Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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

We stayed in the Realm room - 2 adults and one child, this room is not designed for more than 2 adults and this is clearly stated on the Realm website in the room description- unless the child is very young. Expedia needs to review this as we could not get a roll away bed for the room as the front desk staff said it would not fit. We utilise Expedia as we usually make bookings on the fly as I am away from home a lot and stay at the realm on a regular basis. The realm is a fantastic hotel but unfortunately the realm room is not adequate for 2 adults and a 10 year old child. Expedia please review this as this is not a review against the Realm Hotel.

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
