Hotel 1929

The location was excellent, in a beautiful neighbourhood of Chinatown appx. one block from the MRT and near a handful of hawker centres. Most staff members were generally helpful, especially in arranging outings and directing guests to city services, and the breakfast staff did their best to handle the crowd. The free drinks and local telephone calls were also a nice feature. As others have mentioned, the rooms are quite small--even doubles. Whilst this may not be an issue for couples or families, it might be for groups or friends. The bed does occupy most of the room space, though it does mean a good night's sleep. It would have been nice if the adjacent restaurant had not closed so early and been closed on Sunday. We also did not see the rooftop jacuzzi--not clearly marked for access.

The staff were helpful and friendly and spoke good English and the breakfast was quite good We had a deluxe double and the bed was really too small for two people but ideal for one person. You also have to be very comfortable with the person you're staying in the room with as it's very small and you don't get a lot of privacy in the bathroom! It was also very noisy (drunk people on sat night/sun morning and bells in the temple/church sun morning) so we didn't really get any sleep at all!

Very pleasant reception staff on arrival and allowed a much appreciated early check-in. Very comfortable bed and great shower. Good location of hotel but expensive compared with other boutique hotel;s in that part of town, but then it was the Grand Prix weekend.. although the rac rates are high for what is provided, its a very good budget hotel, but not a budget price!. Rooms really are very small, with 2 people, no surface on which to put anything, not even a table or flat surface beside the bed.. in the same space, room could have been better laid out, but it was stylish!
