“This heritage-listed hotel places guests near the cultural heart of the city, within walking distance of Little India and Chinatown; however, alcohol is not sold on the premises. While the rooms are adequate and the WiFi reliable, breakfast service can feel impersonal when the hotel is busy; the driver, Bala, is consistently commended for exceptional service.”
