The hotel is situated in the vibrantly colorful Little India area, offering easy access to Kampong Glam and a short walk to Lavender MRT station. The service was outstanding, with hospitable staff going above and beyond to ensure a pleasant stay. The dining experience, although starting a bit late for early risers, featured personalized efforts from the chef. The rooms, while compact as expected in Singapore, were beautifully designed and adequate in size for singles or couples.

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The room was a junior suite with a Phone and Data package available for free, which was very handy for exploring the city. It was excellent value, though it felt a bit stuffy to me. The service was top-notch, with friendly and helpful staff from check-in to accommodating our early arrival. The location was great for a weekend escape, close to delicious inexpensive Indian food in Little India and not far from other attractions like Kampong Glam and Lavender MRT station. The dining experience, although not buffet-style, was excellent, and the hotel had a warm and cozy ambience.

I loved the spacious room overlooking the courtyard, perfect for families, even though it lacked windows. The hotel offers a boutique feel with generous room layouts. Service was a bit slow at first but incredibly helpful and friendly once attended to. The location was fantastic for exploring, close to cultural sites and public transport. Dining was generally good, although an extra charge for additional guests was a downside.

I couldn't have asked for a better location for our stay! The hotel sits right in the heart of Little India, between Kampong Glam and Little India, offering a truly unique and vibrant setting. The service was top-notch, making us feel like part of the family rather than just guests. While the dining experience left a bit to be desired, the room's unique decor and amenities made up for it. Perfect for those seeking a special and out-of-the-ordinary experience.

Rooms

The rooms, although smaller compared to big chain hotels, were a true gem. Each room boasted wonderful original artwork, excellent amenities like gourmet coffee, and classic touches such as a circular dial 40's style phone. The zoned lighting added a cozy and elegant ambiance.
