Top hotels in Chinatown
Plantation Urban Resort & Spa
Super location, close to all historical places. The only issue we have, that they have 1 stop light in 2 kilometers. To cross the street you have to go one way than come back. Very dangerous traffic

The room was spacious and the hotel itself had very good amenities - a nice pool with loungers and seating, a lovely rooftop restaurant and the breakfast was good. The car you can book for taking you out to tours or for 1/2 day was very luxurious and comfortable. Very good value for what it ...
