Hotel was good but not great for a QT. That said it was decent value for money. Good beds and food but room overall is just not as refined as other QT hotels.

Overall it was fine. The bathroom sink was clogged so water easily overflowed. We ordered buffet breakfast but when we got there, it wasn’t available and ended being off the menu.

Does not have the same vibe as other QT properties both in the aspect of room and especially with service that was lacking throughout the stay. Amenities and mini bar were not restocked over the 3 night stay. Staffing also seemed to be extremely minimal.

Staff understood our issues and did what they could to sort them. NO VENTILATION in the bathroom!!! That is a health breach! Curtains falling off the rails and missing hooks, Not so bad. Air con was off or freezing, nothing in between possible The WORST was VERY LOUD PARTIES on NUMEROUS floors, noise travelling throughout the building, either this is a hotel catering for guests who want to chill out or its a party animal venue. You decide if you would stay there.
