Worst checkin experience ever!
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

My experience at this hotel was extremely disappointing. I ultimately had to cancel my stay because the check-in process was completely chaotic.

I arrived expecting a normal check-in, but ended up waiting in the lobby for nearly five hours. When I finally asked for an update, I was told it would take another two hours, meaning I wouldn’t have been able to access my room until around 8:00 PM after spending the entire day waiting.

The reason for the delay was that the hotel’s self-check-in machines were unable to read my passport. Instead of providing a manual check-in or an alternative solution, I was simply told that because I was not a hotel member, they could not assist me. This is unacceptable customer service. A hotel’s responsibility is to accommodate all paying guests, not just members.

The lack of urgency, poor communication, and complete absence of customer support turned what should have been a straightforward check-in into a frustrating ordeal. After wasting almost an entire day, I had no choice but to leave and book another hotel.

I would not recommend staying here unless the hotel significantly improves its check-in process and trains its staff to properly assist guests when technology fails.

WORST EXPERIENCE EVER!

Horrible Stay Ever @ The First World Hotel Becames Last Stay in my life
Pros:

Nothing. Overall disappointed 😞

Cons:

The Kiosk Check-in was insane & kept insisting by the cruel staffs. In fact, the stay was for 2 & requests made for double bedded, but the system insanely checked in with 2 single bedded. Do you think the Husband & the Wife are prefers to sleep in 2 different single beds for the cherished moments?

The kiosk checked-in room change over the counter was horrible, which took 2 hours.

The hotel was smelly & unpleasant. First largest hotel in the world, but no towels for 2 pax instead was only one towel, no television, no water bottles, no toothbrush or toothpaste...
