Messy
I will probably no longer go to the Realm. Main reasons are the following: 1/ Breakfast. Too long waiting time. I had to pay but had to leave before the breakfast was served… They don’t have a buffet where you can quickly grab some food and a coffee and go. No you have to wait until somebody comes and then order and wait. For me breakfast is 10mn max. I left after 25mn without having eaten… 2/ The restaurant is too noisy. Impossible to find a quiet place. Speakers everywhere and hard material echoing… 3/ Complex order intake. You need to order from two different t counter for food and drinks, which is making you queue twice…but then when you want to order a coffee and queue at the drink counter, they will ask you to queue at the food counter…. What’s the logic??? 4/ I orde a bottle of Champagne at $130 on their table app, but order would not proceed, so I went to the counter and they said the app was promotional and I need to pay $150 at the counter… not logic

Easy access hotel, safe and room clean. Check in staff helpful and very polite. Breakfast was busy and food slightly above average but whilst staff levels are high, the restaurant felt unorganised and chaotic :)

The team at Hotel Realm are friendly, approachable and accommodating. The surrounding dining options are exemplary, and the connections to services such as gym, spa and hairdresser make this the perfect Barton stay.

Great trip, outdated room.
Hotel realm is beautiful and has a wonderful location! But the decor of the rooms are outdated, the carpet is terribly stained and the seating does not allow for a couple of families to be close together and comfortable. The robes provided have a horrible smell to them and the 24hr room service is not great! We did enjoy our night away and the bed was so unbelievably comfortable that you don’t wanna leave it. We would definitely stay again if the price was lower for what you get.

Fantastic 5-night stay.
Great location. Excellent facilities. Friendly team. The pool area is great, but the hours are restricted - even needing to book at times, due to its use by the public.
