astro, benito is very new and they have king size bed. but i will pick shamrock over it, cos i love the location and the famous Australian dairy co, with the famouse scramble eggs is just behind. and i love the location/jordan mtr. but agree with u the deco really CMI, if u like tasteful deco, pls go to benito, benito has a bkaery next to it which is quite convenient too. actually both hotel is very convenient, MTR access just next to it, but i prefer shamrock location cos all the shops i frequent is near to shamrock.
Prudential is just opp shamrock, location wise is exactly the same. but Pru is more expensive and i read report of bed bugs in prudential thus dun dare to go there.
Shamrock has bathtub which benito do not have,. Pru also have bathtub. Its really up to u. but hor, i feel u are more a benito person..cos the plc classier for u lah and its TST side.. hahah, u can go my blog and look at the photos, look under 2009 i think.
go with benito, u won't regret, its a very nice boutique hotel.
