Delight venue amidst a historic locale
Pros:

Excellent breakfast included in the price and delightful restaurant staff

Cons:

The Booking.com site said we would have drinks and canapés each night on our stay but that did not happen. The hotel said that was offered for the next level of room but I couldn't find that exception on this site

Lovely stay
Pros:

Staff were delightful and there were really lovely little touches like leaving us cake and decorating the bed for our honeymoon. The hotel also has a beautiful unique historic feel, while still maintaining comfort.

Cons:

The pool is a little small.

Pros:

The interior was so nice and very well put together - the room was small but very lovely and fit into the vintage theme of the hotel. Location was amazing - very close to chinatown and the surrounding areas was really great too. Would definitely stay here again and for longer next time. We also got a free upgrade to a king size room, which was an amazing bonus!

Cons:

Room was tiny - only thing I can think of.

Heart of Chinatown in hotel with style and character
Pros:

Fantastic location in Chinatown and a very characterful hotel. Major building work next door which meant our room window was screened off but this was not a problem and meant any noise disruption was very limited. Our booking included both an excellent breakfast and access to the lounge with complimentary drinks and appetisers. The availability (and relaxed style) of this turned this into a great value stay. Room aircon was very effective but not chilly or noisy.

Cons:

Daily room cleaning was late afternoon by which time we had generally returned to our room and so this was not convenient.

Exquisite! Fabulous, interesting hotel with wonderful friendly staff.
Pros:

The hotel is beautiful, full of historical artifacts which are displayed in the foyer and passageways. It is very well organised and interesting. The staff are wonderful. Friendly, helpful and attentive. Randy greeted us by name as we came and went and it was a very personalized and friendly atmosphere everywhere in the hotel. The room was small but beautiful and the bed was comfortable. The Shikar Restaurant was set up like a library and was tastefully decorated. We really enjoyed our stay and the personal approach made it something special.

Historic hotel steeped in service and tradition.
Pros:

This is an amazing hotel. They are strict about the 3pm check in time, but when I showed up just after 9am, I was able to not only leave my luggage, but also have a shower and go in the pool and chill a bit. Then when I returned to the hotel at 3, the luggage was already in my room for me. My package included the executive lounge, which gives you free drinks and snacks in the afternoon, plus free cocktails and nibbles in the evening. Amazing. Breakfast is first class from a menu, made to order. Gluten free options are very good, with Cultivate GF Vegan restaurant on site. If they didn't have gluten free, then they made things for me. The staff are very friendly and attentive, okay maybe some more than others, but I really appreciated them knowing my name and greeting me. The female staff are generally more reserved. I really enjoyed my stay, and it is the first hotel where I have been sorry to leave at the end of my stay.

Cons:

My bedroom was a single and was a bit on the narrow side and lacked a lot of storage for clothes. It did have an amazing mini bar in the wardrobe though. The bed was comfy and I slept well. For a longer stay, more storage would have been welcome.

The whole experience was wonderful, very welcoming staff on arrival, excellent room and access to the premier lounge was
Pros:

From when you first walk in and see the history of the hotel, wait in the lounge and be pampered and treated very well, check into room and see the magnificent antique style settings and furnishing, a wonderful experience and very different to a standard hotel.

Cons:
