Overall, I had a very pleasant stay here.
Ambience & Design
The hotel has a classic, old-world charm. Although the building shows its age, it has been very well maintained. The lobby looks elegant and gives off a premium atmosphere.
Service
One of the highlights of this hotel is the staff. Every employee I encountered was polite, friendly, and very helpful. Their hospitality made the stay even more enjoyable.
Facilities
The swimming pool is large and very clean. The gym is also decent for a hotel gym, although the weight selection is somewhat limited for those who prefer heavier training.
One small issue I noticed was that after it rained, I saw mushrooms growing along the corridor outside the rooms and there was a slight musty smell in certain areas. 😅
Room
I booked a sea-view room and the view was absolutely beautiful. The room itself was comfortable and well maintained. The only downside is the carpet, which makes the room feel a little dated. While everything appeared clean, the carpet looked worn and slightly stained.
Cleanliness: 4/5
Overall cleanliness was good and everything looked clean to the naked eye.
Breakfast
Breakfast was one of the better parts of the stay. There was a wide variety of choices, including Western, Indian, Malay, and Chinese dishes. However, if you arrive late, some popular items may already be gone. I missed out on the dim sum because it had run out by the time I arrived. 😅
Overall
The hotel is comfortable, well maintained, and located in a convenient area. Despite showing some signs of age, the excellent service and overall atmosphere made the stay enjoyable.
Overall Rating: 4/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐
A comfortable hotel with beautiful sea views, excellent staff, and a welcoming atmosphere. I would definitely consider staying here again.
