Ok to stay but not in the room to enjoy
Pros:

It's at the center of many things

Cons:

The smell of the pipe in the toilet. It's very bad and unpleasant. The room is extremely small, no place to put luggage. Coz there's no wardrobe. Everything is either put at the head of the bed or at the super small table.

Good For Stay Before Cruise
Pros:

It was easy to go to the Marina Cruise Port via MRT. There's an MRT Station which is located just opposite the hotel.

我喜歡這間地理位置佳的古典老旅館。價位若依照設備及清潔度，稍高了些、但我還是愛這間旅館、這是我第二次住、以後來新加坡我還會來住。
Pros:

櫃檯服務員

Cons:

浴室門邊內牆壁，肥皂都乾成一片粉了、都未清洗、只換宋單、未擦拭那麽好的古典家俱、置電視機的老櫃子𥚃外、舊不怕、但要每天擦拭灰塵。please

Pros:

都好

Cons:

房间太小 ，但是理解新加坡地理比较小，是接受的 。 同时因为政府规定必须封好窗口不能打开，是有点遗憾。 我们明白这不是酒店问题 。 纯粹只是一点点遗憾

Perfect location and kind staff
Pros:

Staff, service, location and size of room was perfect. The staff were professional but also kind. Will definitely stay there again.

Cons:

If I have to say something. The shower is right next to the toilet so the entire floor and toilet is covered in water if you have a shower. A mini fridge would be a bonus. These are minor things though.
