This is stunning hotel with beautiful artwork, excellent bedding, interesting interiors etc. Unfortunately the staff are disengaged lack the service and skills you expect from a hotel of this standard. Staff at the lobby bar; left us waiting for our drinks, had to investigate where our drinks were. I genuinely felt staff just couldn’t be bothered - this was noticeable at the reception, bar and even the restaurant. The food was divine but again the service staff let it down, we won’t come again.

We were not able to check in or stay at the property due to power outage and now the property is refusing to give a refund.

Hi Shahed, Unfortunately, as you mentioned, the power outage was a situation beyond our control and this was restored shortly after you decided to leave. Checking in and staying at the Hotel was as any other day, and we understand it was your decision to leave and also agreed to have a credit note issued to you. We completely understand your frustration you may feel about not receiving a refund. But you were made aware that a refund will not be applicable as you decided to leave on your own. Thank you again for sharing your feedback with us. We value our guests' satisfaction and always strive to provide the best possible experience. We apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused you and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back under better circumstances in the future.

Perhaps because it is an old place, it had a very special feel, and the slightly dark lobby felt really comfortable, so I wanted to stay one more day. The design of the room was stylish and very clean and unique. Watching a Netflix movie with my husband on bed was a great time. I will come again

The hotel had a charm that made us relaxed. After check in we were walked to our room and the facility explained to us. The relaxation and dining in the gardens were sensational, along with the highlighting local produce by the restaurant. I will go back again and I encourage anyone to take the time out at the hotel.

Bar staff were lovely,hardworking and friendly. Was good to talk to them about their thoughts on different drinks. Was surprised that there was no handwash or soap in the bathroom, just one small tube of body wash. Think there should be a dedicated means of handwashing. We had to request an additional facewasher, we were only given one, despite the room being booked for 2 people. Room was lovely and comfortable. Airconditioner made a terrible noise so we didn’t use it. Disappointed that the sauna wasn’t working, and the water temperature in the indoor pool was quite chilly. Also, less than half the spa had working jets. For the amount of money we paid, I would expect these things to be functional and fully useable.

Great hotel, but dine somewhere else...
The good: the suite is a great size, nice shower, comfy bed, and very relaxing for a short stay. The hotel itself is quite nice, very nicely maintained and renovated. The happy hour at the bar was a lovely touch. The bad: the front desk was a bit too busy to attend to guests, which is odd. I get it's the busy season over the holidays, but worth remarking on. The restaurant (Virgin Kitchen) was terribly serviced. Staff were very new, untrained, unsure on any dish, and forgot orders twice. Dessert took 45 minutes to cut a slice of cheesecake. Sides never came that were ordered. The pasta was nice, but the pork chop was overcooked and very dry. Wine list was very short and mostly very low cost cheap plonk. You have guests with money and no way to get them to spend it. Extremely below-average dinner experience.

Disappointing stay, in very small room
While we had a nice stay, the hotel, the accessible room was very small and had almost no storage - 0ne narrow cupboard that held a fridge in the bottom half and an ironing board, iron and gowns filling most of the top. One small suitcase holder and small bedside tables (no drawers) The bathroom had a basin and a narrow table with hairdryer, shampoo, bathmat etc filling it, but with no room to put our toiletry bags and no other surfaces. I know the hotel was rebuilt a number of years ago after a fire, but it is now very dark grey and black walls with black and white line drawing pictures everywhere on the walls and a horrid black and grey check carpet. This may have been fashionable once, but now just looks dark, drab, lacking colour and dreary. The bathhouse is in great need of maintenance with a broken sauna, a number of lights not working and a failing non-slip floor covering that appears to be peeling off in many places, especially around the spa. The pool was too cold to swim in (either no heating or set at a very low temperature) Service was friendly and fine and the gardens are beautiful and very well maintained but the building needs some work and the rooms are just too small and lacking storage. The restaurant, Virgin Kitchen, was quite expensive and service was very slow, but the food when it finally came was tasty. We paid almost $600 for two nights and I really think it was overpriced for what they offer, hence I was overall quite disappointed with our stay.

Greetings Nagendra, We sorry that your stay did not live up to your expectations. Yes unfortunely, the sauna was out of order - We really sorry about this. These mechanical things can happen. You'll be glad to hear that its all fixed now. Looking at your reservation, you've booked a loft room which, is our smallest and cheapest standard room. We would invite you to book a suite or an executive suite next time. Thank you

Loved the spacious & beautiful room and the very helpful staff. Areas to work on were the bathroom items that were not in the bathroom that we had to ask for from the house keeping staff. Hand soap and shower cap. Annoying that advertising said Netflix was available in the rooms. Turned out Netflix was only available if guest had their own Netflix account.
