My opinion:(Review is of in their old premises)

This place compared to other studios is like an Airbnb apartment compared to a hotel. You can’t have the same expectations. Firstly, the studio isn’t opened all day so you can’t just come in as you wish to chill. It’s like going to a person’s house – you need a prior appointment or you may not be able to enter.

The house is well, like a house. The shower room is the size of a bigger bathroom with 2 cubicles in it for showering and it is very humid due to lack of ventilation. However, I did like how better toiletries were provided. The bathroom looks exactly like a normal house’s bathroom, with things scattered all around.

The yoga room actually looked better in pictures. In reality, the condition isn’t pristine because they don’t have an in house cleaner, and it’s actually only the windows and curtains that looked good. The rest of the room was quite ordinary. The mats could do with better resistance but it’s still quite acceptable.
