The hotel is so close to Chinatown, just by the metro station, making it super convenient. I enjoyed being surrounded by many Chinese restaurants. The rooms, though small, were clean and cozy. The service was efficient, and the check-out process was smooth. The housekeeping staff did an excellent job. The dining options were satisfying, especially the salads. However, the facilities were minimal. The pricing was reasonable, offering good value for money.

This hotel is a gem in the heart of Chinatown, with a great location close to many Chinese restaurants and convenient for exploring the city center. The rooms are small but clean and cozy, and the service, especially at check out, was top-notch. However, the lack of hot food items in the dining options was a drawback. Overall, a decent value for the prime location.

I had a pleasant stay overall at this hotel. The location was terrific, right in the center of town and very near to the MRT station. The rooms were cozy, but the tiny toilet was a bit inconvenient. The service was good, especially at checkout by the same staff member. However, the dining options were limited; I did enjoy the smoked salmon bagels. The facilities were satisfactory, and the price was reasonable.
