The air-conditioned apartments have a fully equipped kitchen with a dishwasher and a microwave. Each apartment also has laundry facilities and a living room with a flat-screen TV.

Originally given a 3rd floor room, but the staff was able to get a 8th floor room with a back view of the city. The room was spacious, with provided amenties in the kitchen area and dining. The toilet's super clean too. Even though booked a one bedroom (no housekeeping), tourists can make a request for fresh towels and toilet amenties. In terms of location, very close to the Train Station (like just beside). For food, there are lots of cafes and eateries to try. Definitely worth staying and coming back again!

    An excellent job of honouring the history of the building through the features and interior design in the lobby and the rooms, with a modern influence in line with today's comfort and luxury standards. I was travelling for work and even felt compelled to work in the lobby given how nice the experience was. I stayed in another "4.5 star" hotel the night before and it didn't get close to the Savoy on any level (including price) - It really makes me wonder how the star rating system works as the Savoy is leagues ahead.

    Alto is such a friendly little boutique hotel in the city. It has authentic designer pieces, the friendliest staff who make you feel like you're staying at a friend's house and sparkling water on tap (ask for a bottle to fill up to take to your room). It's not perfect (the best homes aren't), but it's a lovely bolthole in an awesome section of the city. Plus, the facade is so gorgeous, and the breakfast is great (chef in the mornings).
