Negative Reviews
negative:
Some rooms are noisier than others
Several guests say that the extractor fans from the kitchen hum incessantly during the day and the bustle of the kitchen permeates to the rooms above. Others note that public areas, other than the restaurant and bar, are unusually cold.
negative:
Restaurant
Most guests comment that the dinner dress code in the restaurant is a little too formal and that the four-course dinner leaves room for improvement. Others suggest visiting the walker's bar first since a rotating menu is available and the atmosphere is more casual.
negative:
Issues with management
Some guests note that the on site manager can be more accommodating to guests by asking about special dietary needs or instructions upon check in. Others feel printed updates about sudden changes in hotel hours would be more effective than if only a verbal update is given.
