Under renovation but nice

This Hilton was great. Although nowhere near as pretty as the pictures since it's undergoing renovation but that's alright. Beds were super comfortable and the room was spacious.

Good location, that's about it.

Hotel was ok, service was hit and miss. Miss more often than hit to be fair. Water wasn't replaced in the rooms when it was turned over. Issue with payment for room service not being detected which resulted in me having to go down to the bar at 10pm to prove I'd paid. Long queue to get breakfast do to understaffing. Hotel is in a great location but if your looking for a traditional grand building this isn't it. You'll struggle find an original feature.

So much potential but needs adjustments

The beautiful hotel is in an excellent location. There is a lot of construction, which would have been nice to know before booking. It hindered the overall ambiance and view from our room. We had two rooms, both with two beds. The first room was large and beautiful, however, the room did not cook well. The second room (right next door) was smaller, had tears in both headboards, and smelled of mildew. In addition, the hair dryer was missing the motor cover and sucked in one of our guests hair, resulting in her having to cut the hair loose to remove it. The pillows and mattresses are sub par. The breakfast was a feast and very delicious.

Decent 4 star. Room had a good view. Hotel undergoing works but didn’t inconvenience too much other than using stairwell rather than waiting for the lift. This could have been a nuisance if we were on a higher floor.
