My first stay at Kelvin but not I hope my last.
Pros:

Unfortunately I could not stay for breakfast because I had to leave early in the morning. I tried to make up for that by having a good dinner at your restaurant the night before.

Cons:

Nothing much really. I kept on turning to rhe right to find my room when I should have been turning to the left. Wrong room numbers on doors told me that I was in the wrong corridor.

Happy family
Pros:

We had a lovely stay, our
room was comfortable and we felt well looked after. It's the ideal spot to explore the city centre. The Ube cake purchased from the nearby mall was exceptional.

Pros:

Excellent location. Although the hotel rooms are on the older side, it was clean and tidy. Comfortable bed. Although parking is offsite, it is pretty much just over the road, which isn’t a problem.
