HOTEL GYM RATER

Time of visit: June 2022

There’s a range of cable-based machines with different attachments – hip abductors, lat pull-downs and seated leg presses. There are dumbbells with set weights (up to 22 lbs/10 kgs) and dumbbells you assemble by putting together the small bar/handle with plates to adjust the weight. There’re three barbells and plates which adds up to 220 lbs/100 kg. There’s also a barbell bench press setup.

There’s a good range of cardio equipment that’s in working order including two stationary bikes, two cross-trainers and two treadmills.

Does the hotel gym offer complimentary towels? No.

Does the hotel gym offer complimentary water? Yes.

A word to sum up this hotel gym would be “dated”.

To summarize the strengths of this gym, it’s very accessible with opening times from 8am to 10pm. You collect a key from the reception which gives you access. As you enter, you feel the coolness from the air conditioning which is very welcoming!

It seemed clean and didn’t smell.

There’s a water machine which had ice cold and cool water.

There’s a TV but also good internet connection, in case you want to put on your own music.

However, despite having a decent range of equipment available, there were three machines that were out of order (e.g., lat pull-downs) and a lot of the things that were in working order were very old and seemed quite risky to use (e.g., the vertical leg press felt like it was going to snap at any moment). The clips for some of the barbells were terrible as well, either not holding the plates on or being a nuisance to get off.

No.
