My mum is teochew and 阿俊 our 师傅got along very well. We had also had 2 other very warm and friendly china companions during our trip. It was not a rushed trip and lunch recommended was fantastic. we thoroughly enjoyed the trip very much.

The location is perfect, right next to MixC in the downtown area. However, early in the morning, around 6 a.m. and 10 a.m., guests are very loud, and the soundproofing is terrible. Also, don't expect too much from the free late-night snack. When I went at 9:30 p.m. sharp, there wasn't even coffee available, which is laughable. There's a coffee machine, but it shows there are no coffee beans. They provide bottled water, plain porridge, and salted eggs, so I didn't even bother eating the free breakfast that came with the package. The room is normal, but the shower stall in the toilet is relatively old. Also, when checking in, they asked me to choose between the 3rd and 4th floors, so I naturally thought I'd choose a higher floor. When I went up, I realized that the 4th floor is where the restaurant and gym are located. I didn't want to go back down, so I just left it at that.

We had a fabulous day with our guide. He was so patient, kind, and helpful! I would absolutely book again next time we come back.
