Easily one of the worse hotel we’ve stayed so far. Not worth the price, only benefit was it was central and service was friendly. Stayed in family room, the sofa bed was put in weird angle, room became so tight it was hard to walk pass, the bathroom got mould everywhere on shower area, and u have to climb on top of bathtub to shower, hazard waiting to happen, the tap was too deep, from the sink, everytime u wash hand, the water splash everywhere.. the shower screen doesnt cover the area, everytime u shower, the floor definitely wet.. and have to put the slippers a bit far or it will be wet.. furniture look cheap and the sofa bed that i slept on was the worse of the worse, it was not even, half top was higher than the half down and the housekeeping didnt even help to fix it, or myb it was already broken in the first place. so many other thing if i have to mention one by one, the good thing abt the room was the slippers.. it was thick and comfy. I wont come back to this hotel even if its free.

This is a pretty decent hotel, about what I would expect for a four star. Despite being in a busy area, it wasn't overly loud. The room itself was comfortable and they have great complimentary slippers. Check in took a lot longer than I would have liked, but beyond that, I had no issues.
