Like my title suggests - front desk staff are extremely foolish and immature. They do not understand any foreign language (english included), forget about listening to your concerns. I travelled with my family and booked 2 rooms thinking it was a relatively new hotel and will be accomodative or atleast cordial enough towards its guests. We got the worst choice... More

the hotel is a very opulent one in terms of decoration. the staff does it's best but management seem very poor. Good for a business trip where you only come to sleep. i do not recommend as price/value is not good.

Wow! Have just stayed here and it took 30 minutes for me to be checked in. I saw 2 people in front of me leave angrily due to the amount of time and no communication from check in staff. They had no idea what they were doing and were very rude when anybody asked any questions. Rooms are nice and... More

I had booked directly through the hotel 1.5 weeks prior to arrival so we showed the confirmation email via an iPhone. The manager... More

Check in took nearly 45 minutes and Check out was about the same with one of the staff most rude and unhelpful. Also our room was... More

For a new hotel I expected it to have a few hiccups, not as many as I received. We arrived in our car to be told they didn't have valet service so had to park it ourself. On arrival to reception I noticed 2 members of staff, a female attending to 3 different customers without eye contact and a male... More
