My girlfriend and I visited the hotel from 12 to 14 May for a 3D2N staycation. When we arrived, we were greeted by the friendly staff and we were served a welcome tea as we checked in. We liked the room a lot (ours was the Deluxe Room), it had an exquisite oriental design and is beautiful. From our room, we could see the shops below and people watch. We also enjoyed a history tour of the hotel (it's free!). One thing to note is that the TV is a normal one (non-smart). So if you intend to screen shows from your laptop, be prepared you will need a cable. The channels are also limited, but we still enjoyed watching the History and Crime Investigation channels. Our stay came with breakfast at The Genius Central. It is a restaurant/café that mainly serve non-meat dishes. It is a little too healthy for my personal taste but I would say the food quality and service is good. The hotel is at a prime location, so you can be assured that you can easily find food and drinks.…
The hotel is situated within the renovated shophouses of Singapore early days that's been preserved as part of the heritage and well integrated into the current Far East Square as it is known today. Located a few minutes walk away from Telok Ayer MRT and nearby Amoy St as well as Chinatown where many great F&B outlets resides, it isn't much of an issue travelling around or finding the venue for your next meal. The oriental decors within is stands out pleasantly from the moment you arrive at the lobby, and we were pleasantly surprised by the welcome drink that was served to us in what resembled to those wine bottles and bowls used in ancient China. Rooms were very spacious and had the same oriental feel as well as elements of nolstalgia, ranging from the old school telephone to tingkats used to contain some snacks. Due to the way the hotel was built, we were informed that no rooms are identical in terms of layout. Since this staycation was for my significant other's birthday, there was this handmade souvenir they've prepared for her. with some personalised touch and a handwritten note. The hospitality and service shown by the staff throughout our 2 nights there were excellent, acceding to our requests and helping me out with some of these requests prior to our stay. Special mention to Bryan for the service before and during our stay too. The recently added heritage tour in the vicinity was a great eyeopener led by the manager Alvin, which we learnt a lot about the stories that came with the history of Singapore and hidden corners with paintings and murals. It definitely made it to the highlight of the stay. Will we come back for a stay? Definitely. With the great location, comfortable room and the superbly high standards of service that left us with such great memories, it's hard not to consider coming back for another staycation. For those who will like a change from those modernised hotel stay, do check this hotel out for yourself.…
Genuine place with a rich history. It is restored to an absolute comfort with friendly staff. Amoy street is located near number of hip bars and pubs that will your make your stay lively and vibrant. some other down to be point benefits: location is perfect, not too busy as it only has few rooms, kept clean and daily services.
Good location, very close the center, Marina Bay, etc., but still at a cozy, traditional place. Friendly staff. Clean facilities, well maintained. Many good restaurants and night life nearby. It can get quite loud at night as many bars and restaurants are just around the corner. Also the room was heating up a lot during the day.
Really cosy and comfortable room. The staff provided excellent service and we're very friendly and approachable. The location is also great, really close to the MRT and nearby malls. Couldn't recommend it enough :)
