Disliked: Staff & service
Facilities in rooms were good, the rooftop restaurant and breakfast were special. However don’t believe their soundproofing claim - we had bad noise from outside clubs and bars which went on all night. There was also noise from above from scraping chairs and tables. The hotel has little atmosphere and unfortunately the staff all missed the customer service training.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
My shower flooded my bathroom (I took a normal, ~7 min shower). Staff were combative in dealing with me. Eventually I was given a new room that also had problems (the sink didn’t work) but I was too fearful of the staff to report anything further.
