9.4/10 Exceptional! (171 reviews)

Checkin process was very long and my key didn’t work - they forgot our door was malfunctioning and I received a physical key after two trips up and down. No cleaning service, they leave all supplies by the elevator. Clean, close to many attractions, front staff friendly and knowledgeable. Pretty far from subway station if you have to bring a lot of luggage (recommend taking a Grab/taxi).

This hotel was the most comfortable of all the places we stayed on our trip. The bed was so comfortable. The rooftop patio was such a welcome experience at the end of a busy day. The location was excellent and easy to get around to the various sites. The staff were amazing and we really enjoyed the meditation room. The bakery on site had fantastic coffee and both aweet and savoury treats.
