Its a beautiful hotel. The 1 bedroom suite was spacious. Staff at the front desk were lovely, especially Ash (i meed to mention her). I think breakfast options at Ostani were limited (in particular, snack options). The room was clean on entry. But the cleaning during our stay was a bit careless. The bed was poorly .made and bathroom items carlessly placed. These little things matter

Faded glory I think. For what we paid I was disappointed with the condition of the room, the bathroom mirror was dirty and the shower hinge was broken. Of significant issue, the QR code with all of the room information was missing and the staff had no system in place to resolve the issue outside of the IT department’s office hours, so we had no access to room service, could not see the mini bar prices etc. By way of compensation the duty manager gave us the bottled water that we had used from the mini bar free of charge, and offered two coffee vouchers which we had no way to use. I did not feel terribly happy about this offer. The onsite restaurants were booked out for functions so we ended up having to eat off site. The dining options were one reason why we chose this venue. I think had I not paid for 5 star, I might not have been so disappointed, but for the price I would not choose this hotel again.
