We
stayed
early
2023.
Congratulations
on
the
design..
I
think?
Whilst
it
looks
snazzy
in
the
adverts,
having
a
glass-walled
bathroom
is
impractical
for
anyone
except
a
romantic
couple,
or
indeed
also
for
a
romantic
couple
who
might
wish
to
shower
privately.
The
photogenic
bathrooms
flood,
surprisingly
deep
and
very
quickly.
When
you
request
assistance
you’ll
be
told
maintenance
is
only
available
10-4pm,
regardless
of
when
you
arrive,
no
alternatives
are
offered.
We
were
lucky
and
had
a
room
on
the
outside
of
the
building-
those
opposite
us
only
had
windows
facing
into
the
interior
corridors
of
the
building
so
would
be
relaxing
whilst
the
neighbours
walked
past
at
eye
level
or
have
to
sit
in
darkness.
Not
ideal.
The
rooftop
bar
is
only
open
a
handful
of
nights
per
week
and
closes
early,
without
warning
(so
much
for
a
nightcap).
The
rooftop
pool
is
genuinely
smaller
than
my
nephew’s
inflatable
paddling
pool.
The
breakfast
is
a
rather
odd
mixture
of
“tasters”
of
European
styles
which
seemed
to
upset
everybody,
as
nobody
really
had
what
they
were
looking
for.
Everything
was
cheap
quality,
generally
poorly
executed
and
left
a
lot
to
be
desired.
No
a
la
carte
option,
it’s
all
a
self-service
buffet
and,
frankly,
queuing
up
for
warm
Frosties
behind
legions
of
grumpy
middle-aged
men
with
their
toes
out
at
8am
doesn’t
really
scream
*four
star*
to
me.
There
was
zero
fresh
coffee,
just
a
nespresso
pod
machine
which
the
staff
seemed
to
think
was
the
height
of
sophistication
and
frequently
ran
out
of
water/
milk/
the
will
to
live.
The
“restaurant”
is
only
open
for
breakfast
as
it
seems
they
can’t
draw
the
clientele
for
dinner.
No
room
service
either.
The
lifts
are
incredibly
slow
and
small,
and
regularly
break
down
(with
guests
trapped
inside
them).
More
than
anything
though,
the
problem
was
the
absolute
apathy
of
a
painfully
superior
team.
We
were
only
sporadically
greeted
by
reception,
but
there
was
never
a
“have
you
had
a
nice
day”,
“would
you
like
a
restaurant
recommendation”,
“how
is
your
room”,
nothing.
There
was
so
little
care
or
attention
paid
we
often
wondered
if
they’d
actually
be
able
to
tell
a
trespasser
from
a
guest;
we
were
consistently
sneered
at,
dismissed,
ignored
and
generally
treated
like
a
pair
of
ruffians
wasting
everybody’s
time.
It
was
grim.
When
I
think
of
all
the
wonderful
stays
I’ve
had
all
over
Europe
in
a
similar
price
range,
m
and
marketed
as
four
star
service,
it’s
honestly
laughable.
If
the
team
truly
believe
they
are
above
their
guests
then
management
needs
to
hold
some
serious
conversations
about
brand
ID;
this
lazy,
passive-aggressive,
disgruntled
and
inconvenienced
style
of
service
shames
the
bright,
engaged
and
hardworking
local
hospitality
culture
and
it
will
certainly
not
build
or
maintain
a
reputation
worth
having.
The
only
person
to
truly
smile
at
us
and
offer
warmth
and
kindness
was
the
cleaner;
and
I
dread
to
think
what
she
deals
with
since
she
begged
us
not
to
tell
anyone
she’d
helped
us
with
the
flood.
We
absolutely
won’t
be
staying
again,
but
the
city
was
just
delightful.
