Our standard twin beds room is small, about 13 sqm. enough space for 2 carryon luggages. Only not much walking space. I booked this room as the price is low so I can’t complain. They do have bigger rooms available. Everything else was good. The bed is very comfortable and aircon is cool. The staff are courteous and friendly too. I also enjoyed the breakfast. It’s simple but tasty. The location is a big plus. The hotel has been upgraded so I would recommend this to my friends.

The location is very good for the event that I attended. I can just walk for 5-7 minutes from the hotel to All Saints Cathedral, and it's was help me cut the transportation cost. 1st night I can't sleep well because of the itchy on my body, and I believe the bedsheets was not clean. But thanks for the cleaners that the next day after I informed the cleaners and asked them to change my bedsheets, they responded well and I have a good rest well.
