The toilets at the foyer and all the major walkways for Purple and Gold Levels, as well as around the accesses to East and West Towers are disgusting! I don’t envy the staff who have to clean them, and I always try to use as a last resort. If you’re trying to impress, but want a great meal as well as some halal options for those who require, then Roka is definitely worth a visit.
