    1. Staff at the restaurant Perinine specially one person whose name I forget. We went for breakfast only once during our 6 night stay. This person overcharged us for a cup of tea which was included in the American breakfast I chose. However he charged 13 dollars separately for the tea and when asked he told that ordinary tea, coffee, etc was included but not masala tea which I had ordered! 13 dollars won’t make me poor or Ratan Tata rich - so I didn’t pursue the matter further. We went for lunch with some guests the next day and the same person insisted on first showing us the menu before offering us a seat. I was quite pissed off and left the restaurant for a nearby Indian place. Overall quite bad experience on both days that we visited the restaurant. 2. Whenever we ordered in room service a 10 dollar charge was added to the bill as cover charges which we were told were the charges for bringing the food to the room. That’s OK. But this has to be a flat rate and not a rate per dish. We ordered for 3 dishes one day and this charge was increased to 30 dollars- 10 dollars per dish. I mean the hotels send everything once so why have a charge per dish! 3. We had booked a suite for 3 guests. The charges for the suite for 3 guests was more than that for 2 guests. So it was my understanding that an extra bed for the 3rd guest would be included in the room charges. Nothing was mentioned during booking also or hotel site also that the an extra bed would be chargeable even though we had paid for 3 guests. However a charge of 50 dollars per night was charged for the extra bed! I think this was unreasonable - either charge the same rate for the suite whether for 2 or 3 guests and then charge separately for the extra bed or if hotel has already charged extra for 3 guests then why charge again for an extra bed? 4. At the time of check out the lady checking us out was quite cold - Crystal was her name. Couldn’t reply properly to certain queries.

    1. Check in was great. Room was upgraded to a room supposedly with a better view. But there was no view from room 835 which was given to us. However the one and a half bathroom compensated for it. 2. Hotel amenities are awesome. 3. Staff are extra friendly. 4. Concierge were very polite and super helpful. There is nothing they don’t know. Special mention of Abraham and Toby(if I remember correctly)

    View was ok. We'd booked a park view and it was limited to one edge. We had quite a lot of building and roofs in our view.

    Location of hotel is perfect! Stunning surroundings and close to the metro. Staff were incredible, including providing an anniversary gift of wine/cake to the room - this really made the day special! Amenities and cleanliness were incredible!

    My phone beside bed didn't work. Some staff were rude. Room service they brought only enough for one person I had a guest and I had told them. When I asked for more toiletries it took a long time. Also the guests next door were VERY LOUD.

    I checked in for a two day stay. I was in town to see a concert. I loved the restaurant in hotel.

    the hotel needs some renovation. The view was sad as it was overlooking the under-renovation part of the hotel.

    Old World Charm, the elevator cars which make you feel like you are transported to 60's. The staff were nice and friendly.

    We would have liked a coffee machine in the room. We don't expect to have to walk down to the lobby between certain times in the morning to get a coffee in our PJ's !

    Everything was really good and as expected for the price we paid for a luxury hotel.

    Bar was closed for a private event Saturday evening, which was a little disappointing. We were served in the restaurant, which was fine. Would have love for the coffee service to have last longer than 8 am especially considering it was a weekend.

    Room comfortable and quiet, staff very helpful, room very clean.

    Felt like reception, concierge, bar and restaurant staff were fulfilling a function rather than enthusiastic about guest relations. The staff in the bar are singled out for criticism as they do the absolute basics and seem to lack basic interpersonal skills.
