they provided was old and run down. I asked for a replacement and it didn't work properly. There was gum under the table (unsafe for my baby that grabs things). Housekeeping did not take out my trash properly 3x in 9 days (I had many dirty diapers). Engineering staff walked all over my bathroom and got footprints everywhere, so dirty especially I have kids. To make matters worse, I requested a wake up call at 4:45am on a Friday, but they called me on Thursday unnecessarily waking me. There were a lot of internal miscommunication among staff in this hotel. For a 5 star hotel, it was only for the name and decor, but the internal staff really needs improvement to serve their customers. The standards were overall very low and did not meet my expectations. I was lucky to be able to meet the General Manager and she was able to accommodate my needs. I hope they strive to make better improvements for future customers.

Nice… but would stay elsewhere next time
Such a great location and lovely and helpful made the stay enjoyable. For the price the room was pretty small, though well set out. We had to ring housekeeping to get our room cleaned on our second day, this was after 3pm. We were advised that they had been busy, it took about 30mins for them to arrive and we went down to the lobby while they cleaned - not optimal when we just wanted to relax after walking around the city all day. Breakfast came free with our room and it was really delicious with good options. The set up of the buffet and seating is a bit odd and seems to make it hard for guests to get food or staff to do their job. Lovely hotel but I would not stay here again. There are so many hotel options that are just as good or better in this price range.
