Unfortunately the view from our room was that of a dirty ledge and a huge building blocking everything else. It is a clean facility but quite worn with time. The staff tending the rooms were very friendly and welcoming.

The hotel is very well place for those wishing to explore the city. Little India and Chinatown are fairly close and that's a relief as there are no alcohol sales in the hotel for thirsty guests. This is not mentioned on any site to our knowledge. The rooms are fine, the wifi powerful, and the value is good, But when the place is full, a gloomy secondary dining room is used for breakfast that is huge and warehouse-like, with curtains firmly drawn to hide the dirty windows. Some tidying-up in the entrance (piano) area would make it look like the photo on their website too. It just needs a manager with sharper eyes. The hotel driver, Bala, deserves a medal for fine service.
