Nice choice of hotel. Unique compared to the usual chain most of us here stay at.
It's actually IN Chinatown albeit on the far end. Just a few blocks to walk to the heart. Where its located; Keong Saik Street; used to be very much a red-light district but its been rather much cleaned up now. There are some nice eating places along that street. As its getting close to Chinese New Year, it can be a bit noisy but should be OK. I'm quite sure it'll be safe.....take it from a local.
