Just about comfortable if you're not too fussy.
Pros:

Staff really helpful. Location excellent. Room smaller than expected, a bit run down and not well cleaned. Breakfast a little ordinary. Only had it once then chose other places.

Fabulous location in an refurbished building
Pros:

We were staying in Singapore for the Formula 1 and the location is excellent! It was possible to walk to the venue (but of course the Singapore humidity made it impossible to be outdoors during daylight hours) but we could also catch the metro or buses right outside the venue. Orchard Road was also close by and all the main attractions of Singapore were also closely linked via public transport. The neighbourhood in the vicinity was also excellent to explore with Bugis also only walking distance. The breakfast was also hearty and delicious and staff were always friendly and helpful if we had any enquiries.

Cons:

The building is quite old although has been refurbished.

在F1比賽期間的市中心住宿5晚SGD$1,057算是便宜,但此區周邊的飯店價格都差不多,設施可能更新更舒適,建議多比較價格和需求後再訂房。
Pros:

住宿地點很理想,距離F1賽道zone4的gate步行約20分鐘內可抵達,Raffels Place一帶徒步路程約15分鐘左右,夜間觀賽後省去許多通勤問題,也不用花大錢搭計程車,離國家博物館、南洋藝術學院、SMU都很近,飯店周邊環境安靜不複雜。往返機場或前往市區景點都很方便,相對商業區附近的飯店也較便宜,是理想的住宿區域。

Cons:

飯店隔音極差,隔壁房說話、看影片、洗澡的聲音都能聽得一清二楚,走廊有人走動的聲音也很明顯。戶外的人聲、車聲、雨聲也都能清楚聽到,幸好這區清晨和夜間並不嘈雜。飯店建築和房內裝潢、家具都很老舊,兩台電梯運行時的聲音都像是隨時會解體,浴室和床、mini bar都很基礎,此房型房內沒有額外的座椅或沙發,入房後僅能坐在床上,房內沒有提供室內拖鞋,整體清潔程度勉強能接受(像是老式家庭旅館)。早餐像是經濟艙的飛機餐,但飯店周邊可選擇的咖啡廳、餐廳很多,價格也實惠。

Fits Our Needs
Pros:

Checking in and out was a breeze despite the crowd (hotel seems quite popular). The staff especially at the reception is super friendly and polite. We were asked to switch to another room but was not a problem at all since they asked graciously. Slippers are available upon request!

Cons: only 2 pillows were provided (1 per guest), additional cost if you ask for more. I sleep while hugging a pillow so this was quite inconvenient for me, wish they provided 2 pillows per guest. Also, walls are thin so we can hear others guests but not a biggie since it's quiet at night. Breakfast spread can be improved as options are very limited, great coffee though!

Best: right across Bencoolen Exit A with a nearby 7-11. Amazing location!

Very good
Pros:

Great location close to MRT lines and a short walk to almost everything.

Cons:

Buffet breakfast was chaos with staff standing watching as plates were left on tables and tables left unclean, so we had to ask for a place to be made. I think it's the budget hotel thing where patrons think it's okay to take everything they see offered.

Value for your money. Location is just perfect for the main attractions I wanted to see.
Pros:

The staff. They were very friendly. Food taste was average, but enough to fill one.

Cons:

None that I can think of except the comfort room at the ground floor which was not too clean.

Good location but overpriced compared to room and facilities
Pros:

Thd location was good, near Bencoolen MRT

Cons:

The hotel, room and facilities was quite old compared to price. The room was a bit dirty, there was a few hair on the floor even we asked the housekeeper to clean daily but it seems they just only cover the bed and replenish items. Also, the air conditioner was leaking!

Great location rooms are not up to standard
Pros:

The location is fabulous, right in the heart of where you want to be. The staff are also very helpful and friendly.

Cons:

The room was small and did not match the photos that claimed to be the same type on the website and also had an interconnecting door to another room, which had a noisy family in it and you could hear everything.

During one almighty downpour of rain, the windows started leaking a cast amount of water into the room. It was reported to reception, and the "fix" was to place a towel on the windowsill.

The location is good but the rest are so so I consider paying 100 SGD per night is not worthed.
Pros:

The only good thing I like about this hotel is the location. Some staff are very helpful but some were not. The breakfast was very standard but it is ok lah.

Cons:

No bidet and the superior type is small. I think its overprice here. The deluxe type is ok. The fitness centre and the pool are jokes to me. Its only good from the picture. So dissapointing. Few times (at evening and even morning, no staff at the front desk and no one answering the call so need to go down to the lobby and told them what we need (after knocking a door, we believe staff inside) esp considering the old lift that was slow.
