The hotel's location is incredibly strategic, offering a walking distance to famous eateries and a short drive to Little India. The rooms, though smaller than anticipated, were surprisingly spacious and spotlessly clean, giving a fresh and modern feel. The service, especially the secure access and friendly staff, was welcoming and professional. While the dining experience was pleasant with clean facilities, the lack of nearby dining options near the bed was inconvenient. Overall, the hotel provides excellent value for money in a prime location with some minor inconveniences to note.
