Very good

The staff at the Icon Malabar was incredibly friendly and helpful. I thought the area was in a nice location, easy to walk to the main attractions of the city, and was everything I was looking for during my stay.

On arrival, airport conditioning and elevator were not working. As a 64 year old with arthritic ankles, I had to drag my heavy suitcase up 3 floors to my room. Air con was broken all night (as was elevator) so I sweated all night and got little sleep. Went out in morning (walking down and up stairs still to/from breakfast - great breakfast btw). Returned in the evening to be told it was fixed. But not in my room! Rude staff member insisted it was my fault for 'playing' with controls. It was eventually fixed but both AC and elevator were not working for short periods throughout my 7 day stay. In my room, one rail over the safe to hang clothes but NO cupboard space, so had to live out of a suitcase. Gap at bottom of bed so small it was necessary to climb over the bed to get to a mirror on the other side. Breakfast good. Most staff friendly except the guy I mentioned earlier. Clean and modern. Coffee in lobby from a machine but not in room. Fridge but full of stuff they want to sell you at high prices. Pool and solarium are great, despite what I have read in other reviews. Noise was not an issue for me, again despite other reviews, although I was at the back of the hotel - I can imagine that front of hotel is pretty noisy. Last moan - and I am disgusted by this: the first night, when I had to bake in the heat and couldn't use the elevator, I had a bottle of water from the fridge. They refused to let me have this for free as some sort of apology and charged me for it at the end!

We had a good experience with the customer service—they were responsive and polite whenever we reached out. Unfortunately, the apartment itself was very disappointing and did not match the expectations set by the listing. The air conditioning was not working properly, the floors were dirty when we arrived, there was mold in the shower, and the toilet seat had what appeared to be old stains on it. To make matters worse, we saw a roach before we left. While we appreciate the staff’s kindness and willingness to communicate, the cleanliness and maintenance of the property need significant improvement. I hope these issues are addressed for future guests.
