I booked a high-end room. When I got to the hotel they put me in a basic room. They told me Expedia made an error and double booked the room and someone was already in my room. After multiple chats with Expedia nothing could be done. The hotel refused to honor a partial refund for the room I never received. I'm more upset with Expedia as I paid them and expected them to provide support.

Great location. Great breakfast. Great people. Shakira and Shady really care about the hotel as it was their own. Very fast and genuine service. Also, don't forget to check out the roof top bar. Sam provides excellent 5 star service.

The hotel was amazing. I had a good stay and everything surrounding is easily accessible. The Hotel Rooftop is Amazing! However Expedia needs to communicate the booking to the hotel quicker as I arrived and they had no knowledge of my fully paid booking. Only after really searching did the hotel find it. It really dampened my arrival spirits but otherwise all was well.

Stay was ok generally speaking
Generally speaking OK Staff really friendly at the reception Close to supermarkets and restaurants Close to market Bed quality was ok 5min car to victoria harbour Fresh bottles of water given on daily basis Wifi was ok Points needing improvement: Bedsheets not changed on regular basis. Breakfast minimalist - not the freshest croissants, hot food limited choice AC didnt work No international channels on TV + remotes system complicated

great service, AMAZING ROOFTOP!
Really amazing staff and it's a great price for what you get. DON'T LEAVE WITHOUT CHECKING OUT THE ROOFTOP! It's really amazing up there and has awesome views. Location was nice as well...wasn't crazy about the room itself- strange lay out, views to a parking lot, but the shower was one of the best showers I had during my travel- possibly THE BEST, and the blowdryer they provide was also the best.
