6/10 Good

This grand old lady is now just OLD.
Was very disappointed with this hotel from the word go despite having a fantastic stay here over a decade ago. The room i had was old, very shabby, the air con was faulty, the bathroom sink was rimmed with mould, the toilet stopped flushing, the sheets had food stains, the lobby was outdated and it was as hot and stuffy as the elevators. We booked 4 rooms and one friend had no air con her room was a furnace and completely lost power so had terrible first night so they kindly upgraded her. Same thing happened to me the next night, was told by the maintenance man at 11pm i needed to move, pack my stuff and await a call from reception so hurriedly stuffed everything into cases but by 3am still hadnt heard a thing and was told they had no idea about situation. Had to go down myself after a restless night and told i couldnt get a new room until after 12 .They kindly upgraded me too so very happy to have air con but new room was very nice in comparison with old one but very basic except for the great walk in wardrobe.This is NOT a 5 star hotel anymore, once renovations are complete it will be a decent 3 star business hotel with an amazing pool. Very sad to see its decline but the staff were LOVELY and really tried their best. Ensure you request a room from lvl 28 down, every above is unrenovated. Still a great pool but Room service all vegetarian which is fine but no longer 24 hr and i missed my 1am club sandwich! Hope the future is brighter here. Thank you to the great staff x
