Come here for some afternoon chilling coffee and tea with some friend. Overall ambience is cozy and warm with very authentic colonial design and well kept. Delicious Banana Juicy Walnut Cake With Crispy Apple Crumble that is drooling and melting into your mouth, simply awesome and appetising. 😋😋

Excellent stay! Rooms, food and decor are all first class. Great service too. The building is just beautiful and very colonial. Inside is surprisingly trendy but tasteful. The rooms smell so fresh and clean and are very well maintained. Our highlight has probably been their fine dining restaurant, which was first class! One of the best meals we have had. Need to turn down the air con though as it’s a bit on the chilly side. We have just extended our stay for another night! Highly recommended!

Tried 6 new menu items in cozy and casual ambience cafe. Fresh pear and pecan salad, cold tofu with ponzu, fresh seafood platter with sambal marination, tasty squid ink pasta, love the French fries too! Creamy cauliflower soup is so good, the clam in wine sauce is also good and fresh. Service is excellent as always. Afternoon tea set is cute and pretty, must book it in advance and try. Very recommended!

Went for breakfast with friends and had nice chit chat session. Had fruit crepe and long black, which is good and portion not huge. Comfortable setting and warm ambience with a feel of luxury. More food options for lunch though.
