If this hotel was marketed as a 4 star, I would have been a bit more legient but as a 5 star property, I felt it lacked in a few areas. The bathroom in particular felt grimy and there was visible dust in this space. We had requested twin beds but received a king. The food at the restaurant was basic pub fare at higher prices. Bed was incredibly comfortable though!

Its a beautiful hotel. The 1 bedroom suite was spacious. Staff at the front desk were lovely, especially Ash (i meed to mention her). I think breakfast options at Ostani were limited (in particular, snack options). The room was clean on entry. But the cleaning during our stay was a bit careless. The bed was poorly .made and bathroom items carlessly placed. These little things matter
