Welcoming and attentive concierge service by the hotel staff. Nice mod design vibes. Just need to fix the slightly faulty door lock for Room 307 and the bottom decal decor on the door of the room opposite 307.

This is our 2nd time staying at this hotel. We love this hotel. Even though the air con in one of the room is not working well, we are happy with our stay. Service is excellent. Thank you for making our stay so pleasant.

What a great location! Shopping malls, food, train, hop on hop off starting station. And did I mention food - Jalan Alor, Damascus… The room is smallish, lacks places to keep your belongings but we’re talking trade offs here for a reasonably priced, clean, modern hotel in this location. Traffic can be crazy. Staff was great. Breakfast was good with good variety.
