Don’t be fooled by the “5 stars” marketing. Nothing about the hotel is 5 stars, but their bad customer service. Do not waste your money at this hotel. 1. When we had our first breakfast at the hotel at 8:30am. There was no sight of host/hostess/attendant at the front host stand to check you in because they were all busy in the back corner where the bar area is chitchatting and lounging around having a great time. We then approached them to see if we can get a table, they just stared at us and gave a very indifferent response telling us to sit wherever, and carried on with their conversations. It was such a bizarre experience, let alone with the lack of dining service, literally anyone who isn’t a hotel guest can basically just walk in and sit themselves down for a free meal at this point. 2. The breakfast buffet, nothing was warm from the hot food section, the coffee tasted really weird, the fruits section and some other section were running low and no one refilled anything. We thought maybe it was just maybe an off day for the F&B team, but no, the rest of the next two mornings as well. The breakfast buffet experience were consistently bad throughout with the exact same issues. 3. On the 2nd day when we returned to our room, we noticed right the way the AC had stopped working (which the first night it made a lot of weird noises). We notified the staff, she said she will send the technician (which never came) and I had to go downstairs to remind them again. When he finally arrived which took 40 mins, he didn’t even do anything but holding a screwdriver and just put his left hand up to feel the air. He then tried to fool us by saying the AC is working normal. But who are you kidding it was only blowing hot air, and the digital indicator even has an error message flashing. We then requested a room change, it was challenging, as if the one of the receptionists that was on duty was just being difficult. This is nothing I have experienced, they took it as if I was lying that the room’s AC is not working. After technician’s confirmation that is not working she had us waiting in the lobby for 20 minutes. It would have been nice to be offered even a glass of cold water or something, as they can clearly see the weather that day was at 36°C and we had came back to the hotel from a beach day where we both are badly burnt by the sun. Overall, just an unpleasant stay. Definitely would not recommend the hotel, especially it’s marketed as 5 stars, if I really have to say, it’s more like a 3.5 with how unfriendly/crappy/lack of customer service skills of the staffs are, and the F&B were just bad icing on a bad cake. The location of the hotel is just ok, as it’s a 20 mins walk from the busy area Riva that’s about it.
