Huge and comfortable room with tacky decor. Everything was good, but the place felt a little tired. Friendly and helpful staff.

I recently stayed at this hotel, which is marketed as one of the richer or more premium 4-star options in the area. To be fair, the entrance and downstairs common areas do make a great first impression — the lobby is beautiful, and the staff are warm, attentive, and genuinely helpful. Their professionalism and friendliness gave me high hopes for the rest of the stay. However, once I stepped into the room, the experience took a noticeable downturn. The accommodation itself felt very outdated — from the worn furniture to the overall layout, it was clear that the rooms haven’t been refreshed in quite some time. There’s a sense that the space isn’t being utilised to its full potential, which is frustrating given the price point. It’s the kind of room that might have been impressive two decades ago, but now feels tired and neglected. For what the hotel is charging, I expected a much higher standard in the rooms — modern touches, better lighting, even just a feeling of comfort and freshness. Instead, the contrast between the elegant front-of-house areas and the dated rooms is so stark that it almost feels like two different hotels. It’s not the worst place I’ve stayed, and again, I can’t fault the staff — they’re doing a wonderful job with what they have. But for a hotel positioning itself at the higher end of the market, there’s a serious need for an upgrade upstairs. Until then, I’d consider exploring other options in the same price range.

Steer clear - While the staff did their best the rooms are far below a 4 star hotel. The bottom sheet on my bed didn't even fit/ the cleaners didn't bother to find one that did fit, so my feet were touching the bare mattress...I booked a queen room and was given a double bed (I'm tall and paid a higher price for a queen), the sheets were stained in places and smelled like the inside of an Indian restaurant. While the website and foyer give the illusion of a nice hotel this place is far from it!!
