An old hotel that had underwent upgrades and become a modern establishment but maintaining old school flavours. Large rooms and bathroom with jacuzzi. Central in location and walkable to all the attractions. Excellent hotel to stay.
Yew Seong, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Space enough for 5
A great location with everything we needed in walking distance. Very comfortable beds. As a family of 5 we did have to call reception each day for towels as not enough were left. But they arrived very quickly when we did. Lovely staff. Would happily stay again.

The location is ideal and the staff could not have been any more helpful.
