Für den Preis vollkommen in Ordnung.
Pros:

Sehr sauber, sehr freundliches Personal,
gute Lage, Bus vor der Haustür,
MRT ca. 1km entfernt,
kleiner 7 Eleven nebenan,
super (sehr günstig, sehr gut) Essens Gelegenheiten direkt gegenüber.

Cons:

Kein Fenster im Zimmer.
(Würde ich nicht mehr machen. Auch wenn man nur kurz in der Stadt ist.)
Schlechte Lüftung trotz Klimaanlage.
Fernseher flimmert. (Ist aber nicht so schlimm, weil man ja nicht zum Fernsehen in der Stadt ist)

Terrible and dirty room
Pros:

The front desk staff was friendly and the communication was smooth.

Cons:

The environment is terrible! The room was so small that it was difficult to even open a suitcase. The photos use very heavy filters, which make the room look small but clean and cozy, whereas in reality there is almost no ventilation, the humidity is extremely high, and there is a strong smell of mold.
The bathroom has no separation between wet and dry areas, which is likely why there are no photos of the toilet in the listing — it is very dirty. The shower head is positioned directly above the toilet. The front desk also told me that I need to run the water for about ten minutes before showering in order to get hot water.
Were these issues mentioned anywhere in the hotel description? Later, I stayed at a much better hotel for less money. The conditions at this hotel made me feel like I had gone back twenty years, to a shady budget hotel in a developing country.
I stayed there for 2 hours and then left after I found another new hotel. i couldn't even stay there, let alone sleep there for several days. Btw, the hotel still charged me 2 night fees for these 2 hour stay, even if it's not a place to live for people in 2026.

従業員さんが親切！バス停が近くて便利。
Pros:

従業員さんが優しかったです。
チェックアウトの際Aaronさん、Teddyさんがとても親切にしてくれました。チェックアウトした後Grabの配車を外で待とうとしたら、まだ時間がかかるから中でどうぞ、と言ってくれたり、車に荷物を乗せるのを手伝ってくれたりしました。(名前が分かったのが彼らだけですが、その他の従業員さんも私が大家荷物を持っているのを見てドアを開けといてくれたりと皆さん親切でした)
電車(地下鉄？)のノベナ駅からは少し距離がありますが、ビフォーバレスティアプラザというバス停が歩いて2分くらいにあって便利でした。マーライオン公園にもそこから行けました。

Cons:

シンガポールの中だと低価格なホテルですし、予約の時点で分かっていたことですが…。
窓がない部屋なので、ちょっと閉塞感がありました。また、シャワーがトイレにかかってしまうので少し不便でした。
