I had a very nice stay at the Vagabond about 6 months ago. Excellent breakfast. And it is easy enough to get to the MRT from there. The hotel is quirky, but in a nice way. One benefit no one has mentioned is that the hotel has several (4?) sets of walking maps that they will give you if you ask. They will take you to many of the sights and some good restaurants. So good that I kept mine for my next trip -- which is already booked back at the Vagabond. I also stayed at the Tang Plaza on that trip and while the location was also good, I found it a more impersonal stay.
