    We had a fantastic experience at the hotel. The room was incredibly spacious, easily accommodating seven people. The location was perfect, with Gurney Plaza right across the street, and a short walk to Gurney Drive for dinner. The facilities were excellent, and the staff was friendly and accommodating. They promptly addressed my request for early luggage storage. Overall, my family and I had a wonderful stay.

    I love the authentic traditional inn. It even has a rope pulley that helps to carry stuff to the upper levels! This inn is like a mini museum, among the artifacts are an ancient weighing machine and ancient manuscripts about traditional Chinese medicine recipe etc. The shower gel and shampoo smell heavily. Everyday a bottle of filtered water is brought to the room. The owners/staff are very obliging and friendly.. I really love my stay here :) Will definitely come back again
