Pros:

The staff was friendly n giving their best service

Cons:

Its a shame tht i originally book fr one but had to change last minute to master bedroom since there's no single room n need to share my bedroom with random stranger n also w the opposite gender. As a solo girl traveler it was very disturbing n i kinda disappointed w the room management

Passable place with hole on the floor
Pros:

The location of the hotel is within walking distance from several places - Concubine lane will be within 10min walking.

Cons:

There was a whole on the wooden floor, the lobby has a weird mold smell and the hotel a night looks a bit sketchy.

Sensibles au bruit s'abstenir
Pros:

La chambre est spacieuse. Si problème, comme j'ai eu avec une fuite d'eau dans salle de bain, le personnel s'efforce de réparer dès que possible. Il y a un ascenseur donc avoir sa chambre au 3eme étage n'est pas rebutant.

Cons:

Le bruit de la rue, de la clim, de la tuyauterie est insupportable .
