Everything about Hotel Realm was exceptional! The reception staff were friendly, welcoming, courteous, professional, and extremely helpful. The room was spacious, modern, clean and comfortable. Bathroom was very user friendly with excellent water pressure in the shower! The best equipped gym of any hotel i have ever stayed in with the bonus of a 25m lap pool, spa, sauna and steam room facilities attached. We had dinner at Ostani restaraunt/bar, which had a great atmosphere and fantastic staff. Good variety on the menu, well priced, and DELICIOUS!! (Moroccon Lamb backstrap was outstanding!!!!!!!) Breakfast from Maple & Clove was also super tasty, with a good selection of fresh juices and smooties to complement the meals. (Great coffee too)

The Realm let itself down on cleanliness of pool and absolute disorder at both the restaurant and room service- taking one hour for food such as a bowl of chips. Staff weren’t the best- one waiter not assisting us at all to get simply some more bread for our dip. It was ok but not ‘5’ star- service staff need more than a fancy accent to be good - in fact quite the opposite

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
