Disappointed Hilton Stay
I was extremely disappointed with the overall service considering this hotel is rated as a 5-star hotel.
It took 3 attempts to make telephonic contact with the reception desk when calling to enquire about the parking options. When I arrived at the hotel, the elevator to the lobby was out of service. The key card system was offline so had to be escorted to the room and the key delivered later. The furniture looked very poor and had water damage. There were stains on the curtain that looked like blood. Water was leaking from the ceiling that woke us which I reported and was promised that a service person would come to follow up which never materialized. I ordered a halaal meal for a specific time at breakfast as suggested by your hotel guide however when I got to the restaurant, there was no special catering waiting for me and my wife. I am sure that Hilton will just offer a standard response as usual and not make up for this poor experience.

21 January 2020
Most of the staff was great pleasant friendly. Whatever I ate was great and tasty, however almost everyday they ran out of something or the appliance did not work and so on. Not really the standard of a Hilton hotel. You could not see the bottom of the pool as it was foggy. The windows dirty and by the pool a glass windshield was broken or missing and it is clear it has been missing for a long time. There were amenities displayed on the cctv which did not exist or work. The restaurant opening times changed without notice. there was no draft beer for 5 of the 9 days we were there. Clearly management lacks or funds do. But I still had a very good time. Initially when we got there we were assigned a room on the 1st floor but then the porter said no!! we need to get you a better room and he did. Interesting when we got to our room now on the 9th floor it seemed that some one was just there. There was a half drunken bottle of water in the room... funny things like that happened regularly.

Not family friendly.
We had to wait for for over 30min because our rooms were not available.
We booked in as a family and the rooms were so far apart being a total risk for the kids. But the hotel itself is good. Just not children friendly.
