I had a decent stay at The 5 Elements Hotel in Chinatown, but there were definitely some ups and downs. The location is super convenient, right in the heart of all the action, plus there are tons of food options nearby. However, my room could use some serious cleaning, which really affected my overall experience.

My recent stay at The 5 Elements Hotel in Chinatown was enjoyable, though there are aspects that could be improved. The location is fantastic, right at the heart of the bustling markets and within walking distance to the Pasar Seni MRT station. I found the room spacious and fairly clean, although I did notice some minor cleanliness issues. The breakfast was a highlight, offering a variety of tasty options. However, I did experience some cigarette smoke in the room which was disappointing.
