We’ve stayed at Corinthia Hotels before and know they pride themselves on a high standard, think luxurious bedding, expensive furnishings and top quality everything! But no, not here. This is a modified high rise block of flats with the kitchens removed. The hotel is clearly desperately clinging hold of their 5 stars, and they must be nervous about their next hotel inspection, as they’ll probably have a good few taken away!
We paid for the most expensive suite that we saw online. The pictures were the same as the lower priced suite so hoped that our suite was going to be nicer. It wasn’t. It was dated. Think 1950’s golden age of Hollywood, without the glitz and glamour! The water pressure was hardly working in one tap, but others were like the Bellagio Fountains!
The air conditioning didn’t work, our room was so hot, we had to open the window and get some fans in the room. It radiated the room temperature by about 2am. By that point we had been joined by lots of creepy bugs! It’ll explain why so many of them had been squished into the wall!
We rang up and asked that someone fixed the air conditioning the next day whilst we’re out. They didn’t bother to fix it or provide an explanation as to why it couldn’t be fixed.
The bed wasn’t comfortable at all. There was no mattress topper, just a hard mattress. We tried to watch TV and connect to our phone, it worked… for about 30 minutes then kept disconnecting. The internet it unreliable and please don’t rely on it working
