There is nothing luxury or 5 star about this hotel. Rooms are dirty and if you stay in the tower, very very musty. The smoke detector went off in our room and the firefighter commented that it was due to cobwebs in the sprinkler sensor. While the breakfast is good and the views lovely, I would not recommend this hotel. Especially if you are expecting a true 5 star experience.

Overall, this is a decent hotel with some really good amenities, particularly the pool, which was excellent. Unfortunately, we felt we got unlucky with the room we were allocated — Room 201, which is designed for wheelchair-accessible guests. I completely appreciate the importance of accessible rooms, and the bathroom is clearly very well designed for guests who require those facilities. However, being 6 ft 2, having almost everything positioned at a much lower level was uncomfortable and impractical. There was also no storage or shelving in the bathroom for toiletries, meaning we had to keep them near the fridge area and walk back and forth to retrieve them. The roll-in shower was another issue, with water spreading across the bathroom and towards the room. We ended up having to sacrifice a towel to stop water entering the bedroom area. Cleanliness was also disappointing. The room was quite dusty, and we found no less than 10 random long hairs on the bedding and lounge areas, seemingly left behind by previous guests. The hotel itself has plenty going for it and the facilities are good. Unfortunately, our experience was let down by the layout and cleanliness of Room 201. Overall, it’s a decent hotel — we just unfortunately got unlucky with our room.
