8/10 Good
"Lovely hotel, staff were all amazing from start to end. Our 3 bedroom suite was recently refreshed as you could still smell the paint. The breakfast was lovely. Plenty of options and it all tasted great. The pool area was always clean and tidy. Staff were always available if we needed anything. There were renovations going on which we weren’t informed of until we reached our room. The noise was not enjoyable but we didn’t spend much time in the room during the day for it to disturb us too much. If anyone was working in their room it would have been frustrating. The staff were very accommodating and welcoming plus the location is great for exploring the city. We would highly recommend this accommodation and would consider returning."

"Incredible hotel as expected. Dining was expansive and delicious, staff in the restaurant were fantastic also. Check-in was friendly and kind, we were offered an upgrade for a small extra charge which we opted for. We were also able to get late check out for no charge which was very helpful and impressive. The horizon lounge was great, very good food and cocktails and the views were beautiful. Room was large and luxurious, my only slight downside is cleanliness wasn't 100%, there was dust and hairs on some of the fixtures and lightswitches etc. The hotel is in a very busy area, despite being on the 31st floor we could hear music and base coming from a party location nearby up until 4am on one of the nights."
