Havelock Place Bungalow is a lovely colonial-style house with character, a peaceful garden, and a small pool. The location is convenient — very central, with a grocery store right next door. Unfortunately, the property seems to have lost some of its former charm due to poor maintenance and slow service. Our bedroom had a musty smell, the curtain cord was drooping, and only a thin bedsheet was provided as a cover, which was inadequate for comfort. The bins in both the room and bathroom had no liners, which felt unhygienic. Housekeeping standards were disappointing — there was visible dust on the floors, and the bathroom didn’t feel properly cleaned. The toilet was particularly dated, with a worn and unstable seat and a very old flush mechanism that looked unclean. Breakfast service was extremely slow; even with advance notice, it took nearly two hours for something as simple as eggs and toast. Security could also be improved. The property is open to the street at all times, and there seemed to be a few male staff members loitering near the entrance and check-in area, which might make solo female guests uncomfortable. With better upkeep, hygiene, and management, this bungalow could easily regain its former elegance and charm — but as of now, it falls short of expectations.
