Room was not ready at check-in time. Horrific construction noise in the lobby made it impossible to talk to the front desk staff. The elevator was very noisy, keeping us awake until very late. After making a reservation we were surprised to learn the Bombay Brasserie was far away from the hotel. All of these things diminished our experience at this otherwise fabulous hotel.

This hotel could be a 5 star hotel if they just make a few tweaks as listed below. 1. Front Desk/Reception Area - Professional and courteous but a little slow in dealing with clients. 2. Late night food/snacks should be further catered to a more international/American clientele, although the hotel is Indian owned. 3. Lack of notification and actual hot water availability for two nights. Hotel should reach out to clients on such issues that affect us all as clients. Otherwise, a fantastic hotel with excellent five star Indian-themed food/drinks, staff, and location!

Fantastic hotel location; disappointing facilities and service despite the high room cost. The Sunday buffet brunch was an expensive choice that did not deliver at all on service or atmosphere. Almost 200e for 2 omlettes and mimosa's. Unorganized, erratic service even though the overworked servers were trying. The front desk promised to call when the room was ready- they did not. When we returned after 330 pm, the new agent told us the room had been ready for over an hour. No apology for not following the note to call when room was ready. One of the 2 elevators was not working; this made for long wait times each trip to and from the room. Our floor had plastic covering the hall carpet that made rolling suitcases challenging. There was no security latch on the door even though there was a sign announcing one. The room overall was comfortable and clean despite the hallway and latch issues. The bell staff was helpful with luggage storage and tips for sightseeing. The highlight of the stay was dinner in The Ming restaurant, which both quality of food and service was exceptional.

Breakfast - hit & miss

Hotel was fine & would stay again, however, be prepared for the chaos at breakfast, fortunately we were not under any time pressure but if you are then you may have to give breakfast a miss. You could be waiting 15 minutes or more to get seated & then service for coffee can take a while.
