I booked a one-bedroom apartment suite for a 4 night stay. The suite was spacious and had a lovely balcony to sit out on, a small kitchen with a decent sized fridge and everything you might need to be reasonably self-sufficient. The staff were extremely helpful at every turn. The bar downstairs has a nice, relaxed atmosphere. The only negative was the bathroom shower which was in urgent need of renewal. Definitely not up to 5* standard in its current state and not properly clean on arrival. All up, I would definitely stay here again, especially for a longer stay, as the apartment was spacious and comfortable. Hopefully the bathroom upgrades will be completed soon.

Really disappointed that the bad reviews were all true. The room was large which was great; but not overly clean - spiderwebs, Bobby pins from past guests in carpet, marks and scuffs on all walls and all the furniture was dinted and in need of some basic maintenance. Bathroom flooded after every shower as the door didn’t close properly. Housekeeping seem disorganised - I never saw a hallway without a pile of dirty linens waiting to be removed in the entire two days, when our room was made up we were left with no towels at all and our rollaway bed took a good 3 hours and multiple calls to appear. We also had a staff member enter our room without knocking - he clearly thought the room was empty as quickly shut the door and then knocked but we were pretty shocked that knocking isn’t basic protocol for staff when entering a room. I think the biggest issue is realm position themselves as a five star hotel, which therefore leads to some expectations that they just do not deliver on. Never found the QR code for the mini bar or room service so can’t comment on those. I did give feedback to reception on checking out and I cannot fault the staff members response he wrote it down, promised follow up and comped our parking and I felt like he acknowledged our issues very well. The public areas of the hotel are lovely, but the rooms need a good deep clean and repair, and unless the service and offering can be lifted the hotel should only be positioning themselves as a 3.5 star hotel.

Customer service was non existent. There was poo on the toilet upon arrival so we had to clean it. I was also woken at night with the sound of someone throwing up constantly it was awful. There was also a glitch and we couldn’t order room service easily. Housekeeping didn’t refresh our room until I called at 4pm and they did it (I’d put the make up my room light on). Pool was small and crowded and as the room service staff were so understaffed I doubted their ability to clean the pool if they are too overwhelmed to clean the rooms. I was promised some butter that would be sent to my room but it never arrived then I called again they told me they’d follow it up, never arrived and they never answered the phone again and I certainly tried many times and at different hours of the day. Just so very disappointed that we couldn’t even spend the second night we’d paid for. We just left as we couldn’t get out of there quickly enough. It’s gone downhill since it first opened years ago. We won’t be back.

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.
