I probably would not return
Pros:

Self catering.
Room very small
Adequately clean.
Not quiet.
No lift. I was directed to a staircase to carry case up a flight of stairs (difficult with a disability)
A pool of stained water appeared during the night from under the door. I don’t know if it was dripping from the air con, or it came from outside. Floor was stained

Cons:

Not a peaceful stay. Could hear neighbours, doors banging

Quiet, convenient location, friendly staffs, and comfortable, well‑equipped room
Pros:

I recently completed my second stay at Habyt Novena, and once again it exceeded my expectations. The location is incredibly convenient yet peaceful, with Zhongshan Park just steps away and easy access to both MRT and bus routes.

The staff — especially Jonathan and Qai — were outstanding. They were consistently friendly, helpful, and attentive, offering room assistance and thoughtful advice that genuinely made my stay more enjoyable.

The room itself was well‑equipped, and the furniture provided was comfortable and practical. Overall, Habyt Novena continues to be a reliable and welcoming place to stay.

Cons:

NA

Good for a solo staycation to get away from the yokes of life
Pros:

I enjoyed the moments of peace while relaxing in my room. The area is also nice and quiet while the amenities are accessible. The in-room facilities (air-con, TV, private toilet, heater) are also in good working condition. There's also a small fridge and an induction stove to do your own cooking. Kitchen utensils are also available in the room. The windows are sound-proof. There was a heavy rain with thunder on one of the days and I could barely hear the roar of the thunder in the room.

The room I stayed in is big enough for 1 person.

Cons:

Just no kitchen towel to dry my utensils after washing. Have to resort to using toilet paper to wipe some dry. :'D
Took it out from the bathroom and placed it at the kitchen counter.

It served as a place to sleep and it was fairly clean.
Pros:

The location

Cons:

Extremely small. Nowhere to hang or unpack clothes or store suitcases that we constantly had to move to get into bathroom or out of the door. Had to carry heavy suitcases to 4th floor because there was no lift. No-one on reception on arrival or departure so didn’t meet anyone.

Good, if your purpose is to have a place where to stay and rest
Pros:

Reasonable price

Cons:

The room and desk in the room were too narrow, not suitable if you expect a place where not only to stay but also do some office work, at least not for me.

It was a comfortable room, however due to the loud noise from outside. It made sleeping slightly uncomfortable.
Pros:

The studio provided utensils and such which was convenient, while the staff was nice.

Cons:

Constant door slamming or voices from the outside can be heard quite loudly
