Super Lage. Gestank im Zimmer katastrophal
Pros:

Die zentrale Lage hat 5* der Gestank im Zimmer war unerträglich . Modrig, schweissig, muffig.
Dabei waren Boden. Vorhänge, Betten , Laken usw. alle gut im Geruch. Wir vermuten, dass der Filter vom Aircon voll Gestank ist und diesen weiter gibt.
Wir bekamen einen Luftentfeuchter. Keine wirkliche Besserung. Wir mussten die Zimmertüre zum Flur die halbe Nacht offen Lassen um Frischluft zu bekommen.
Das gehört sofort geändert

Cons:

Der Gestank im Zimmer

Good location, kind staff, small rooms, moldy air
Pros:

Great location, kind staff! I found my room to be very quiet, not being able to hear outside traffic or neighboring rooms.

Cons:

The room was small, and because I had booked the windowless room, upon seeing the room, I decided to upgrade to one with windows, which is recommended! It gives the room more space and life. My wife and I had trouble breathing as we slept, we suspect it's due to the dusty AC or mold in the room (which I guess is not too uncommon in typical humid Singaporean rooms.
