Staff was nice and welcoming. Hotel looks nice but there were some major problems/inconveniences with my stay. Air conditioner in room was broke so it was burning up hot the first night and freezing cold the second night… the toilet ran all night (fixed the second night). The bathroom sink leaked (fixed the second night). There was foul smell in hallways and elevators. Wait times for room service was unreasonably long; I had to call down and remind them that an order was placed.

Our stay for 3 nights was amazing from the reception staff, cleaners, restaurant staff & the meals were lovely. The Troy Mediterranean restaurant was great as was the Kahani restaurant, Ezekie was a great host as was the chef Vivek. The Hotel is very close to Village Market , which you can walk to - well worth a visit and would recommend this Hotel. My wife had fallen ill and the reception staff were very helpful and comforting.

This is an MGallery hotel, and it is absolutely beautiful. They take careful attention to details, such as robes, slippers, frankincense and aloe shampoos and body washes. Every detail is well thought out. There are three restaurants within the hotel, and they are all elegant and impressive. We look forward to our next visit.
