Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Overall I liked the room, the design and it has everything you might need. The location is also ideal with lots of bars and restaurants nearby, plus the proximity to the airport. My issue with this hotel was I specifically asked for a quiet room away from busy floors, I was kindly upgraded to the 15th floor. There didn’t seem to be many staying on it, so I set in for a sleep only to be woken at Midnight by the room next door (which had an adjoining door) who’s kid was kicking the door, walls and banging on the floor. They were also screaming and crying, had my partner not already been asleep I’d have called reception. This chaos went on for nearly 2 hours within which time I didn’t sleep and sadly had to be up at 6am. The worst thing was upon check out the receptionist didn’t even ask how my stay was. This is why you are being left a poor review as it is very overpriced for this standard hotel.
