Checking In and Out

 

I check-in almost at midnight hence I was glad that the process was speedy. At checking out, it was a nice gesture that the staff query about my stay. However, I was surprised that they did not print the invoice for me to verify, instead just rattle off the summary of my bill. Secondly, I wasn’t ask if I prefer to pay in Singapore Dollars or Indian Rupee. Decided on my behalf, paid in Indian Rupee hence I incurred a currency conversion fee of 10% of the bill on my credit card. 

 

Though the service staff was friendly and sought feedback of my stay which was a good gesture.

 

 

Room

 

At an area of 42m², it was almost double the size of most hotel rooms, not only in Mumbai but most cities. Even though it was huge, it allowed only a maximum occupancy of 3 guests. Beside the King bed, a sofa, working desk and armchair, guest can request for a rollaway bed at an additional cost and permits a crib.

 

Allocated room was perched at level 28, right outside was the elevator. Room was relatively quiet even though it was near the lift. However, part of the rooms at one end has the echo effect due to the hollow structure of the building.

The mattress of the King Size Bed was a little soft. At the minimal, it provided support for the back. I prefer it to be firmer. Pillow is too soft which doesn’t provide any support for the neck.

 

4 buttons by the bedside are switches to the different light. Since it wasn’t labelled, except for the master button, it was all about trials and errors.

The room was equipped with a flat-screen TV (approximately 32-inch). Each room was offered both wireless and wired internet and numerous audio and video jack. It has both the USB and normal electric plugs for the different variations. I counted about 5.

 

Adjustment for the air-conditioning temperature wasn’t working well. No matter how I increase the temperature, the room remained cold.
