Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was quite a mixed experience. On the positive side, the rooms were super clean and comfortable, making for a good night's sleep. However, the service was a bit lacking, with staff seeming more interested in their phones than attending to guests. The location was excellent, central to many attractions, but the dining experience left a lot to be desired. Overall, a decent stay with some shortcomings.
I had a mixed experience staying at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and very comfortable, although the layout with the shower in the room was a bit different for me. The cleanliness was top-notch, and the food served was delicious.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel, located in a safe and secure area with plenty of nearby shops and restaurants. The rooms were elegantly furnished and offered a view of the pool, although a bit on the smaller side. The service was professional and friendly, making my Christmas stay enjoyable. The dining options were varied, satisfying my requirements with ease. However, the dining staff seemed a bit overwhelmed during breakfast service. The facilities were well-maintained, providing a comfortable and convenient experience overall.
The hotel has a modern and elegant black & white style, albeit facing a construction site. The rooms come with their own television and a cozy sofa setup with elegant aluminum tables. However, the price for some services may not align with the quality.
The hotel had spacious and very comfortable rooms, but the fully open bathroom layout lacked privacy. The service was exceptional, with attentive and helpful staff. The location was perfect, situated in an upscale gated community with easy access to shopping and fantastic restaurants. The dining experience was ordinary, lacking variety in choices.
My stay at this hotel was a mix of pleasant and not-so-great experiences. The rooms, while clean and beautiful, had a bad smell when you enter, and my room overlooked construction instead of the pool as I expected. Despite these drawbacks, the rooms were comfortable and reasonably sized. The service was absolutely wonderful, with helpful staff always eager to assist. The location is fantastic, offering a safe and secure environment with plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. The dining experience, which should be included in the high price, was quite enjoyable with a great buffet and cooked-to-order eggs. The facilities were adequate, though there is room for improvement in certain areas.
I truly enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The location is superb, surrounded by trendy restaurants and bars in the beautiful Melrose Arch Precinct. The rooms were comfortable and clean, although the window didn't close properly. The service was fantastic, with friendly and attentive staff. The dining experience offered a wide variety that easily satisfied my requirements, but there was a 30-minute delay for breakfast. The facilities were top-notch, making my stay even more pleasant.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were well decorated in a trendy black & white style, but some signs of wear and tear were visible. The single beds were comfortable, but it was a bit disappointing that the window didn't close properly since it was single glazed.
Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, with their own television and elegant aluminum tables, were clean and provided amazing service. However, the corridors connecting them, though featuring large transparent windows, were a bit of a turn-off with discarded room service utensils scattered around.
Our stay at the hotel was delightful overall. The rooms were clean, tidy, and comfortable, with a lovely sofa setup and elegant aluminum tables in the corridors that were specially arranged for our wedding anniversary. The service was mixed, with some staff members being very welcoming and kind, but encountering issues with the chef not accommodating our requests without extra charges. The location in the classy and upmarket Melrose Arch area provided a beautiful setting for walks and dining options. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with some additional charges not initially expected, although the buffet and cooked-to-order eggs were enjoyable. The facilities were decent, offering a comfortable stay.
