"Its quite an old hotel, but still well maintained. The room is quite big. My only issue is the WiFi is very weak at the desk area, sometimes even no bar at all. Only when sitting beside the room door can I get 2-3 bar on my laptop wifi. The hotel location itself is good, many food and coffee places around and a hypermarket just next door. There's also a small mall nearby."
"Not a four star hotel by US standards by any means, the rooms were run down and I dreaded sleeping here the minute I walked in... The hallway had stained carpets, breakfast restaurant stained furniture and in general this property needs a full renovation. The iron boards in the rooms old, torn and filthy plus bathroom always low on toilet paper. I've traveled to many Asian and Muslim countries and this was by far in the worst condition. In general all the women I came across working here were kind and wonderful. The men, some nice others not so much and where I'll stop!"
"Good location. Ladies at the desk were very helpful. Good choice if you want something cheap. The room was in poor condition and needs a remodel. The wallpaper is peeling and there are stains on the carpet. "
"We chose this hotel for proximity to most things. Easy (normal Asian footpaths standard) walking distance to many attractions and shopping, either local shops or big malls. The waterfront is close by to get water taxis to Kampung Ayre. If there for a few days there is a coin laundromat just around the corner. There is a complimentary filtered water on each floor and there is a restaurant on site though so many choices within 5 mins walk. The room was on par for similar establishments though we found the bed extremely hard. Hotel does not have a pool or gym but provides complimentary access to a gym not too far away. There is a hotel shuttle that runs to a timetable at reception though we didn’t use it. Whilst it may not have the facade of the Empire, you can’t beat its location. "
