IMPORTANT
NOTE:
This
report
refers
to
a
stay
in
November
2023.
The
hotel
is
currently
being
renovated.
Most
of
the
public
areas
have
already
been
renovated.
The
rooms
in
the
"East
Wing",
the
larger
of
the
two
parts
of
the
hotel,
are
currently
being
renovated.
This
is
expected
to
last
until
mid-2024,
after
which
the
rooms
in
the
other
wing
will
probably
follow.
Please
note
that
our
comments
on
the
rooms
will
no
longer
be
up
to
date
at
some
point!
The
hotel
is
located
at
a
crossroads
next
to
multi-lane,
busy
roads.
Unfortunately,
the
windows
of
the
rooms
are
not
soundproofed.
For
this
reason,
you
can
hear
the
traffic
noise
very
strongly
in
the
rooms.
Several
stores
(Seven
11,
pharmacy,
dry
cleaners,
exchange
office)
and
restaurants
are
within
walking
distance.
There
are
two
shopping
centers
that
can
be
reached
on
foot
in
just
under
15
minutes.
Both
are
rather
simple
local
malls
with
stores,
pharmacies,
restaurants
and
(in
one
of
them)
a
supermarket.
Two
elevated
train
stations
are
also
a
good
10-minute
walk
away.
Other
than
that,
there
isn't
really
much
around
the
hotel.
The
staff
are
consistently
friendly
and
very
attentive
to
the
guest.
We
felt
very
welcome.
However,
there
is
a
lack
of
polish
in
the
service.
It's
about
little
things
and
not
really
bad
things.
At
this
point,
we
would
like
to
highlight
two
members
of
staff
in
particular.
That
would
be
Arafat
from
the
Executive
Lounge.
He
always
went
out
of
his
way
to
make
sure
we
had
a
good
time
in
the
lounge.
And
Fathima,
who
was
responsible
for
our
room
most
of
the
time.
She
was
always
available
for
a
quick
chat.
She
always
provided
us
with
enough
water
and
towels.
But
the
other
colleagues
and
the
colleague
from
housekeeping
also
did
a
really
good
job.
The
breakfast
was
also
extensive
and
good,
as
was
everything
else
we
enjoyed
during
our
stay.
But
now
to
the
downsides,
which
ultimately
lead
us
to
award
only
3*!
As
already
mentioned,
the
hotel
is
currently
undergoing
a
thorough
refurbishment.
The
rooms
also
need
it.
Everything
still
works.
However,
it
smelled
very
musty
in
our
room.
It
wasn't
moldy.
But
this
musty
smell
was
a
constant
companion,
which
even
permeated
our
clothes.
We
even
had
to
change
rooms
at
the
very
beginning
as
the
musty
smell
was
even
stronger
in
the
first
room.
We
therefore
assume
that
this
problem
affects
almost
all
rooms.
Due
to
our
status
with
Hilton,
we
had
access
to
the
Executive
Lounge.
This
was
located
in
the
already
renovated
part
due
to
the
renovation.
This
temporary
solution
was
really
good
in
terms
of
space.
However,
it
was
so
freezing
cold
in
the
location
that
it
was
impossible
to
enjoy
a
stay
there.
You
could
see
exactly
who
had
been
there
for
a
while.
You
could
recognize
these
guests
by
their
long
clothing.
Unfortunately,
the
situation
did
not
improve
during
our
entire
stay.
The
management
was
aware
of
the
problem,
but
the
company
responsible
took
longer
to
rectify
it.
We
would
have
liked
to
see
at
least
some
communication
from
the
management
on
this
matter.
But
nothing
came
of
it.
A
more
creative
solution
might
also
have
been
possible.
For
example,
the
use
of
part
of
the
lobby.
It
was
also
strange
that
we
were
told
that
the
pool
was
closed
for
renovation.
However,
we
occasionally
saw
people
swimming
in
it.
Would
we
come
back?
Yes,
maybe.
Because
in
terms
of
price,
the
hotel
was
a
good
deal.
And
now
that
the
complete
renovation
has
been
completed
and
the
team
has
perhaps
been
trained
a
little,
the
hotel
has
the
potential
to
be
a
5*.
