Just foot steps away from Chinatown MRT
Pros:

Just foot steps away from Chinatown MRT making convenient to explore Singapore with MRT. Also plenty of great dining options nearby.

Cons:

Room was quite smaller than I have expected. However understandable considering the price of Singapore.

A peaceful stay
Pros:

Friendly staff, everything you need in the room, quiet and a god location directly across from the mall and mrt.

Cons:

Bedsheets all were stained, not unclean just obvious previous stains on them so could do with updating them. And the toilet smelled pretty bad, I took to leaving the fan on overnight in there which made it a little better.

Absolut empfehlenswertes Hotel für Singapur
Pros:

Die fantastische Lage! Super zentral on Chinatown gelegen, Metro direkt vor der Tür.
Die Freundlichkeit des Personals.
Sehr leises Zimmer, obwohl an der Hauptstraße gelegen. Wir würden es aufgrund der Lage, des Preises und der ausreichenden Ausstattung jedem Urlauber für Singapur empfehlen. Wir waren während unserer Flitterwochen vor Ort.

Cons:

Keine direkt abgegrenzte Dusche vom übrigen Bad, aber aufgrund des Fußbodenheizung (??) Recht schnell wieder trocken, also absolut kein Minuspunkt.

I guess hotel rates have reached exorbitant levels in Singapore hence I thought I was visiting Tokyo
Pros:

location location and location

Cons:

size of the room particilarly the shower cubicle was non existent. Felt claustrophobic at times. No furniture to put stuff. The room was meant just for sleeping after a day spent outside.
