The cheapest rooms in heritage shophouses often don't have windows, so be sure to check the room photos and confirm the air conditioning works properly before booking. If you can visit midweek instead of on a weekend, you'll easily snag the exact same room at a much friendlier rate. Compare the weekday rates and browse bedroom photos before making your choice.
