 The room service food is really terrible for a hotel chain such as Meridien Each time we ordered room service the proper change was not given back to us consider there is also a good service charge attached to it At checkout we were given a nice bill for phone calls which we did not make We were connected through the hotel to another local shop but they could at least inform us before connecting that the call will be charged an insane rate My data plan in the entire month costs less than that We did not end up paying this but when you are hungry in the morning and the first thing you have to do is check out this is not a pleasant way to start the day The shampoos and shower gels are not replaced either they way you would expect 
 The check in was decent and the lady who checked us in was quite kind The hotel left us a nice generic letter in the room and gave us some cute little desserts for our celebration They provide complimentary water and some drinks too which is nice The room size is good and spacious with a lot of light the location of the hotel is good very close to the Opera house I have stayed at the Imperial Hotel too with my family which was far more fantastic completely different league but a little further away So if location is very important this is a somewhat okay place to stay as long as you do not expect anything beyond basic service
