Pros:

The location is excellent within the New Bahru precinct which is near Robertson Quay on the River as well as the stunning Fort Canning Park (administered by the Botanic Gardens). The accommodation is in a repurposed school block and our room had plumbing problems which was frustrating. However, the staff were very helpful and we were moved to a new room. The room was pleasant, clean and spacious but it was a long walk to reception and the lifts. Overall it was a good stay and we would use Alma House again.

Cons:

Our room was a long walk from reception and the lifts.

Nice apartment with great service.
Pros:

This was a very nice little hotel. The apartments were very nice for a short stay. The location was quite good and there were lots of restaurants and cafes right on the site. The staff were very, very helpful and nice.

Cons:

Beware of the washing machine, which also has drying functions! I washed some clothes the evening before my flight and they were not 100% dry in the morning, so, I stuck them in the washing machine/dryer to dry them a bit more. The machine was on an automatic drying regime and chose to dry my clothes for a few hours, but this was not necessary and I was leaving for the airport. I tried opening the door to the machine but it wouldn't open. I stopped the machine but no luck. So, I waited a few minutes. Still no luck and the door would not open. I then called the front desk and they told me that the door only opens 20 minutes after you force stop the machine from its cycle. I'm very lucky that I was leaving for the airport in 25 minutes, otherwise, this would have been a serious problem.

Für den Preis war der Aufenthalt okay. Man darf sich nicht zu viel Komfort erwarten.
Pros:

Die Lage war gut, mit Öffis gut erreichbar. Nettes Personal. In der Nähe Einkaufsmöglichkeiten und Lokale.

Cons:

Spärliche Einrichtung. Im Zimmer befand sich hinter den Vorhängen ein Gecko. Reinigung nur 2 mal in der Woche, außer auf ausdrücklichen Wunsch. Beim Check-In musste man eine Kaution hinterlegen, diese ist bei mir noch immer nicht zurück überwiesen worden. Kann anscheinend länger dauern.

Alma House has great staff, great location and spacious rooms. Great stay
Pros:

Location is great, close to train and bus services, spacious rooms and staff were very accomodating when we needed them.
Great having the supermarket downstairs and the playground was also a winning point for our 3year old.
Air con was amazing, and also very handy having a washing machine machine/dryer in the room.
The option to be able to cook your own meals was also very handy for our family.

Cons:

It can be very noisey, I think this should be mentioned or considered when bookings are made. I had a lot of trouble sleeping due to noise from bars etc below. At least 5 out of 8 nights I was kept awake by outside noise.

Great place to stay - spacious and clean. Had all the amenities and food on the ground floor
Pros:

Staff were super friendly and always happy to help.
Shops downstairs and food vendors were great. Even had small events on the grassed area
Security onsite

Cons:

Was a long walk from MRT (especially in the heat/humidity)
The sofa couch was very uncomfortable, but the staff happily provided 5 x Duvets for a bit more comfort. After day 5 it felt much better
The lift is usually busy, and on the last day one of the lifts was broken. Long waits occurred

いまいち
Pros:

便利

Cons:

シャワーの排水口の掃除がされていなかったらしく、シャワーをしたら水が溢れてダイニングエリアまで水浸しになった。自分で床の水を拭き取りました。結果、最後の3日間、シャワーを浴びませんでした。廊下に冷水機がないのは不便。水はスーパーで購入してくださいという方針ですか？
レセプションの場所もわかりにくい。エレベーターがホテル内に無いのも極めて不便です。

A self contained location, easy to reach parks, the river and the sights. A strong recommendation!
Pros:

The location. New Bahru is a buzzing, fun area with a playground for kids, boutique shops for clothes, interior decorations, and great restaurants. The design of the hotel is also modern, classically simple and a rest bite from the craziness of Singapore.

Cons:

We loved it.
