Ok but not as appears
Pros:

Perfect location right opposite train station that took us everywhere. Quiet building, staff were lovely.

Cons:

Room wasnt as it appeared in photos, it wasnt terrible but not as clean, new and well furnished.
Bed was horrible, like sleeping on a rock.
Breakfast was often all nearly gone and quite minimal, unless you like carbs there isnt a lot.

A fantastic base for exploring Singapore on the outskirts of the main city area.
Pros:

Location was just outside of the main city area within 20 minutes walking or a few stops on the MRT, the MRT station was directly opposite the complex making life easy. We were in a self catering apartment which had all of the equipment to make it a comfortable base. The apartment was comfortable, clean and well maintained with a nice roof top pool. Zak on reception was a very helpful guy and an asset to the place, in fact all of the staff were great but Zak helped us when needed.

Pros:

Очень удобная локация с магазинами, различными кафе. Рядом метро. Персонал очень дружелюбный, уборка апартаментов каждый день со сменой белья, что не во всех сервис апартаментах обычно имеется. Апартаменты хорошо убираются персоналом. С удовольствием буду рекомендовать данное место.

convenient location with an apartment setting is a great destination.
Pros:

very comfortable apartment, with a separate living space and fully functional kitchen area. Bedroom was comfortable and very quiet with great curtains. Good bathroom with great shower.

Cons:

wish the living room furntiure would have been a bit more comfortable (higher off the groud) and another chair would have been nice.
