Stayed at the Grand Habour view Sky suite for 3 nights. WiFi was not working on day 1, one of the bedside lamps was not working. AC could not be adjusted (only on/off). Like the space and the view, and the staff was very friendly and did their best to help, but the maintenance should be done much better.

its very peaceful and quiet. The hotel itself could do with some modernisation as its looking a bit tired. No problem getting a sun longer and that was set up well. Food was mostly ok, although pretty repetitive for dinner. The Italian restaurant was not good - forgot our food, then it was lukewarm and not edible. The bar was great, and actually served the nicest food. Overall, its nice enough, but didnt wow us.
