Staff were pretty disorganised and unwelcoming. Arrived from Australia in the morning and after a 30 hr flight were not very accomodating. Room was clean but bathroom layout wasn’t great as water would build up from the shower constantly. Hard to get to the roof with specific dress codes, however they serve martini’s in plastic glasses. The hotel feels slightly confused - trying to provide a certain experience on a low budget. Something about it doesn’t quite work.
