Stayed in a club room. Very easy checkin via the club lounge. Room was clean and comfortable and quiet. View over the river from the club lounge was beautiful. Cocktail hour 5-7pm had good quality food, including local food options to try, and reasonable quality wines. Direct access to shopping mall and easy walk to Chinatown and restaurants

The hotel is connected to the shopping mall so it's really convenient. We really enjoyed the club lounge (staff there is really nice!) and they even provide the airport transfer for free which is a big plus. We didn't expect too much of the hotel but the hotel is much nicer than the photo on their website. We strongly recommend to stay the club room if your budget allowed.

Great location

Great location and very helpful staff. Rooms are looking a little dated but they are large and very comfortable. Great bed. Very good breakfast. A little black mould around the shower that should be removed. But this is a minor flaw for an otherwise excellent hotel.
