We were in room 110 and the room was quite expensive . Outside the room was a large amount of ventilation equipment that was going off and on all night. My wife is a light sleeper and could not sleep. Told staff in morning on checkout and was not to bothered. Really was poor experience and no sleep left is with a very uncomfortable trip home .
Major problem,, but the facilities and dining facilitate excellent, but because of the no sleep and the staff not caring will not be returning

Basic outdated hotel room, walls are thin and you can hear your neighbors talking or doing the deed. Overpriced for what it offers. Needs renovation and better maintenance. Stuff asked for additional money at check in.

I had a wonderful three day stay at the Hotel Expo, the lady at the front desk did a marvellous job assisting me with anything I asked her to explain and show me. A special employee that should be recognized. Room was always made up and tidied when I returned. Easy to get to from the airport by taxi or Metro

Close to airport, not to comfortable for rest
Staff were friendly, breakfast was great. Unfortunately the windows don't open and they had a central heating temperature set, meaning you can't adjust your rooms temperature. It was really hot, stuffy, and difficult to sleep without clean air.

Convenient but not relaxing. Well priced.
The reception staff on check in was top lady. Very professional, friendly and helpful. The room was designed nicely, however, the walls are so thin that I could hear my neighbours as if we were sharing a room. When you book a 4 star hotel you do not expect to find yourself in a dormitory.

The thing that makes this hotel so special is it's reception staff. The quality, commitment and friendliness of the reception team is what has drawn me back to this hotel over many years. They are always professional, understanding and possess excellent English language skills.

Don’t stay in this hotel!
Be careful! Do not stay in this hotel! The hotel room was dirty and there is a wired smell all over the floor , the breakfast was very poor, and the service was so bad you could even imagine!!
