"I needed a late checkout and was offered midday for free but, needing 18:00hrs checkout due to my work and late flight, I've been charged more than a full night's stay extra!
Anyway I went to the 8th floor bar restaurant for some lunch and was told the kitchen and bar were closed. No apology, no explanation, no alternative suggestion. This is a 5* hotel, as a reminder, any hotel above 3* is all about customer service but clearly not in this case. Not to worry I went to the 7-11 around the corner. Lovely friendly helpful staff as I was struggling with translation. A lesson for the 'so-called' 5* hotel which I've stayed at several times before but never again! To be honest I was made to feel like I was in the wrong. This isn't the staff but purely poor management leadership. Step up or accept you're barely 3*......"
"This place is very old. The whole building has a smell including our room. I understand it's an old building but wish they would have renovated the rooms and deal with the smell issue better. Probably won't stay here again."
"Overall I thought it was not worth the price. The building was old and the hotel did not keep up with time. The service was just mediocre. I asked to combine the two double beds and was right out denied. Also, there were no toiletries in the room."
"Good location.
Clean rooms, great staff.
Wifi in room seem kinda unstable; room’s TV required internet connection so it became kinda a bothersome at times.
Would be nice if gym had slightly more equipment; maybe to add at least a set or two of dumbbells. Currently it’s only two treadmills and two exercise bikes."
