Ali

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
I had a disappointing stay in first collection business bay, Housekeeping started working right outside my room at 2 AM and continued until 5 AM, making it impossible to rest. When I called reception, they simply apologized. At checkout, I raised my concern again, and they admitted they were aware of the issue but only offered a vague promise to "do something" if I stayed with them again. A hotel should focus on fixing problems first rather than expecting guests to return for a better experience. Apart from this, the only highlights were the breakfast staff, who were very kind and attentive, and the spa, which was a pleasant experience. However, the overall customer experience needs significant improvement. I wouldn’t recommend this hotel.
