the staff in the lobby seemed fine, always with these big smiles and eager to help.
the room service was a joke. i called for coffee, and it took ages just to get someone on the phone, then another 40 mins for the coffee to arrive. they charged me £6 per coffee when it is £4 at the bar! thats a total rip off for such slow service.
