The shower looked like something out of a school changing room and had mould growing at the side of it. I'd think twice about stepping into the bathtub...The rooms felt quite dusty too and in need of a good clean.
If I recall, the rates aren't that different from something like Anantara, Park Hyatt, Raffles etc which is insane.
Heritage Suites certainly looks intriguing in the photos (which is why I went over to visit), but I don't think I could recommend it to anyone I know! I didn't even bother taking any photos.
Again thanks
chinmoylad, it's good to receive such insights here on FT.
I remember when this particular hotel a few years ago was a member of Relais & Chateaux for a while.
Equally, I wonder how the Raffles at this location would compare to other Raffles properties incl. Singapore for example.
Cheers & Safe Travels. ^
