Cons:

Leider war das unser Hotelzimmer, in welches wir eingecheckt hatten wirklich KOMPLETT mit schimmel verseucht. Ich habe so etwas noch nie erlebt und verstehe nicht wieso so ein Zimmer noch an Gäste vermietet wird. Ich habe es daraufhin natürlich sofort bei der Rezeption gemeldet.
Wenigstens war der Herr an der Rezeption wirklich äusserst hilfsbereit und hat sich sofort um ein neues Zimmer gekümmert. Wir haben dann ein ‘besseres’ bekommen, zwar kein Schimmel aber die Grösse des Raumes war wirklich wie ein Schuhkarton.

Die Lage war zwar top, aber ich würde hier nicht noch einmal herkommen, das geht wirklich gar nicht und ich hoffe, dass sie etwas dagegen unternehmen.

Pros:

Essendo Singapore una città molto costosa, credo che a questo prezzo non si possa pretendere molto di più

Cons:

La nostra camera puzzava di fumo e muffa, ed era davvero minuscola, a stento si riusciva a passare tra il letto e il muro.

Pros:

The location Is great and It Is also an added value to have filtered tap water in the room.
It is a good place for a quick stopover in Singapore (or for a longer stay if you do not plan to spend any time in the room).

Cons:

The room is quite small for two people and there is barely any space for lthe uggage (the room size is correctly indicated in the description, but pictures may be a bit misleading).
The walls and the door are quite thin, so you can hear all the noises from other rooms and corridors.
The room was rather basically clean (there was a lot of dust and dirt under the bed even if cleaning was done daily).
