How
this
is
rated
a
5-star
hotel,
I
do
not
know.
Upon
arrival,
the
bed
sheets
and
upholstered
furniture
smelt
musty
and
felt
damp.
We
switched
the
air
con
on
and
hoped
that
would
help.
When
we
returned
to
the
room
after
a
couple
hours
and
the
whole
room
had
a
damp,
musty
smell
(the
candle
they’d
hidden
under
the
luggage
rack
had
blown
out
to
reveal
the
actual
smell
of
the
room).
When
we
opened
the
guest
information
book
it
was
covered
in
patches
of
mould,
and
then,
after
hanging
our
clothes
up
a
couple
hours
earlier,
discovered
that
the
wardrobe,
too,
had
patches
of
mould
around
the
bottom.
A
massive
health
issue,
especially
for
those
with
respiratory
problems,
and
just
plain
unacceptable
for
a
so-called
‘luxury’
hotel.
We
went
down
to
reception
and
explained
the
issue,
yet
they
*seemed*
to
be
unaware
of
any
such
issues
as
damp.
The
member
of
staff
didn’t
apologise,
he
just
asked
if
we
wanted
to
change
rooms
and
spent
a
while
talking
on
the
phone
and
with
colleagues
trying
to
arrange
it.
We
were
moved
to
a
smaller
room,
despite
the
inconvenience
caused
by
moving
in
the
first
place
because
of
an
issue
that
was
not
our
fault.
Again,
the
room
was
damp.
It
was
late
at
night
so
we
had
little
choice
but
to
stay
in
the
room
-
plus
it
seemed
like
every
room
would
have
the
same
issue
by
this
point.
We
asked
for
a
dehumidifier
in
the
morning,
but
again
they
acted
as
though
they
didn’t
understand
our
request
or
the
issue
we
were
addressing.
However,
funnily
enough,
a
few
hours
later
upon
our
return
from
an
excursion,
huge
dehumidifier
machine
was
running
in
our
room
-
the
water
tank
already
full.
What
further
consolidates
this
is
that
we
actually
joined
two
family
members
at
this
hotel
who,
upon
us
telling
them
we
would
have
to
move
rooms
because
of
damp,
told
us
that
they
also
had
to
move
rooms
because
of
issues
with
damp
(their
second
room
already
had
a
dehumidifier
in
it!).
This
proves
that
the
hotel
DOES
in
fact
know
there
is
a
damp
problem,
but
made
us
feel
like
we
were
the
first
people
to
ever
mention
it
when
we
addressed
them.
(I
can
now
see
from
other
reviews
that
we
were
indeed
not
the
first
people
to
experience
these
issues.)
When
contacting
Agoda
regarding
the
issues
faced
during
our
stay,
the
hotel
responded
that
we
had
never
addressed
the
issue
with
the
hotel
directly…
a
complete
and
utter
lie
considering
we
had
to
change
rooms
and
make
requests
for
a
dehumidifier!
I
would
definitely
avoid
this
hotel
and
find
somewhere
else
that
isn’t
full
of
damp
and
mould…
I
have
attached
photos
to
exemplify
all
of
this
so
that
others
can
make
a
more
informed
decision.
