Pros:

Der Personal war wirklich sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend und die Anbindung an die öffentlichen Verkehrsmittel ist sehr gut.

Für die Verhältnisse in Singapur ist das Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis gut.

Cons:

Unser Zimmer war leider nicht sauber, es lagen viele Haare und Dreck auf dem Boden. Auch die Bettbezüge hatten viele Flecken, ich habe ein Handtuch zum Schlafen auf das Bettlaken gelegt.

Im Bad hat es leider ziemlich muffig aus dem Abfluss gerochen.

Good Value for the money. Still check all the details what you are getting into.
Pros:

location, cleanliness are very good. Alph and Malik were great hosts

Rooms are too small for multiple people. The room did not have a window, which was tough to get used to.

使い勝手がよい
Pros:

トランジットの為に利用しました。
部屋はとても清潔で綺麗です。スリッパ、歯ブラシもあり助かりました。もちろん部屋は狭く、窓無しは承知していたので問題ないです。何よりスタッフの方々がとても親切で非常に快適でした。

Cons:

シンガポールGPの日程と重なったため、価格が高騰。

Pros:

Enjoyed the charming ambiance and friendliness of the staff (especially Carole who handled check-in, and Pan who maintained the room during my stay). The bathroom facilities and amenities were very nice. Lots of mini-marts and dining options in a very picturesque area.

Cons:

The hotel is not very close to the MRT, which can be an issue if you are managing a bigger suitcase or multiple pieces of luggage in very warm weather. (However, the immediate neighborhood is lovely!)

Great location, friendly staff, and a very comfortable stay!
Pros:

My friend and I stayed here for 5 days and had a really nice stay overall! We arrived during the weekend, and the staff were kind enough to recommend some places and things to do around the neighborhood.

Location: We really liked the area! There’s a hawker center nearby, plus lots of affordable restaurants, cute/hip cafes, shops, supermarkets, convenience stores, markets, and money changers, so everything we needed was pretty much within reach. The area is also known for its colorful houses, which was nice to walk around and explore. Most places are around a 3–20 minute walk, depending on where you’re going.

Public transportation is also really easy. The nearest bus stop is just about a 3 minute walk, and there’s another one around 10 minutes away. We found it very convenient for getting around.

As for the hotel, we really liked how friendly and accommodating the staff were. One of the staff members is Filipino, which was a nice surprise and made us feel more comfortable. The Singaporean staff were also very nice and helpful throughout our stay.

Our room was clean whenever we requested housekeeping, and they were also kind enough to let us borrow an iron. The room temperature was comfortable, and the shower had good water pressure. The bidet had REALLY good water pressure too… maybe a little too good 😂

Overall, we really enjoyed our stay! The location was convenient, the neighborhood had a lot to explore, and the staff were all really nice. We’d definitely consider staying here again!

Cons:

Nothing major, really, except for the bidet in the bathroom. I found the water pressure a bit too strong 😅. That said, this seems to be something I’ve noticed in the two hotels I’ve stayed at in Singapore over the past 4 years, so it might just be a Singapore thing!

Great location, quiet at night, and good value for money.
Pros:

Great location in a charming historic and tourist district, surrounded by plenty of shops, restaurants, and local eateries. The entire street is worth exploring and is a great place for sightseeing.

Cons:

Since the hotel is housed in a historic building, the interior spaces are a bit cramped. The only other downside is that the nearest MRT station is a little far, about a 15–20 minute walk.

Small hotel in a classic building.
Pros:

Location with bus stop and food court nearby.

Cons:

Location because it is between Eunos and Payar Lebar train stations. That means not convenient if you need train. Super small room. Have difficulty opening and accessing the bathroom door because it is so close to the bed.
