The room size and design is excellent, but quite a few things are missing, which is a shame. For example, there is a washing machine but no soap powder, and worse, no iron nor ironing board... The lobby area is underwhelming. It feels like it was not supposed to be there in the original design. The Fountain restaurant was OK, but really missed out on being quite special. The service there was not brilliant.
