The hotel design supposed to be creative but it is very inconvenient, the toilet seat being practically a hole in the marble, everytime you want to use it is problematic, no one wants to set on a cold marble. The noise of the upper floor it felt like inside the room. Aside that the price of the hotel given all these issues, no value for money.

I was so disappointed with this hotel. It purports to be a 5 star hotel and I was certainly paying a rate commensurate with that but it simply isn’t of a high enough standard to deserve a 5 star rating. From staff arguing with each other in front of us to being denied entry to the bar because it was too busy; there simply isn’t enough room for me to list their faults here, which essentially come down to a lack of attention to detail and care but if the management want to write to me I will give them the full list.
