Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is truly a gem with its modern rooms offering a direct view of the Opera House. The friendly service makes up for some of the staff's shortcomings. The central location is hard to beat, but the dining options may not suit all tastes.
The hotel's location next to the Opera House is absolutely stunning, but the room setup can be hit or miss with either a huge bed or two very narrow single beds. The service is impeccable, especially at the Reception Desk, while the location is unbeatable for exploring the city. Dining mostly caters to non-Muslim food preferences, enhancing the overall experience.
The hotel is centrally located in a posh district with famous luxury brand boutiques and offers a balcony onto the garden from the rooms. The rooms are comfortable with a shower but lack a soap holder in the bathroom. The service is commendable with staff trying hard to provide good service. However, improvements are needed in customer service. The location is ideal for exploring the city's major sights. The dining mainly caters to non-Muslim food preferences. The facilities are satisfactory, but there is room for upgrades in the bathroom amenities.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were modern, with a nice garden view and a small balcony overlooking the Opera House, but the beds were quite narrow for my liking. The service ranged from rude receptionists to courteous staff, making it a bit inconsistent. The location was ideal, right in the center of the city opposite the Opera House, offering easy access to major sights.
