Far away from being a 5-star hotel. When you have to call reception 3 times for the room to get cleaned and it finally happens at 9pm, you understand where you are.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
This was the worst hotel I have been to in years. My room phone 1624 was not working for the whole 5 days I stayed there. I could order anything from the room. If I needed anything from toothpicks to an emergency kit, I had to go downstairs from the 16th floor. I reported it every single day, sometimes twice a day. They wrote it down on papers and never did anything about it, like never. It was the worst trip and stay asides the gym facility and friend staff that bit was terrible considering I paid more than $1k for 5 nights in a junior suite that was broken. The hotel is not worth it at all.

Great location and lots of good dining on site. Friendly staff. However the hotel is quite old and the rooms are outdated. I was disappointed by the breakfast. Lots of options but food quality was poor. Definitely expected more from a 5 star hotel.

The public areas are lavish but service levels for a 5 star international hotel were dreadful. It felt like a load of concessions rather than a joined up business. I was told I couldn’t sit in the bar area by the spa as I had bought my drink at another bar. That’s absurd. A few weeks of training could solve a lot of the problems.
