Great location. Close to a station with 3 lines so easy to get around. Flat ground to station so good for suitcases. My room had a musty smell which only went away after 2 days and getting a room freshener myself. But it was a good size and everyrhing worked fine. The staff were lovely and always assisted me including finding a sock that went missing from my laundry. We stayed 10 days in total and it was a completely adequate stay.

I recommend

Beautiful property and perfect location. However, it might be a cultural thing but you will not experience the same kind of welcome you feel in America. People will not greet you. Room is a lil smaller than I expected and I’m an airline employee that travels the world. Room was cleaned daily and sheets were replaced. I would definitely recommend just wanted to highlight certain things so travelers are aware. Ps: I didn’t recognize that there was mold on my bathroom ceiling. I can tell they didn’t pay attention to detail when cleaning. Over all a clean property

The room was dirty, and dusty. We we arrived the lobby staff took a 10 minute phone call in the middle of us checking in and we thought that was rude. The bed was cozy, but the room was very dirty on the walls. In the bathroom the paint was peeling by the tub.

The room was incredibly dirty when I was checked in. There were dusty everywhere, floor, shower room, bath tub, even on the bed sheet.I told the staff to change the room but unfortunately, there were no available room. So, I asked for cleaning my room asap, the staff promised. But there were no one came to clean. An hour later, I told the staff again about my unclean room. They apologized me again and promised to clean my room. So, I went out and come back later night. MY ROOM STILL DIRTY AS BEFORE.

I really enjoyed my stay at the Hotel the Designers, the concierge staff were very friendly and helpful to me. The hotel room suite was excellent and always restocked with amenities that I needed daily. Even during the hard time of 2021, this hotel has still upheld very high standards of service. I really enjoyed my stay and will definitely book here again. :)

Location is great; near the subway station and airport bus. Customer service was subpar. Front desk do not greet you (did not look at us at all) when you enter and are unfriendly when answering questions. Room was spacious for a family of 3 adults.
