This is an old hotel. But it’s very charming. Not 5* but still good. Staff were all lovely. Breakfast buffet is amazing. The gym is good. The pool Is a nice environment but the water was cold. We enjoyed the pool bar a lot with a great view over the river. It’s a well located hotel and the trips all pick up here. Room was large and comfortable. Shower was excellent. We’d definitely stay again.

Stayed in a club room. Very easy checkin via the club lounge. Room was clean and comfortable and quiet. View over the river from the club lounge was beautiful. Cocktail hour 5-7pm had good quality food, including local food options to try, and reasonable quality wines. Direct access to shopping mall and easy walk to Chinatown and restaurants

Great location

Great location and very helpful staff. Rooms are looking a little dated but they are large and very comfortable. Great bed. Very good breakfast. A little black mould around the shower that should be removed. But this is a minor flaw for an otherwise excellent hotel.

The hotel is connected to the shopping mall so it's really convenient. We really enjoyed the club lounge (staff there is really nice!) and they even provide the airport transfer for free which is a big plus. We didn't expect too much of the hotel but the hotel is much nicer than the photo on their website. We strongly recommend to stay the club room if your budget allowed.
