For the price I paid, this hotel did not live up to my expectations at all. The restaurant for breakfast had very poor food quality and service. I trust Intercontinental hotels, but this one was very disappointing.

When I booked the hotel, I specifically requested change the king bed to two single beds. However, at check-in, I was informed that all rooms were fully booked, and it was impossible to switch. My 13-year-old son, who is 180 cm tall, was unwilling to share the king-size bed with me, so he had to squeeze onto the couch for the night. The hotel could have informed me in advance that they couldn’t accommodate the request, allowing me the option to book a different hotel.
