Establishment Hotel reviews
1 Star Review by Ivana Molnar
Accommodation is not recommended. Very loud from garbage trucks and people screaming through the streets all night, impossible to get any rest. It was also a week night. The room was dirty, stains everywhere, very dark and the mini bar obviously not sorted through as there was an open bottle of soft drink in the fridge. Also extremely loud noise from the plumbing in the room above, it would bang every time the person used a tap, and pipe noises the whole time the shower was being used, absolutely impossible to sleep with that sort of noise. The next morning, the cleaners in the next room were extremely loud. Door banging and complete disregard for the guests staying in adjoining room. Overall building is very outdated, lifts dirty and noisy. The only nice element was the foyer area but that's where it stopped. I cannot comment on the restaurant, as I didn't dine there.
1 Star Review by Olivia Curtis
I would give this hotel zero stars if I could. This hotel has absolutely terrible noise proofing. I have stayed in quieter hotels in the middle of Seminyak in Bali!! My partner and I were both kept wide awake the entire night by people in the street below coming out of pubs as well as every car and truck passing by as well as the noise coming in from the rooms next door and people in the hallway it was so loud it echoed through the room. We played white noise through an iPad which still couldnt drown it out. I finally fell asleep at 6am, thinking I might be able to sleep for a few hours before work, before we were woken up by cleaners vacuuming next door at 7am. It echoed right through our room it was so loud. We were staying here for business to get a good nights sleep to make it easier to be in the city the next day. Well that didnt work out because I was so sleep deprived that I took the next day off work. Not only the noise issue, the bed was not what I would expect from a 5 star hotel. The mattress was lumpy and uncomfortable and the sheets and pillows were rough and scratchy they made my skin itch. In case it couldnt get any worse, the room was hot and stuffy, despite it being cold outside. We had the aircon set on cold to 16 degrees and fan on high, but could hardly feel a draft in the room. We slept with the covers off and still were sweating. The bathroom was gross, there was visible black mould growing between the tiles and the bath was so small even for just 1 adult. I cant believe we paid $400 just to be sleep deprived in a dirty room. Ive never had such a terrible nights sleep in a hotel and Im absolutely shocked it can be classed at 5 star. I would never ever recommend this hotel to anyone it was awful and overpriced.
4 Star Review by Paul Luthe
Good size rooms but bathroom roof above shower had some black spots that could be mould. A little noisywith bars below and i was on 3rd floor.
2 Star Review by Mia
We cancelled our booking at Fullerton to try The Establishment, but it was big mistake! The hotel was nicely decorated but poorly maintained, stains everywhere. It was more like a hotel for a romantic layover than a hotel for serious business people. The machine in the gym won't work, and we could only have breakfast in the room (they said due to covid).
5 Star Review by Benedict McCarthy
Such an awesome hotel. I can't rate this place high enough. The staff are outstanding, the rooms are very cool, the location is perfect with a tram stop right outside, and the bars and restaurants in the building are sublime. We will be coming back again and again.
4 Star Review by Armand Martin
I like the place, however the salsa night are not longer salsa nights, they mix a lot of other Latin genders but not as much salsa as they used to do it.
5 Star Review by Michael Hahn
We loved everything about our stay here, including our visits to Palmer and Wong.
