9/10 Wonderful! (1,942 reviews)

Staff was helpful, polite and courteous, the hotel entrance looks stunning, reminiscent to the old world, but the room we received showed the age of the hotel (102 years old !) It was definitely not a room in a 4* hotel. It looked run down, used and smelly. The bathroom was so small that a toilet flush box could not even fit in there. It was a big disappointment. Maybe a 3 star or less.
