Cosy little hideaway in one of my favourite areas of Singapore
Pros:

It was in the absolute best neighbourhood, with great MRT access.
We got a free room upgrade. There was a lot of space and we enjoyed a nice balcony. I would definitely stay again.

Cons:

Not enough blankets in room and aircon ponted at bed. Bed was not the most comfortable.

Pros:

Felt safe, Great location, close to restaurants, cafés, and the temple. Convenient 24-hour reception. Tony at reception was friendly and helpful, assisting with our luggage and early check-in. The filtered drinking water from the bathroom tap was a great bonus.

Pros:

2026 Mayıs ayında 1 gece konakladık. Check in saatimizden önce bizi kabul ederek odaya yerleştirildik. Otel çalışanları güleryüzlü, yardımsever. Thomas isimli çalışan arkadaşa buradan da teşekkürlerimi iletiyorum :) odalar biraz ufak, banyosu küvetliydi ve güzeldi. Singapur gibi bir ülke de fiyat performans açısından kesinlikle tercih edilebilir bir hotel.

Pros:

Affordable. Clean sheets. Really nice location, close to the public transportation.

Cons:

The room was not very clean, when we arrived, there was very strong smell, which luckily faded away in a day. I was able to hear all the sounds from the next room and hallway. Busy at night.

Basic but good for a quick sleep and freshen up.
Pros:

The property was reasonably priced and in a good location of china town. Restaurants and cafes were close by and train station was in walking distance.
Room was very basic but comfortable.

Cons:

The room has a strange smell to it. The rooms were very small and so was the bathroom. But did the job. It was good for a sleep and freshen up.

Water from the ceiling and death cockroach
Pros:

The staff was really nice and polite to be fair

Cons:

The hotel was one of the worst places I've ever been.
First I've got a room with water coming out of the ceiling.
I've got a new one with a death cockroach, and with a really shabby toilet.
To complete the experience, there were loud noises due to ongoing work in one of the rooms in my floor.
Even if I already paid for 3 nights, I didn't sleep there and I left for another hotel nearby that was waaay cleaner and nicer

Convenient place in great location
Pros:

Great location, easy check in/ out with friendly staff, we appreciated the late check out time.

Cons:

The mattress was very hard and we generally like firm mattresses. Bathroom was very small and there was no shower screen or curtain, so water was everywhere. But for a short stay those were not big issues.
