There's no shuttle service no parking and you have to pay extra for everything. I will never book this hotel again!

Everything about this accomodation is the best, great facilities, great staff and there's always tons of free food items so you don't have to worry about salt or cooking oils, or coffee even. Big thanks to a staff member, the tall gentleman wearing the cap, outstanding service and a warm welcoming ...

Hotel Give
We had a studio room which was great. It came with a little basic kitchen. Loved being next to the gardens and such a short walk to the riverside markets and mall. It was a bit noisy at night with people coming and going .
