I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were a bit old but spacious, beautiful, quiet, and comfortable. They were also very clean, although being right across from the elevator was a downside. The service was top-notch, with kind and helpful staff making my stay enjoyable. The location, though a bit of a walk from the Metro, was great for those driving, offering convenience and proximity to attractions. The dining experience, while self-service, was suitable for a business trip and provided a great selection of Asian and continental options. The facilities were adequate, earning a good rating.

The hotel has seen better days but still maintains a certain charm. The rooms, though not up to 5-star standards, were clearly lovely in the past. Despite my room being near the elevator, it was surprisingly big and quiet. The service was generally good, especially with the doorman, although I encountered an issue when booking. The location is super convenient, with easy access to the Farmosa MRT station and the lively Liuohe night market. The dining options were good, with a great variety of Asian and continental dishes.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of good and not-so-good experiences. The room was spacious, comfortable, and good value for money, although it could really use some renovation, especially the bathroom. The noise from the surroundings and the presence of dust were a bit bothersome. The service was generally pleasant, but I noticed they were not very patient with table cleaning. The location was very central and convenient, despite some cleanliness issues on the 20th floor.
