I recently stayed at The Inn At Temple Street and found it a mixed experience. The location is fantastic, right in the heart of Chinatown, making it easy to explore. However, the room had a musty smell and felt outdated, which really affected my comfort. The service was friendly, but the lack of a lift made navigating the stairs with luggage a hassle.

My room was quite small and had a strong musty odor. The decor felt tired and in need of refurbishment. Although it had air conditioning, it was older style and noisy, making it hard to sleep comfortably. The bathroom drainage didn’t work well either.
