Cons:

Would be nice if tea cups/teaspoons in room were changed with room service, but hotel reception very obliging with all requests and sorted immediately - thanks

Quite comfortable.
Pros:

The location was, of course, wonderful. It is on the river with easy access to the park and the city.

Cons:

It was in two words, Sad and Tired. It looked like it needed a good Spring Clean!

Needs a refurbishment
Pros:

Mixed feelings. Visited this hotel in the 90s & it was the height of elegance. Sadly I feel it has not been kept up yet has massive potential. Bathroom big & lovely yet all sink/bath plugs broken. Beds comfy yet blocking entry to wardrobe( physically over the door). No ceiling lights in the room, only lamps - bizarre. Feels like it needs a massive injection of funds & love. Room service virtually stops at 9pm , after that 3 food items are available. A $30 wine bill charged at $136.00 and then to argue it. Sir Stamford Raffles would roll in his grave however the actual location and bones could become something incredible instead of a forgotten remnant. I have also stayed in the Stamford Hotel in Melbourne & it is in the same time warp/predicament. Have also stayed at Raffles and it is INCREDIBLE. I know the 2 companies are not related but please take a leaf from their book. Some staff were awesome, some hopeless. Kudos to the bellboy. I write this to hope that someone somewhere sees the huge potential in this hotel one day & for the now I guess it is quite cheap for its amazing location and views.
