This four-storey city hotel forms part of Singapore's conservation plans to preserve the old world charm that still exists amid the rapidly changing skyline of modern Singapore. The façade of the hotel, which is typical to old Chinatown, is well preserved and complements the contemporary decor inside the building, complete with lift access. It comprises a total of 42 rooms. Facilities include an entrance hall with 24-hour reception, a hotel safe, a currency exchange facility and a laundry service (charges apply). Located at the lobby level is the Business Centre, which offers telefax, photocopying and secretarial services, and a vending machine providing hot and cold beverages. Though the hotel does not have a restaurant, there is a breakfast corner where guests can help themselves to coffee, tea, juice and toast. Being a heritage building, the hotel has to comply with the conservation requirement in keeping the 2 panel wooden front door, which separates the hotel from the busy street outside. The automatic wooden door opens up to a small cosy lobby with the receptionist welcoming you on your arrival. It has yellowish white marble flooring and reception counter. There are rooms to the left and right with settees and dining tables for meals or just lounging around. A small elevator sits next to the reception.

The hotel is located along Teck Lim Road, within the Central Business District. It is right at the heart of Singapore's most historic, colourful and well-known area - Chinatown. Within walking distance (5 min) is the Outram Park Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) system. Within a 5-10 minute walk from the hotel are Chinatown Complex, the New Bridge Centre and the People's Park, a well known budget shopper's paradise. The hotel is a 10-minute drive from Keppel train station, a 15-minute drive from the Singapore Cruise Centre and a 20-minute drive from Changi International Airport.

The hotel has a breakfast corner where guests can help themselves to toast and coffee, tea, or juice, as well as a vending machine providing hot and cold beverages. The hotel is also surrounded by local eateries and roadside food stalls.
