    Perhaps the toilet needs to be renovate as it is quite outdated.

    Great location and also the size of the room is amazing! The breakast was really good too as the options are very local oriented!

    Great location. Easy to access anywhere in town.

    Room is nice and clean. But very thin wall. I could hear the whole conversation of the customer next to me. Unfortunately, the swimming pool was under repair or closed (as of April 2024).

    Good location! We can access to the Jonker street and Dutch square easily. It was also good that the river was behind the hotel. Friendly staff. About break fast, few various but taste nice. we could choise fried egg, omelet, scrambled egg and ham, sausage. breads and coffee, tea too.

    A bit strange not having a real window. There was a window look-a-like, a dummy one. Didn’t realise that the room we booked had no window.

    The decoration and colour scheme. Blend nicely

    The place needs some maintenance,it's a bit dated. The breakfast was very simplistic with not a lot of variety. The pool needs to be fixed as it would be an amazing addition to the property

    The location is amazing, it's right on the river. The house is absolutely beautiful and it's lovely seeing all the antique furniture. Lovely staff who were very helpful. The room is very big,more than enough space for two people.

    Room and hotel corridors are in a rough condition. Lots of marks on the walls and stains on the carpet and ceiling. Pool wasn’t open, apparently under maintenance but no work was being done on it while we were there. A quick search on booking.com shows it has been “under maintenance”for over 2 years. Breakfast is not good, very limited options (no fruit, no pastries). Pancakes were clearly reheated and tasted pretty stale. Service from staff was overall good but certain interactions were a bit unfriendly - came home from a day out and said hello to the female receptionist and she didn’t even look up.

    Comfortable bed and good air conditioning. Bathroom was clean with good shower. We had an internal room so no natural light but it meant the room was quiet.

    Unfortunately, the swimming pool was no longer operational. Also, we don't understand why hand towels are not provided, only bath towels. In the room, additional hooks can make hanging clothes easy and comfortable.

    I liked that the elements of the original design of the old Peranakan house were well preserved. The hotel is conveniently located in Chinatown, with access from the street and the Riverwalk. The room was comfortable, with a lot of space and a great bathroom. The staff was very polite and helpful.

    Beautiful interiors, great location, didn't return the deposit
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Classic Room
    • Stayed 2 nights

    Didn’t return the 50 rm cash deposit to me, probably the receptionist just forgot to hand over the money, later the hotel denied everything. They charge the tourism tax separately, I wanted to pay by card and the receptionist said that he needs to manually input my card details into the system, even though the payment was through a terminal - this was so strange. There is no lift so you have to carry your luggage up the narrow stairs. Walls are very thin and I could hear what my neighbours were saying (even though they were not shouting). I booked a room with no window (I knew it) and it wasn't as bad as I expected, maybe because I was outside throughout the day anyway.

    Beautiful interiors in common spaces, it’s a traditional Chinese house. Spacious room and bathroom. There is a small breakfast included in the price, it includes a hot dish (eggs or pancakes). The hotel is located right by the river, you can exit to the riverwalk from the back door and enjoy walking there. It’s close to all main sights. Late check in (close to midnight) wasn’t a problem.

    A coat of paint would freshen up the room and bathroom but this is a really minor issue.

    Nice staff. Good location. Nicely decorated in an authentic local style. Quiet room. Nice complimentary breakfasts with local flair on weekends.
