Mixed Service, Maintenance Issues
55%
Low confidence.
Based on 115 detailed reviews.
Score-only reviews are excluded.

While many guests praise the location, staff, and rooftop amenities, recurring issues with mold in bathrooms, significant noise from traffic and trains, and one serious allegation of deposit fraud prevent a confident recommendation. The hotel appears to need maintenance updates and better soundproofing to match its 5-star aspirations.

Hotel demanded deposit upon arrival and never refunded it despite promises

This stay would have perfect is the hotel had refunded the 'deposit' they demanded off me upon arrival. I have contacted them and booking.com and received nothing. The hotel even stated they would refund it, and they haven't. Lies and usual scam

The noisy street below the hotel and the French windows of the room that don't seem to close well and are not double glazed. Street noise never ceases

No sound insulation in rooms. Other guests slamming doors and talking loudly outside the door were very disruptive
