Disappointing - 2.0 out of 5

Anonymous Mon, 30 June 2025

The stay was quite shocking...

Disliked: Staff were far too low in numbers leading to both delays in food being served for breakfast and long queues at its longe bar. The staff were also poorly trained and some were simply rude with very poor interpersonal skills.

Acceptable but not expected

Liked: The most thing that I like is the location and the view
Disliked: The staff's treatment when I asked for green tea, they didn't bring it to me. They told me to order it from the lounge, even though I always order it in all hotels and they bring it to me. At breakfast, one of the employees spoke to me sharply to change my seat so that there would be a distance from the neighboring table. Her manner was sharp and her voice was loud in front of everyone.
