Excellent experience. From check in where we were greeted with cold tea, very clean rooms though on small size (as advertised on the room description) beautiful design and materials. Very attentive staff. Great location near central market and temples in Chinatown. Lively area. Our corner room looked out over the intersection. Amenities including gym were very high quality. Restaurant was great as well.

Beautiful design but potentially noisy

Beautifully renovated and well located for chinatown. Liked the bar and breakfast. Didn't like that there were road construction works at 1am and when we complained, there was no apology, plus we had to demand a different room to sleep in because of the noise and the ground was vibrating!
