I had a mixed experience at the Golden Hill Hotel Downtown. The staff were incredibly helpful in changing my room when the original one felt unfinished and too small. However, I faced several issues, including a live socket in the shower, which made me feel unsafe. Breakfast left much to be desired, as the service was lacking for a five-star hotel. 😕

I stayed at Golden Hill Hotel Downtown for 5 nights, and while the staff was really helpful when I needed to switch my room, I encountered several issues. The breakfast service left much to be desired, and the room I initially received was too small for comfort. Additionally, the safety of the shower was concerning due to a live socket. 😟 Overall, my experience was somewhat disappointing, especially for a place claiming to be 5-star.

My stay at the Golden Hill Hotel Downtown was a mixed bag.

I stayed at Golden Hill Hotel Downtown for five nights, and while the staff was very helpful, my experience was far from perfect. The room I had was small and unfinished, which was quite disappointing. Breakfast service left a lot to be desired, as they abruptly turned off the lights at 10 AM, which felt very rushed. The convenience of private parking was a plus, but overall, I expected more from a hotel with such a high rating.
