"The hotel is very well place for those wishing to explore the city. Little India and Chinatown are fairly close and that's a relief as there are no alcohol sales in the hotel for thirsty guests. This is not mentioned on any site to our knowledge. The rooms are fine, the wifi powerful, and the value is good, But when the place is full, a gloomy secondary dining room is used for breakfast that is huge and warehouse-like, with curtains firmly drawn to hide the dirty windows. Some tidying-up in the...

"Absolutely unique experience staying at this historical jewel. It felt like we were transported to more than a century ago but with contemporary amenities. The service was excellent and full of little surprises every day. This place is meant for those who appreciate wabi-sabi since it is a heritage site. Therefore, soundproofing is not great. We could hear traffic noise and nearby live band performance, and birds chirping. None of it hindered our experience staying here. However, the heavy...

"We had a fantastic stay at this beautiful and cozy hotel. The staff is phenomenal and each person made us feel welcomed. The breakfast was delicious giving us the energy we needed for long days of touring the city. A special treat was coming back and having a dessert left in the fridge for us to enjoy before settling in for the night. And we got so many wonderful recommendations for sightseeing and restaurants to check out. This place is truly a gem and I’d be thrilled to have a second stay on...
