8/10 Very good

Good location but crossing Penang Road can be challenging. Use the bridge or walk to the traffic lights at Campbell. Clean and comfortable room. Ear plugs provided so mosque and street noise are muted. Good selection of food for breakfast. Special mention - excellent service from Yahfiz. Complimentary afternoon tea.

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel is amazed with Peranakan decor in modern settings. Bright and airy. Our rooms are big and spacious. The only problem I faced are steps to the bathroom. Good that the hotel has an “antique” glass lift that moves slowly. It serves clients like me who can’t climb up and down the stairs. Maybe should consider to have another lift just in case the one and only lift breaks down. Thank you to the management for the extra high tea treats. Very generous portion.

8/10 Very good

Comdy beds and pillows, loved the shower head also. Strong and good temperature that is adjustable. Aircon and fan strong. 1 narrow stairway and 1 lift which has a limit of 4 ppl max and moves really slowly. Other than that, great rooms and lovely staff and service.
