Review of my stay in May 2024

What is your IHG One Rewards status?
Diamond Royal Ambassador Inner Circle

Were you (or for multi-stayers are you generally) happy with the hotel/stay?
Yes, pleasant stay.

Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive?
I booked cheapest rate and received One King Premium Lounge access room.

How are the rooms?
Around 22sqm large

Recently renovated in an elegant interior design..

Bedroom with large and very comfortable bed.
USB sockets next to the bed.
Desk


Television with large selection of channels.
Chromecast
No Free PressReader

Tiny bathroom with bathtub/shower combo.
Antipodes toiletries.
Bathrobes
Very poor water pressure

Kettle and Dolce Gusto coffee machine (basically Nescafé so you can skip it).
Empty and strangely unplugged minibar


View over the airport area.
Very quiet. Very poor ventilation system (I had to open the windows to get some air).

How is the exec. lounge?
Open 24/7
Selection of soft drinks and beers. Snacks

What was good and what was bad?
GOOD
  • Convenient location, less than 12 minutes walk from airport if you walk across the convenient covered walkway, called Skylink. Easy access to city centre by train from station, 5 minutes walk from the hotel.
  • Nicely renovated hotel
  • Smiling staff
  • Basic but pretty good breakfast

BAD
Very poor water pressure and ventilation system in the room

Value for $ or IHG One Rewards Points? Would you return?
Yes, very convenient for late arrival/early departure.
