My overall stay at the hotel was actually quite pleasant, thanks largely to the excellent service and the exceptionally warm, helpful staff. Every member of the team we encountered was friendly and professional, which made the general hotel experience positive.
However, my review must focus on the Superior Suite (the most expensive category), which unfortunately was the major flaw in our trip.
1. Unacceptable Location & Ambience: Despite reserving your highest-tier suite, the room was inexplicably located on the ground floor. While the size was generous, the overall design and furnishings felt more like a basic homestay or budget apartment, lacking the premium finishes, views, and exclusive feel expected of top suite.
2. Severe Noise Issue (The Dealbreaker): The absolute biggest issue was the noise. The suite is situated directly behind the evening music hall/performance venue. The soundproofing is extremely poor, making it virtually impossible to relax or sleep in the evening due to the continuous loud music and noise before 11pm.
In summary: The hotel staff and general service deserve high praise. However, the hotel needs to urgently address the location, fit-out, and severe lack of soundproofing in this specific Superior Suite. Paying a premium price for this sub-standard accommodation significantly detracted from an otherwise good hotel experience. The seaview suite could be a better option.
