It’s fine
Pros:

The location is good. There are restaurants and shops around the area and bus stops are like 3 mins and 5 mins away. MRT is 10 mins away. Very quiet place.

Cons:

The staff were not so friendly. The room was old but bathroom was newly renovated. Room rates are too expensive

Cons:

The AC in the room was set in a place that directly hit the face. The AC temperature and movement were out of control. The bed sheets and towels were very dirty. I have never seen such a clean and neat bathroom in any hotel. The window frame was broken

Terrible, regret booking this hotel
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

The accommodations were significantly below standard. The room showed signs of severe neglect, including peeling plaster, unfinished paint, and a rusted door lock. Furthermore, the linens had a noticeable odor that felt unhygienic, and the lack of soundproofing made for an incredibly disruptive stay.

Quarto básico por um preço elevado que não justifica
Pros:

Boa localização próximo de muitos restaurantes e com fácil acesso aos transportes públicos.

Cons:

Quarto pequeno, sem janela e com o básico (cama, casa de banho, uma mesa pequena e uma cadeira), Não tinha frigorifico nem mesa de cabeceira. O preço foi claramente elevado para a qualidade do quarto!
