Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms, although spacious and clean with a great view, were located at the far end of a long, dark corridor and had a dated European style. The staff, while generally friendly and helpful, were a bit careless with clearing utensils. The location was superb, with many amenities nearby. Dining was decent with a variety of options, but nothing exceptional.
My stay at the hotel was absolutely delightful! The rooms were nice and spacious, offering a fantastic view of the harbor. Although the decor seemed a bit outdated, the bed, pillow, and shower were incredibly comfortable. The service was top-notch, with staff going above and beyond to ensure my stay was perfect. The location was super convenient, although a bit of a walk to the MRT station. Dining was fantastic, with a huge variety of foods to choose from. Overall, a great experience with some minor room decor issues.
