Excellent experience. From check in where we were greeted with cold tea, very clean rooms though on small size (as advertised on the room description) beautiful design and materials. Very attentive staff. Great location near central market and temples in Chinatown. Lively area. Our corner room looked out over the intersection. Amenities including gym were very high quality. Restaurant was great as well.

Beautiful design but potentially noisy

Beautifully renovated and well located for chinatown. Liked the bar and breakfast. Didn't like that there were road construction works at 1am and when we complained, there was no apology, plus we had to demand a different room to sleep in because of the noise and the ground was vibrating!

Fantastic Modern hotel in China Town.

The hotel is a brutalist conversion of the old Lee Rubber building. the staff are fantastic and the rooms are large and modern. the bathrooms were a good size with huge shower. it was lacking wardrobe space, and the toilet was separate with a glazed wall, which if used at night lit up the whole room. the swimming pool was a good size with a great wine bar on the same level. The hotel restaurant was very good, but full of instagram wannabees. it seemed that most people turned up with large bunches of flowers and just wanted to take photos of food/flowers/themselves rather than eating. Good location, easy walking to the main sites of china town.
