2 out of 5

Very stingy, No tissues available, poor breakfast

Pros: The last day when I have been offered free tea while leaving.
Cons: Welcoming guests for example with free drink, put extra for the buffet breakfast such as fruit, put free water in their fridge and tissues in the room
Location: I have been before in their next neighbor hotels, I chose this hotel as it is in the same street, location is good.
No I do not recommended for friends. breakfast is not count as real open buffet very poor and no fruit. No cartsy water in the room, not welcome hospitality, e.g. no free drink or soft drink on arrival. Comparing to four star hotel is not welcoming tourist or visitors, had to walk to and use stares although i explained I have disability, had to walk far distance and stares. Not welcoming the guest, customer officer shouted at me when asked about free services.

As you mentioned, this experience is not one we're known for at our hotel, and I apologize that your breakfast wasn't up to our strict standards. I'll look into this and see how we can improve our brekfast for our future guests. But we do have seasonal fruit at buffet. Hope to see you at our hotel. Regards,
