Negative Reviews
negative:
Unreliable Wi-Fi.
For guests that come from other countries, Wi-Fi is important in order to remain in contact with loved ones or business colleagues. Unfortunately, the service is unreliable, and disconnects often, resulting in frustrations, and many complaints.
negative:
Poor breakfast.
The continental breakfast on offer each morning is rather limited in it's selection, and guests have found complaint with what is actually on offer. A better selection, with more variety in items would go a long way to appease any guest.
negative:
Language barriers.
Many guests have found that they have struggled to
communicate with some of the staff, as the English language is rather limited
to the upper staff members. This can be a very frustrating situation,
especially if one is enquiring about airport transfers, or calling the hotel to
make special arrangements.
