The air conditioning was not adjustable. I seemed like I was in a refrigerator, it was so cold. the bedsheet had some stains I did not like. I hope they can improve the room cleaning a bit.

a cozy haven near little india

convenient locationexcellent cleanlinessdedicated servicehelpful staff
i found the location convenient, with easy access to restaurants and the vibrant little india shopping area (especially mustafa centre). the cleanliness was excellent. gui min ensured my room was super clean each day, a testament to their dedication. the front desk staff was always helpful and friendly, ready to assist with any questions i had.
i noticed that the walls could use a bit more soundproofing as noise occasionally traveled between rooms.
