A good located and compact hotel which give you all the essentials
Pros:

The location is good. Very close to CBD. Can get easily to different places by getting transport from Grab app. The room though small, it's compact. Like it's name, it provide all the essentials. You can get good food close by. The location is also close to China Town

Cons:

The shower of my room not working too properly. The top shower leaked and drip though I have chosen the hand held shower head.

Small but Compact and a Very convenient hotel.
Pros:

Location is good. Small but compact.

When I am in Rm 506, the toilet smells. Have to turn on the exhaust fan all night to minimise the smell. Otherwise, everything is Ok.

Location was good and stay was not bad
Pros:

Location is amazing within the city centre, close to both Clarke Quay and Chinatown MRT stations

Cons:

Room was a bit dirty, same as bathroom. Also a slight foul smell from the bathroom throughout stay, was a little bearable, but the bathroom was visibly unclean

Pros:

有冰塊機加飲用水非常棒，床好睡，地理位置很好，左右都有酒吧，去附近熟食中心，老巴剎等等都蠻近的，MRT走路幾分鐘就到了。

Cons:

沒有的地方吊衣服，沒有垃圾桶，隔音的話看人，前面提到附近有酒吧所以晚上可能會有一些聲音我自己是感覺還可以。

Central location is top
Pros:

The air conditioning and the location. The bed wasn't the most comfortable but I could sleep well.

Cons:

I booked one without a window which makes waking up to full darkness at 9:00 feel like waking up in the middle of the night. Therefore I'd recommend booking a room with a window.

Fijne kamer op uitstekende locatie
Pros:

Een fijne kamer op een uitstekende locatie. Klein maar prettig ingericht, alles is er. De belangrijkste dingen waren uitstekend; het bed, de douche, airco en wifi. Er is zelfs een koelkast

Cons:

Niets. Het is een kleine kamer maar dat weet je als je boekt, voor mij is dat prima.

PESIMO
Cons:

La habitación es muy chica, no podes ni abrir la valija, la cama es pequeña. se escuchan TODOS los ruidos, a la noche te despertas en varias oportunidades cuando entran y salen los otros huéspedes que dicho sea de paso muy maleducados. Durante el dia escuchamos ruidos de obra todo el dia, y la ultima noche estuvieron hasta las 2 de la mañana haciendo ruido de obra, lo peor es que llamamos al telefono de emergencias y no atendió nadie, y al otro dia tampoco nos pidieron ni disculpas, se hicieron los desentendidos aun habiéndoles enviado los videos con los ruidos que hubo toda la madrugada. NO LO RECOMIENDO PARA NADA

Nice stay, good location, good value.
Pros:

Staff ire friendly and location is good.

Cons:

Self check in was a bit confusing. They send a form by email as to save some time but arriving there we need to fill another form in a screen that is quite a pain specially because it’s very hard to select the options. I saw more guests having the same issue.

Unfähige Scammer-Bude…
Pros:

Zentral, ruhig und sauber

Cons:

Der booking.com Account des Hotels ist kompromittiert; ich habe eine sehr authentische Whatsapp-Nachricht an meine hinterlegte Handynr. erhalten (die alle buchungsrelevanten Informationen enthalten hat) mit der Bitte, doch meine Kreditkarten-Informationen herauszugeben.
SEHR GEFÄHRLICH…
Das Hotel hat jämmerlich auf meinen Hinweis reagiert und vorgegeben, dass man bemüht sei, alle Gäste über das Datenleck zu informieren….auf die Idee, Gäste vorab über die Phishing-Aktivitäten zu informieren ist mal dort nicht gekommen…
