Whilst there is no doubt that the location and view from this hotel are outstanding, it is by no means perfect and you definitely have to question what exactly you are paying for.
First off it is worth saying that the staff are great and very welcoming. You can also enjoy walking around the hotel and seeing some of the artwork that is on show. But once you have seen this and enjoyed the view, the novelty wears off.
The room was OK, not great, just OK. It felt somewhat dull and the double glass due to the building structure, quite dark. The bathroom though very big, was nothing special and suffered from the current trend of having glass everywhere and hence no privacy, should you require it. The closet area was small and functional but certainly not a wow. The bed was very comfortable and there was a nice chair and sofa to rest on but again, just felt a bit dull. Another small annoyance was the lack of Bluetooth speaker or sound system. Pretty much anywhere I have stayed in the last 10years has had the facility to connect your phone and quietly or otherwise play music but not here.
Afternoon tea, passable at best and breakfast, not great. Certainly for a hotel that sells itself as being high end, it was far from that.
Swimming pool, honestly, rubbish. Seems like a complete after thought and regardless of being on the 85th floor, offers nothing of a wow factor. Feels like being in a basement with a few sun loungers.
Overall, over priced and over hyped, which is a shame as the staff try so hard but sadly will not be hurrying back.
