Bad Experience With 5 Star Hotel
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/27/06
I had earlier been given good recommendations on this hotel, so I was looking forward to my visit.
The best thing about the hotel is its location - right in the middle of the Bukit Bintang area, with plenty to choice of food, shopping and entertainment even within the Times Square complex. The hotel itself was disappointing. NEVER, NEVER GO TO THE 10TH AVENUE FOOD MALL for meals. They are totally ripe OFF.
Checked in late at about 5.30 pm, but room still not ready. Worst of all, we were confirmed of a �Superior room� but end up with a Deluxe room where it �s more than we budgeted. Room carpet was dirty, hot water wasn't working after several complaints.
The service is terrible. I needed to ring the housekeeping 5-7 times to get a towel! The men working there aren't well trained. They think that face towels are for VIPs only!
Our stay there was dreadful! I have to run several times to the reception to have our room card replace because every times we inserted it to the lift, it will tell you we are entering a restricted level / floor. And it take more than 10 minutes to get up to our room.
The place is hard to be seen and the service is very bad!!! It is a question mark in how did this type of organisations gets a 5 star rating for the hotel!!!! They have only few Food & Beverage outlets and they are rated 5 star which is ridiculous and what make it worse is the service provided by the staff!! They do not smile and they are not alert on the needs of the customer and often I have to waived and called out to the staff to order my food & drinks, clear my dirty dishes and topping up my iced water and have to wait nearly 1/2 hours for my bill to be presented!!! This is totally unacceptable as when all this happen, there is not even one manager to come forwards to appologies!!! I would not go back to this place even in a million years!!!
Bad management system!!!!!!
My advise, with this kind of rate, one can get a better hotel within the Bukit Bintang area. At least you don't face those un-friendly staff who is selling their service.
