“An old hotel that has not aged well”
I stayed close to the event I was attending, and the room I received was a decent size, newly renovated, with a good layout, a mini‑fridge, and a safety deposit box. Most of the staff were friendly—the doormen helped call taxis, the waiters were attentive, and housekeeping was efficient. The hotel is old and hasn’t been kept up well; the hallways had a strong unpleasant odor, and my room had mold on the wall—cleaning alone won’t fix that. The tiny vintage elevator moved slowly, the window‑type air‑con had a broken thermostat dial so the fan stayed on high, and when I asked for a 1:00 PM late check‑out twice, the front desk was slow to confirm. I eventually caught an earlier ferry, so the late check‑out wasn’t needed, but waiting at reception for a simple request was annoying.
