Shower leaks, toilet backup, power cuts, No hot or cold water at times. Extremely spotty WiFi. You’re Expedia booking will be questioned even if you already paid in full. One great thing about this place the rooftop bar/ lounge has an amazing view of the city and the food is tasty. And they offer airport drop-off. So if you have a short stay and won't spend much time in your room fo for. It

The hotel holds ID because of mini bar and there is a loud noise at night from the bar at the top. They should plan to put a credit card hold as an alternative to those who don’t wish their ID locked in.

Terrible experience, avoid
Arrived and they had not held our reservation even though we had paid for it, they had sold the room to another guest. When they eventually got us a room it stank of cigarette smoke for the first two days, there was smoke coming into the room from somewhere but couldn’t work out where. This stopped on the last day presumably because the source of the smoke had checked out. Everywhere in the room was unclean. One night a Jack hammer was going outside the window until 2am and then at 3am someone started playing music very loudly until 7am. Staff couldn’t be less enthusiastic, just do not care. Elevators are a nightmare because only one works and they have a bar on the roof that anyone can use so it’s always full when you’re trying to get down or up to a high floor. Just overall a really rubbish hotel with apathetic management and staff.

Great hotel with friendly staff
I had a wonderful stay at Monarch Hotel. The room was comfortable and the staff very pleasant and helpful. This made the stay even more enjoyable. The hotel has several restaurants. I liked the 360 restaurant that has a great view and is always lively in the evenings. I enjoyed the diner and drinks there on several occasions.
