Categories

Cleanliness
9.5
Hardly mentioned directly; overall references to 'luxurious' rooms, exceptional pool and dining imply very high cleanliness standards throughout the property.
Service
9.6
Overwhelmingly praised — numerous comments about staff going above and beyond, personalized butler service and friendly helpful teams; isolated negatives include poorly trained check-in/check-out staff and some forgetful restaurant/breakfast attendants.
Location
9
Frequently lauded for grandeur and prime position in the city; tempered by mentions of heavy crowds, traffic noise and that the immediate area is not the quietest part of town.
Room Quality
8
Multiple guests note rooms are dated, decoration needs updating and some rooms require upgrades, though upgraded suites can be beautiful.
Amenities
9.4
Strong praise for pool, gym, bars, restaurants and shops; pool described as exceptional and large, though some guests noted limited privacy around the pool area.
Value for Money
8.8
Perceived as a premium, high-value experience overall, but isolated incidents (cash policy refusal, occasional service lapses) slightly reduce perceived value.
Food and Beverage
9.4
Food repeatedly described as excellent — best meals, delicious breakfast and standout restaurants; however, service in some restaurants can be poor or inattentive.
Overall Experience
9.9
Many reviewers call the stay phenomenal, a childhood dream or iconic experience; small operational negatives do not substantially detract from an outstanding overall stay.

Super cool location
Pros:

The property itself is vibrant and holds years of history. The food was good and reception stuff very helpful and friendly. Very clean room and all needed amenities inside.

Cons:

The breakfast buffet was super busy (it looked they were sold out on that weekend) and you don’t get attention from waiters
