I had a unique experience at this hotel. The restroom with a city view was a standout feature, and they even had complimentary lollies in the room. However, the room design seemed focused solely on sleeping, lacking a comfortable reading chair and adequate reading lighting.

The hotel offers excellent room quality with lovely historic touches and a fantastic view, but the faulty appliance needed fixing. The service is exceptionally friendly and helpful, extending a late check-out offer with a smile. The location in the vibrant Katong district is perfect for food lovers, though exploring beyond the downtown area may require transportation. The dining experience is extensive and delicious, with a mix of local and international flavors. Overall, a great stay with minor room maintenance issues and slightly secluded location.
