The proximity to attractions is unmatched but unfortunately, this is where the positivity ends.
Despite staff trying their best to be welcoming and accommodating requests, this hotel is a long shot away from 4 stars, especially at this price point.
Upon checking in I saw that the room was significantly smaller than advertised. I booked a junior suite which in all photos featured a desk thay I was planning on using for work.
There was a sticker from a shoe on the lounge chair in the room, which not a big issue but was the first cleanliness issue amongst many bigger ones.
I was tired from my flight and wanted to take a bath, as I was filling up the tub, long and short hairs in shades of brown emerged from the bottom. On top of that the bathtub is old and tired, they could patch up the black bits around the corners if they wanted to, won't cost much and would make all the difference. On top of that, there's bits of mold growing around the silicon strips on the glass panels and the tiles.
The linen was stained with orange marks, as visible on the photo attached.
My room was on the ground floor, facing the main road with zero to no privacy, loud noise coming both from the lobby, restaurant, other rooms and from the streets.
I wanted to get room service with some dinner after, as I still wanted to get some work done. I dialled reception and they told me to "Wait a second, I will explain". A minute later someone comes straight into the room to tell me that the chef had gone home for the day and proceeds to leave the room. This sort of service is maybe common in a hostel but not in an expensive hotel in the centre of a metropolitan city. It felt rather unsafe.
They helped me order dinner from a nearby rooftop bar, and when the food arrived, they didn't even bother to place it in a plate but left it in a plastic box without providing any cutlery.
Despite all this, I ended up spending the night here, in the morning I left and bad breakfast somewhere else as I frankly wanted to leave immediately.
