“Not value for money, good location but a poor breakfast and overall experience and stay”
The room was spacious – I stayed in the classic Room with a king bed, complete with a fridge, wardrobe, table, chair, sofa chair and plenty of room, so no complaints there. The bathroom had a walk‑in shower, toilet and sink; it’s not huge but functional. Walking to everything was easy even with a 15‑month‑old and a pram, and the lift worked fine. The rooms were quiet and the bed was large enough, though the pillows were very poor. We spent a long weekend in September for a family event (2 adults and our 15‑month‑old) and chose this hotel because of its location, luxury reputation and global brand. We called 3–5 months ahead to confirm dairy‑free breakfast options for our child’s allergies and that we don’t drink alcohol. Despite receiving confirmation, those arrangements weren’t honoured. The accessible entrance wouldn’t open after several attempts, leaving us juggling a pram, toddler and three suitcases after a long immigration queue, and the issue was dismissed. An alcohol bottle was found in our room even though we had explicitly requested none for religious reasons; the night receptionist was dismissive when we explained. The bed was spacious but the pillows offered no support and were extremely uncomfortable, a let‑down compared to other Sheraton hotels. Breakfast was the worst we’ve had on our travels: almost no dairy‑free options, food ran out while service hours remained, plates were scarce, fruit was poor and the omelette was burnt. We struggled to find seating, had to bring our own high chair and waited an hour for tea that never arrived; staff needed repeated prompting to replenish food. The manager was the only one who listened, apologized and swapped the alcohol for soft drinks, but the dietary issue stayed unresolved. Overall, the hotel fell far below the standards of a luxury international brand. With the high price, poor service, inadequate breakfast and failure to honour agreements made months in advance, it was extremely disappointing and poor value for money. I would struggle to recommend it.
