impressed stay at this hotel

early check-inquick room changeunderwhelming facilities
i was very happy about the early check-in i got. i had travelled with an infant and the hotel accommodated this request nicely. when the steam shower in my room was not working, they changed my room very fast.
the facilities seemed underwhelming for a five star hotel. too many things were wrong with the room. as i stayed for just one night, i didn't expect to waste my time sorting problems out.

The room was quite small. I think it could be bigger. THERE was also some noise from outside, a little annoying. It was hard to sleep well with the street sounds. The windows didn't block enough noise. The nightclub noise kept me awake, and this affected my stay negatively! The small room size and external noise pollution were disappointing.
