Habyt Kada at Maxwell

We feel the rooms are a tad under prepared for our arrival. However, the team at Habyt was very quick to respond and remediate.

With the very active surroundings, the locality can get very busy with the noise and music transferring to the room although the quiet time periods are well respected.

Being an older property, the hotel always felt a bit worn, particularly the bathroom. The shower screen is essentially decorative—water floods the bathroom floor every time. The water pressure is also extremely weak.

A few things to be aware of that weren't clearly advertised: the room is part of a shared setup with a communal kitchen, laundry facilities, and a space shared with the neighboring room. I didn't mind this personally, but it would have been helpful to know beforehand.

Noise is a significant issue. The walls are thin, so you can hear neighbors even if they're not part of your shared space. The washing machine in the communal area gets ridiculously loud during its spin cycle—if your neighbors do laundry past midnight, expect a rough night. Cooking sounds from the shared kitchen also carry through. On top of that, there's a bar downstairs and another on the rooftop, so expect noise until at least midnight.

The lounge/coworking space was cooled to freezing temperatures, and most of the workstations appeared to be occupied by hotel staff rather than guests.

The gym and spa are not operated by the hotel—they're separate providers. Confusingly, the gym pricing varies depending on who you ask, ranging from free to 30 SGD per visit.

Nowhere for us all to sit to eat but that was ok as we were out a lot or ate in shifts.
Also quite noisy some nights but that was to be expected right next to the food centre, MRT access and a few other eateries. Can’t expect all that and no noise either. Just bring earplugs if you can’t sleep through some noise.
Pretty clean, just a little dusty. Obviously no one uses the kitchen utensils as they were covered in dust as was the hot plate, easier and cheaper to get food from Maxwell food centre I suppose!

The main disadvantage in the smaller rooms (I was upgraded to a larger deluxe for the first three days) was that the walls were rather thin. I could hear the muffled conversations of people in the next rooms. The vintage elevator, apparently Singapore's oldest electric elevator was a unique experience, however, it was not always working properly if guests on other floors did not shut the gate. Whilst not an issue for me, guests with mobility issues or large luggage might have found climbing the stairs to 3rd floor rather difficult.

Le bruit de la rue très présent comme si il n'y avait pas de double vitrage. La musique du bar et des gens le fréquentant. Nous ne pouvions dormir que vers 2h du matin. Pas vraiment d isolation des murs.

The floor of the room was not level in some places. Not obvious but you feel in when you stepped on them. Not a dealbreaker though.

Nothing

Lack of air conditioner in public places

房间确实太小了，而且隔音不太好，那个老电梯很有意思，不过没有使用的指引，第一次研究了半天。
