Cons:

Είναι πολύ μακριά από το κέντρο και η γειτονιά δεν έχει μαγαζιά γύρω αν θέλεις να αγοράσεις φαγητό

i m enjoyed the stay and felt so good in this trip.
Pros:

Overall, I really liked the room! However, the bathroom had a few issues. The bidet was leaking and soaking the floor, which created a slippery hazard. Additionally, a slightly wider shower screen would help prevent water from splashing onto the toilet floor.

Cons:

I am very grateful that all the breakfast items were clearly labeled! As a pure vegetarian, it made it so easy to know what I could eat, and I really enjoyed the meal. My only suggestion for improvement would be the porridge, as it was a bit too watery and lacked texture. It would also be great if breakfast hours could be extended to 10:30 AM, as guests returning late from evening activities don't always wake up early.

Stay was most affordable in Singapore
Pros:

Staff were friendly.
Breakfast buffet was generous.
Room size was fine for my needs.

Cons:

The corridors and doors could be noisy in the mornings. There were small insects in my bathroom around the drain. A maid left my door open during my stay after cleaning it accidently but I received a sincere apology.
