Staff on reception were great and the room was clean and very comfortable. Food wasn’t great in the restaurant or room service and waiting staff were rude and unhelpful in both the rooftop bar and ground floor restaurant. Overall- great to stay but eat elsewhere 😊

It was the most space efficient room I have ever stayed in. Spotlessly clean. Great shower.
