園畔國際酒店 - 瑞丁 Parkside International Hotel

The night porter was very pleasant

The morning receptionist was surly; there was only one television station - Sky News; the breakfast was of poor quality - it appeared to have been kept warm for hours, including the tea.

Very clean

Their literature offered 24 hour snacks and drinks and also said that they served lunch from around 12 -2:30. We were told at 1:30 that no food whatsoever was available until 6pm. This is shocking service for a hotel. How can you have a hotel with no food from breakfast till late evening. I will be contacting the hotel directly for a refund.

Convienient for Reading

I was not sure if the desk staff understood English or were just indifferent. I did not get the room I requested, a non smoking room with twin beds. After some debate about a double room and a twin room I eventually got a smoking room with two beds. The room whilst clean was poorly maintained, the window would not close properly although the duty manager forced it into a semi closed position, there was no shaver light in the bathroom and shower tap could not be fully turned off. It reminded me of a Spanish hotel iin the seventies. I arrived at 9.30 pm, could not get a meal or a sandwich and had to go elsewhere. I was asked to pay the bill on arrival, and could not get a receipt on departure at 6.30 am because the desk attendant could not understand how I had paid a discounted price and did not appear able to operate their computer system.

The breakfast meal and the cleanliness of the room.

IT had no cooling system only heating that fact the the windows opened was its saving grace.
