Pros:

Lepszej lokalizacji nie da się wymarzyć - 3 minuty do metra, pelno restauracji wokół, 7/11 parę kroków od drzwi wejściowych do hotelu

Cons:

Jeśli ktoś oczekuje wysokiego standardu pokoju, raczej tu tego nie znajdzie. Jest to typowa baza wypadowa, aby się przespać, umyć i z rana wyruszyć

Nie polecamy
Pros:

Jedyny plus tego hotelu to lokalizacja.

Cons:

Hotel wymaga odnowienia, z klimatyzacji śmierdzi, w pokoju też jest nieprzyjemny zapach, gdy wyjechaliśmy z tego hotelu wszystkie ubrania śmierdziały tym pokojem:( Cena bardzo wysoka jak na takie warunki. Z klatki wentylacyjnej cały czas zlatywał kurz.

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.
