Très bon séjour. Je recommande vivement.
Pros:

L'accueil la gentillesse. Les propriétaires m'ont accueilli très chaleureusement et on a beaucoup parlé le soir quand je rentrais. J'ai vraiment apprécié cette ambiance. L'emplacement était assez calme.

Cons:

Le seul bémol les escaliers a l'entrée et la salle de bain qui est très glissante après la douche.

Da migliorare
Pros:

La posizione è ottima e anche il personale.

Cons:

La stanza era veramente sporca per non parlare dei bagni. Non cambiano i cestini dei bagni quindi potete immaginare, il prezzo è basso e ci sta ma la pulizia dovrebbe essere la cosa più importante.

Pros:

I had an amazing stay. The ladies at the reception was extremely helpful and kind. The location was great. The MRT , LRT and the commuter train was near. Plenty of food choices around and the highlight was the patio at the rooftop of the hotel.

Needs improvement.
Pros:

Good location. Comfy bed. Plenty of bathrooms. Free filtered water. Let me use the clothes drying area.

Cons:

Ant infestation in my room. Signature wall with the beach decor filthy. Ants climbing onto bed, bedside table and wall. AC very noisy, loosely attached to wall so vibrating. Told the staff, first they try to change the setting which worked for about 2 mins. Then they literally just pushed the unit back onto the wall. Unsurprisingly it just worked its way loose again and the noise resumed. As a result I couldn’t use the AC as it was so loud rumbling and vibrating - even with earplugs it stopped me sleeping. Ended up turning it off and using the fan instead. It was a hot sweaty night.

Pros:

The place is well located, in a very busy area, but our room was quiet, so we didn't have any problems to sleep. The AC worked ok. The place itself is quiet but I think it depends on the other guest staying at the hotel. The breakfast they served was really good.

Cons:

Nothing

Amazing Staff and nice facilities
Pros:

The staff here is incredibly helpful and accommodating. A huge thank you for letting us check in early and for safely storing our luggage. Great service from start to finish!
Miss this place!

Cons:

Most rooms do not have windows, keep this in mind. For us is was quite difficult to wake up, because of our jetlag and the missing sun in the morning.

Poca comodidad
Pros:

La ubicación es muy buena

Cons:

Que las habitaciones no tengan ventanas es un poco agobiante. No es el lugar más cómodo, pero si solo vas a dormir puede ser un punto estratégico. Muy básico…

Pros:

Very central. Altho no windows they make up for this with clean white paint, bright murals, high stds of cleanliness, crisp white sheets, a very pretty shared outdoor area, a simple but very nice breakfast (toast, eggs, coffee). Réception desk always staffed. Feels v secure. We appreciated all these features.

(And right next door to Junk bar which is convenient and fun for nice food and beer - reasonably priced)
