“Best location , worth the money”
02 Sep 2025
Location , just opposite the Esplanade. 20 min Walkable to central station and 15 min to near by supermarket. Aquarium is also near like 5 to 7 min walk. 10 minute walk to Reef Terminal. It was really good area, with lot of food options. You can cook onsite with kitchen available. They have tie up with few places which gives you discount on food and drinks. Good to have onsite laundry facilities.
