Old Charming Historical Mansion
Pros:

Location fairly good. In Little India and a few blocks from Chinatown. Walking distance to Armenian Street.

Old world charm. Different breakfasts on different days: one day dim sum, 2nd day continental, 3rd day Indian, 4th day French style toast but using Chinese Mi Gui (Turtle Bread).

Cons:

Could do some repair which really cost minimum. Like the arm of a chair in the dining room came off and stuff knew about it. All it took was some furniture glue to fix.

Some historical photos in the main reception area but the descriptions were way too small and too high up to read. What a pity.

A huge step from the sleeping quarter into the bathroom. The landing was too narrow so it was scary to step into the bathroom in the middle of the night. See photo.

Pros:

The staff was wonderful, both Sathia and Ai Tee kept us organized and very well fed. Ai Tee's breakfast was a daily treat, and the dim sum were the best.

Cons:

Poor configuration of stairs in the bathroom. A chair or two in room would be a plus...the room is a great size.

Great stay!
Pros:

The vibes and the way the place was restored was really great!

Cons:

The rooms we booked for our family had the bathroom attached to the room upstairs. We may have booked other rooms as we had older family members and they did find it a little troublesome if they slept downstairs and they'd have to climb upstairs for the loo
