Pros:

La posizione è ideale: da China Town è possibile spostarsi facilmente a piedi o con i mezzi pubblici nei quartiere di maggiore interesse turistico (ad es. Marina Bay e Little India). La colazione (inclusa nel prezzo) è basic, ma non male (caffè, thè, pane tostato con burro/marmellata/burro di arachidi, frutta, cereali). Lo staff è stato disponibile a custodire i ns bagagli gratuitamente anche dopo il check-out.

Cons:

La struttura è purtroppo vecchia e così son anche le stanze. La nostra camera era okay per il soggiorno di una notte, ma il bagno (in comune con tutte/i le/gli ospiti del piano) non era in buone condizioni: la doccia è integrata nello stanzino del WC, pertanto il WC era costantemente allagato. Inoltre il resto degli spazi risultava sporco. Con un piccolo sovrapprezzo per notte si può ottenere molto di più.

Pros:

L'emplacement est vraiment top pour visiter Singapour. Il est possible de tout faire a pied depuis l'hôtel.
Les petits déjeuners sont simples et chaque personnes fait sa vaisselle : bon concept.
Nous avions une chambre double mais sans sbd. Les sanitaires partagés étaient propres .

Cons:

À la fin de la journée après la douche de tout le monde, les toilettes sont trempés car toilettes et douches sont ensembles.

Great location, very clean, small room
Pros:

Great location, right opposite Chinatown MRT station, about 40 mins from the airport and 7 mins walking from Maxwell station and hawker center. Chinatown is an interesting destination to explore on its own. Toilets are super clean and dry. Staff are friendly and helpful.

Cons:

The room is pretty small, but I think it's good value for money

Pros:

Хорошая локация отеля (расположен в районе Чайнатаун). Дружелюбный персонал, чистота и порядок. Отличная цена в соотношении цена и качество. Через дорогу расположено метро, Удобный отель-хостел для туристов, который планируют посетить Сингапур на 1-2 дня и сэкономить на жилье. В шаговой доступности район Чайнатаун, где можно посмотреть и купить сувениры на память, попробовать китайскую кухню.
