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.

Pros:

I really enjoyed my week-long stay at hotel venue classic. The staff were incredibly friendly, I was attended to by Alph, Jeff and Malik throughout my stay. The hotel is at a great location as it was close to a 24hr hawker center, convenience store, laundromat, a short walk to the paya lebar train station and had several different bus stops nearby. This was a great affordable option for my first time Singapore, and I plan to stay again next time I visit.

Good value, clean/modern, great staff, small room but location is good
Pros:

Room whilst small was well maintained and modern. Location is ideal very close to many cafes and food outlets. Walking distance to MRT, plenty of buses nearby.

Cons:

Room size is challenge with very little hanging space. We had a bit of luggage but managed to work it out over the 8 day stay

Pros:

En transit entre Europe et indonesie, nous avons décidé durant cette longue escale avant notre vol du lendemain matin de visiter Singapour. Le personnel nous a expliqué où aller. L'hôtel est à 10 minutes à pied du métro. Nous n'avons pas pris l'option petit déjeuner (vol à 7h). Parfait pour une nuit.

Pros:

Alph, the host with the most. He was extremely helpful with everything, from giving up tips and tricks, to commute, to wanting to findout what we had in store for the day and guiding us through. Toh kept our room extremely clean and Jeff was really kind and helpful all evening.

The rooms are exactly as shown in the pictures, the location had eateries and the morning bus stop was close by. For the money and country, this was value for my money.

Cons:

For Singapore standards, this was really worth the money. Since I got a room with a window, I kept wondering if the window was one way since they use blackout blinds, which made the room a little dark for my liking during the day

Value for money.
Pros:

Πολύ καθαρό, προσφέρει ακριβως ότι υπόσχεται.

Cons:

Ο υπάλληλος της reception που μας υποδέχθηκε δεν ήταν και ο πιο ευγενικός άνθρωπος του κόσμου, αντίθετα η κοπέλα το πρωί στο check out πολύ ευγενική.
