Birthday Break Away
Basic room, bathroom shower head didnt move, tray didnt empty. Taps tarnished so looked dirty. Bedside lamps in wrong place headbutted it every time we got into bed and beds sank. Room seemes very dated, but hotel being revamped shame not room Me and my daughter stayed in for our birthday break away. Lifts are very slow, small and always full. With 11 floors 3 working lifts is clearly not enough. Staff all polite, bed made each night and clean towels and cups everyday.

Good generally. The lifts, however, were most unfriendly, with queues and subsequent crushes on most occasions. A few other niggles: -Bedroom and bathroom size rather miserly and we felt uncomfortably squashed. Both would benefit from an extra 12 inches (25cms) in both width and length. Thankfully there was a reasonably sized sitting area. - TV reception was awful, particularly in the bedroom where the TV was not watchable. - Some missing items that one might expect in superior room, eg tissues, something to stir teas/coffees with, instructions re air conditioning unit, information about the hotel facilities. Why is information so sparse about the 2nd dining room, ie the VQ? There was no promotional material in the room and signage in the public area is not at all prominent. Only when we were refused a discount for breakfast in the Cucina (where the lady on the door made no mention of an alternative) did we revert to the main reception staff and were told that there was another one. This is a great pity because the breakfast in the VQ was first class, both in the standard of the fare and the service. It deserves proper recognition.

Its a reasonably priced hotel in a central area. The main problem is with the lifts. There are 1-2 working lifts at any given time, and it can take a long long time to get into one!

I didn’t like the elevator because it kept going to different floors when I needed to go to ground floor and my key card didn’t work first time which was fixed eventually hence the 4 stars.

Initial impressions good, but lacks functionality
Perfect location for the Dominion theatre and was relatively quiet of outside noise. Room looked modern and recently updated, but a number of issues that made it lack functionality. We booked a double urban room and had a room with a double and single bed. Room didn’t feel cramped, but lacked storage. Double bed small and a bit hard with just one pillow each. Trying to relax we had to sit on the bed as only one chair, however as the bed was on a wooden floor it kept moving so we had to keep moving it back to the wall. The bathroom was small, lack space for toiletries and only had one hook for hanging up a towel. Biggest problem was the room was light at night as the blinds wouldn’t shut fully and had a gap at the top. The fridge in the room but it had a glass door and an internal light that we couldn’t switch off so we had to put our small suitcase in front of the door to block out some light. Also there are opaque glass in the bathroom door and the bathroom window in the wall that is within the bedroom. Using the light in the bathroom at night made the bedroom lighter and disturbed the other person. Renovations ongoing and we heard banging from 8am despite a note saying it would be between 9am & 5pm. When we left we waited almost 10 minutes for a lift as none stopped at our floor, ended up having to go down the stairs to get the lift to the right floor to then take luggage down.
