We checked in on Dec 28 for US$218 for one night stay at the "Family Loft".
We got a room on the ground floor where you can hear the elevator "ding" when it arrives, and people walking across the lobby. The room has NO WINDOW. I was told there are rooms of the same type but they are not available at the period. The only ventilation is the air-conditioning which faces directly at the master bed on the upper floor. So you either freeze the people on the upper floor to death or you suffocate the person on the lower floor. The room is super tiny without enough area to open even one suitcase. I found ants in both sleep areas. The bathroom has no separation between the shower and the toilet.
This is not a "boutique" hotel. The setup is a budget hostel. There is no art or design that you'd appreciate. The only thing that associates with a "boutique" hotel is its price. If you were a budget traveler, this hotel is likely overpriced. You can definitely find similar price budget hotels that at least would give you a window. But if you actually have a larger budget but got misled by this hotel's "boutique" name and fish-eye photos on the website, you would be very disappointed.
The staff is helpful and friendly, being fair.
Stay away from this one: if you have the money, you will find this place disgusting. if you are on a budget, you will find this place over-priced.
Can't find a better hotel than Arton in this price
The hotel is very near the East West Line and Downtown Line, less than 8 mins walk. You can easily to find food shop surrounding the hotel. The staffs are all very friendly and helpful. The room is cleaned, no special smell but just a bit small. Special note the neighbor building is under construction, sometimes will have noise but still acceptable. I will recommend this hotel to all travellers
Cannot checkin on time thus contacted staff in advance for alternative arrangement which was soon replied with appropriate actions taken.
Hotel generally clean and tidy, does not stink, and offers great price for its value.
