Needs some improvement

Location was great for my needs but room was tired, with lots of carpet stains, curtain failling down at one end and big stain on window. TV also wouldn't turn on and reception didn't answer call when I tried to report on check-in - I was told it may have been an issue with phones on check-out. Breakfast was ok but not great. Staff were friendly but I wouldn't rush back.

Good and bad

The room was beautiful but there was a few issues, the bed was really hard and we hardly slept. The room was absolutely boiling and the fan we had was just blowing out hot air, also the in the shower couldn’t stay in long as the water was starting to overflow onto the floor but apart from that we did have lovely time.

Do not stay here

How this can be rented as a hotel room, when there is a massive party venue above the bedrooms is beyond me. The hotel has rooms on 23rd and 24th floor, but the 25th seems to be an event space. We got back to our room at 10:30pm and could barely speak to each other in our room on the 24th floor because of the sound from above. It was a suite as well so not cheap! We went downstairs and demanded a refund and was surprised when the hotel staff seemed to agree that nobody could sleep there! Room was clean enough but carpets throughout the hotel were grubby and all in all not a nice experience.

Loved the amount of windows in the room. The room was clean and tidy. Was disappointed with the state of the hall carpet. This is your first impression and wasn't good. Also had to wait a while for reception staff to appear although they were very nice and extremely helpful when they came.

Upon arrival there is no friendly welcome from reception as there was no one there. The room was large but 29 degrees and you have zero control over your room temperature, there is a broken panel on the wall and "reception" controls the temperature. Housekeeping told me to use a very large and loud fan to cool the room down. Fell asleep and the. Woke up at 3 am freezing cold. I do not recommend this joke of a hotel and won't be returning.
