Let me start by saying I stay in a lot of hotels as I travel with my job and my family. I rarely leave review but feel compelled to share my experience for others that might choose this hotel because it’s is not suitable for families at all! ||Our experience started well, being accommodated an earlier check at 12:30 when we had a 3pm checkin time was really great as we stepped off a long flight at 7am. ||On arrival to our room, we were incredibly disappointed. For context, I’m a mum travelling with two teenage boys in what was described as a triple room however the 3rd bed is not a proper bed, it’s a pull out, not ok for a 13 year old to sleep on for 6 nights. There is no storage in the entire room, there is no wardrobe (literally 6 knobs and hangers, that is it!) and no space to move so we needed the sofa area where the pull out was located to put our cases. So we ended up having to share two single beds between the 3 of us. ||The Bathroom is smaller than a cruise ship and it has half bath with the shower inside so it’s a very high step in. If you are not able bodied, stepping up and in to the tub would be hard! Again no storage just a tiny shelf just about big enough for a small toiletries bag. ||Room aside, the breakfast was important for us as my kids can eat, unfortunately the breakfast jere is appalling. It is probably the worst I’ve experienced in a city hotel that is 3/4 star. There was nothing appetising that we could eat and a request for eggs cooked for my children was turned down. They offer scrambled eggs but they are cooked with something I can’t put my finger on (probably milk and I’m intolerant) and not warm enough to eat. The sausages are hot dog type out of a can and the fruit cocktail is also from a can. They had small chunks of grapefruit and orange segments but all cut with the skin on which seems a little odd. They offer granola but it’s a mix of puffed rice and other stuff but no granola in it. The only thing I could eat was the croissants and sourdough toast. For 6 days this is not acceptable. I’m sure the local food was great but if you’re a westerner not wanting to eat miso soup, vegetables and noodles for breakfast then this is not a good place to start your day. ||In addition to this, I’ve never in my life been refused a take out of breakfast as we didn’t have time to eat on one day as we had a 7am collection for a trip. I asked if we could take some croissants for the kids to eat in the car and was refused! ||The pool and sauna area is not mixed, males snd females must go separately and you are not allowed to wear clothes!! Yes you read that correctly, you must be naked. I’m sorry but sending my 2 teenage sons into a pool area with other men naked is not acceptable. I appreciate this might be cultural but be respectful of those that do not wish to bath with no clothes and allow them their privacy. ||We were told if we don’t put the “make up our room” sticker on the door then we would get an eco change of just towels etc which was fine for us. On the two days I left the sticker out for a full clean, nothing was done. No bed change, no clean cups, no bathrooms clean, nothing. ||I would not recommend this hotel and still have two more nights of staying here and frankly I can’t wait to leave and move to our next hotel.
