if you want to be next to Jonker Street and near the red church or Hard Rock the location is perfect. It is a basic shophouse, no lift, safe or fridge but clean and adequate. Mostly quiet with comfortable beds and private shower room. Limited parking but on CCTV and opposite a tourist police station. Great prices and staff were all very friendly and enormously helpful! We took two rooms and would go back again.

Overall stay was pleasant, except for the super high staircase steps which could hurt my knees when climbing. It was bad building structure to build each staircase step so high up. Also, hotel is rather stingy with their toiletries. They dun provide hand nor face towels nor toothbrushes etc. When I requested for an extra towel, I was told that the next day I could only have 1 new towel change since the today I had 3 towels. Wow....

Fantastic location. Views of the river. Right opposite the Police Station. Across from Sid's Old English Pub. My suggestion is to upgrade to the best rooms. Standard rooms are a little bland with no views. Would stay again just because its well priced and in an excellent location. One minute walk to Jonker Street.

The room was stuffy, air conditioner not working makes the situation even worse. The night staff didn’t believe the ac wasnt working without even checking it himself. Manage to change to a different room anyways. Next day during checkout, the receptionist told us that we havent paid for the room when actually expedia has collected our payments. During the arguement i showed the receptionist our prove of payment, suddenly she change her claims that it was only the rm2 tax wasnt paid yet. I wouldn’t recommend anyone staying at this place.

The place is a bit run down for the price. The biggest turn off is the water dispenser in the lobby with the sign "STAFF ONLY". Really? You won't let your guests refill their water bottles in the lobby of the hotel they're staying in?! The bathroom sink leaked. The wifi simply stopped working from 12am - 8am. The water pressure in the shower varies from medium to dripping. On the plus side, the location is great and the air conditioning is cold.

For the price you pay, it is as good as it gets. Comfortable with basic needs covered. No in-room coffee/tea facility. No lifts/elevators either. So be prepared to walk up to flights of stairs if your room is on the second floor. If you're planning to drive there, parking is limited. Great location though for shopping on Jonker Street. Excellent pub called Sid's just across the road. Short walk to historical Stadhuys and the Fort.
