Pros:

Good breakfast selection. Room was big and we selected the sea facing one. Close to restaurants and pubs along the waterfront. Centrepoint mall is nearby within walking distance

Cons:

Hotel street access and surroundings extremely run down. Not a pleasant way to get in and out whether by foot or by car. Wet market right across road with strong odour
Hotel corridors too dimmed for my liking

My short stay in Le Meridien was quite enjoyable nevertheless and the staff were very helpful
Pros:

The breakfast spread was excellent. The staff was friendly and did their jobs very well. However, there are 3 matters I wish to highlight:
1. The security box was not working so I called for it to be rectified, A technician came, inspected it and thought the batteries were faulty and so were replaced. The safe box worked but after a short period the safe faulted again. The matter was again reported and 2 technicians came to have a look. After inspection, they reported that the box had been replaced with a different box and the replacent was working well. However, after a short while the box was faulty again. This required me to report the fault for the third time. A technician came and located and rectirfied the fault.

2. The shower floor of Room 1306 has a level which cannot drain the water after a shower. The floor is always flooded after a shower, making it slippery and dangerous. Although the chambermaid always wiped the foor during room cleanini, i suspect the faulty floor level was never reported.

3. There was a time when I dialled "0" for service and the telephone was not answered. I telephoned 3 times before someone responded. This experiebce was annoying and disasterous in emergency situations.

Cons:

See my comments above.
