Recently refurbished spacious modern rooms within a members only exclusive club. Very clean. Dusty areas at the exterior of the accommodation building due to ongoing construction work nearby (presumably temporary). Great central location and reasonable price.
Breakfast included but buffet needs a bit more variety. The main club house building has seen better days and needs refurbishment. However, the old colonial charm still exists. Strict dress code to enter club house.
Staff mostly helpful. Appreciate this is a members only club but staff need to be aware that non members may be staying in accommodation at the invitation of members. Especially security came across rude at times as we did not have a membership card. They should not assume guests are trespassing just because they don’t carry a membership card.
WiFi was a bit sketchy at times and requires new login details daily to be obtained from reception for the duration of the stay which can be a hassle. Only one key per room. When requested was told no extra keys can be provided. No lift in accommodation building; so staff having to carry very heavy suitcases up the stairs.
Overall, accommodation given service is 3 star at best but clean, new rooms and ensuite bathroom maintained to a good standard and includes the usual 3 star + amenities (tv, safe, phone etc), good AC, access to members pool, reasonable price and very central location. Hospitality training for staff is recommended with better WiFi...

Additional Facilities like Department stores, large multi-cuisine restaurant, bowling alley etc have been outsourced and can be accessed from outside. These two Clubs are at two ends of the spectrum of old time antiquity on the one end and modernity at...
