Reviews and Ratings
I was a bit disappointed with the hotel. The rooms did not come with breakfast, and we had to wait about an hour past check-in time before they were ready, making me feel a bit frustrated. The rooms had a strong smell of smoke and were of low standard, yet surprisingly, they were very comfortable.
The hotel had some issues with cleanliness and amenities, but the staff were friendly and the location was convenient for our plans. The dining experience was hit or miss, with some positives but also some areas for improvement.
My stay at the hotel was great overall. The rooms were modern and clean, which was very nice. However, I experienced some noise from the activities below the executive lounge, which was a bit disruptive. The service was fantastic, especially when they helped me plan a surprise setup for my wife. The location was good, close to major markets and within walking distance to the Victorian markets. The dining options, although disorganized, were notably superior in quality. The facilities were on point and punctual, making my stay comfortable.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but there were some issues with the service and location. The dining options were good, but the facilities left something to be desired.
The hotel had some drawbacks like cleanliness issues in the rooms and a slight odor, but the location was convenient for accessing the ICC and offered a quiet setting after business hours. The dining experience was praised for its divine flavors but lacked options for specific dietary requirements. Overall, the facilities were adequate but with room for improvement.
My stay at the Hilton was quite comfortable and pleasant, with spacious rooms that easily accommodated two people. However, the room was a bit cold, and additional bedding would have been appreciated.
The hotel offers a lovely view of the sea, cricket ground, and football stadium from its rooms, making the stay enjoyable. The service was friendly and professional, although there were some instances of arrogance. The location is convenient for both work conventions and exploring nearby attractions. Overall, the facilities were satisfactory.
I had a fantastic stay at the hotel. The rooms were quiet with no outside noise, which was a bonus as I was preparing for a court hearing the next day. The executive lounge was huge with a beautiful view of the stadium and beach. The service was efficient during breakfast, and the staff made me and my family feel safe and welcome. The location was just right for my needs, and the dining experience was marvelous with a variety of international English breakfast options.
The hotel room was quiet, with no outside noise, which was ideal for preparing for a court hearing the next day. The room was clean and the staff was friendly. However, there were some issues with poor maintenance and unavailable maintenance staff.
The hotel boasts spacious rooms with a good height overlooking the city, though check-in was delayed until 5pm. The service was helpful, except for some intimidating encounters with bellhops. The location is neat, clean, and airy, in the center of town, close to major attractions. Dining has improved with a good variety of options, but some areas like the maharani are slightly disorganized.
I had a great ocean view from my room on the 9th floor, and the hotel is quite spacious which I loved. However, not having pens, long queues for breakfast, and no free Wi-Fi, despite my pre-booking request, was disappointing.
The hotel is conveniently located near the convention center and a short walk to the beach. The rooms are comfortable, but there was an issue with a broken security latch. The dining experience was exceptional with a spread of delicious sandwiches and pastries. Service was professional but could be more helpful at times.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The location was excellent, but the room allocated to me, which had a connection to another room, was too hot and lacked a mini bar. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the service was good overall, although the breakfast options were limited. While the facilities were decent, the dining experience left much to be desired. The value for money was reasonable considering the amenities provided.
The hotel offers spacious rooms with attentive housekeeping, but lacks in-room amenities like pens and free Wi-Fi. The breakfast experience involves long queues, and the restaurant service could be improved.
The hotel has lovely rooms that were nicely decorated with rose petals to celebrate my husband's birthday, but there was a persistent ashtray smell despite attempts to freshen up. The service was very professional and friendly, with a willingness to assist in various aspects. The location had some issues, especially for new drivers, but the surroundings were neat and clean overall. The dining experience was a mix of delightful and disappointing, and the facilities offered a pleasant stay overall.
