Hari Raya visit
Pros:

The room decor is beautiful. The window blinds also look fancy. The sink has two taps, one normal, one with filter for drinking. The beds and pillows are very comfortable. The reception staff are also very friendly and helpful, it's so sweet that they gave my kids a hari raya card each to fill out their wishes while i was doing the check-in. I also like that there are plenty of diverse guests coming and going, they also seem happy and smiling. seems to be a popular hotel with happy guests.

Cons:

There were only two power points, one for the mini fridge, which is closer to the beds, and one at the pantry beside the bathroom. We brought extension cables, so it's not much of an issue. We can't seem to get the filtered water tap to work independently of the regular tap, but singapore water is very clean, so not much of an issue either.

All in all, the stay was ok. I enjoyed my 2 nights there and the room served its purpose.
Pros:

I absolutely loved the location. The cleanliness, the convenience of being able to walk to the grocery, the barber shop was right next door, and TV in the room for my son.

Cons:

There could have been a chair in the room along with some small towels to shower or bathe with.. and how about a heating device to warm food.

Pros:

Price was good . Baggage storage facility was very good.

Cons:

Closest MRT is about 20 mins walking. Sound proofing is bad between rooms. A baby crying and some phones ringing woke us up. Most importantly there were no windows in the two rooms we had.

Convenient and affordable location to use for a night in transit in Singapore. Would stay again.
Pros:

Easy late checkin after a taxi over from Changi. Comfortable bed. Clean room. Affordable place to stay for a night in transit from Europe back to Australia. Walking distance back to the MRT for morning trip back to Changi.

Cons:

Combined toilet and shower area in the one room with no shower curtain. Was clean and perfectly fine, but a little inconvenient.

Great value and location, but keep an eye on the bathroom
Pros:

Prime Location: The hotel is situated in an excellent neighborhood. There are plenty of cafes and shops nearby, yet it doesn’t feel hectic or noisy. It’s actually quite peaceful and cozy.

Ambiance & Cleanliness: The hotel is very clean and has a lovely, charming interior design.

Affordability: For Singapore, the price is exceptionally low, making it a great budget-friendly option.

Cons:

Bathroom Inconveniences: The faucet was leaking constantly, and to stop the water from running, we had to reach under the sink and manually turn off the plumbing valve every time.

Shower Layout: When you take a shower, water immediately floods the entire bathroom floor — including the areas around the toilet, the sink, and the trash bin. Your slippers better not be on the bathroom floor!

Housekeeping Issues: On two consecutive days, we hung the 'Do Not Disturb' sign before leaving because we didn’t want anyone entering our room or cleaning it. Unfortunately, both times the staff ignored the sign and performed housekeeping anyway.

A good base to explore Singapore from using the excellent public transport network.
Pros:

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The location was quiet and roughly midway between the two nearest subway stations, about a mile from each, so a perfectly manageable walk if you're moderately fit. Bus stops were closer.
The surrounding area was quiet at night and had a good mix of shops and eateries nearby.
We found the bed comfortable and the aircon efficient and quiet.

Cons:

We had one of the budget rooms and were a little surprised that it had no outside window. This made mornings a little strange but otherwise wasn't a problem.
