Service was hit and miss at front desk - some friendly and helpful (Mahesh & Chloe) others not. Almost impossible to reach guest services by phone from the room which was very poor. No staff visible around the hotel so it lacked warmth and soul. No hotel bar .

Shower area has some areas with permanent mold/stain at some corners. Sinks were not thoroughly cleaned. I booked The Darling because of good reviews of clean rooms, etc.
