Shopping was not much however.

It's within easy walking distance of the markets and restaurants however at this time of year we found it easier - and cooler - to simply take a tuk tuk, of which there are a number always waiting outside the hotel.

Location wise, the hotel is walking distance to Central Market and the garden in front of the Raffles.
