Wonderful stay
Pros:

I had a very pleasant stay at this hotel. The location was excellent, especially for Muslim travellers, as it was easy to find halal food nearby. The room was quiet, clean, comfortable, and cool, making it a great place to relax after a long day. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay and felt very comfortable here. I would definitely choose this hotel again on my next visit.

Cons:

None

Pros:

Staff were great. Pool was nice. Room was dated but comfortable.

Cons:

Went down the stairs next to the lift and got stuck and couldn't get out and had to exit at the back of the building in the next block.

I left 10 Minutes after arrival
Pros:

Staff was very friendly

Cons:

Everything else. The rooms where dirty (e.g. hair in the bathtub), outdated and run down. Due to a lack of insulation the rooms were very noisy and provided no privacy. The surrounding of the Hotel was uncomfortable.

What a surprise
Pros:

For a stopover in Singapore it is very convenient and extremely good value. The rooms are large and the beds were very firm
It will cost about S$25 from the Airport in a taxi
It has no breakfast or restaurant facilities but it doesn't need them
But the surprising thing is that on the 3rd floor is a large and good quality swimming pool
It is situated in a Malay/Muslim area which made getting a beer a bit of a walk
It's perhaps three hundred metres from the MRT
The big advantage is that the area is well supplied with restaurants covering a huge spectrum of food and of good quality
The reception staff were also very good, helpful and friendly

Cons:

TV was not very good.
It requires a lot of sprucing up and maintenance which would convert it into an excellent property.

Pros:

The pool was great and the staff were really lovely and helpful! It was also very easy to catch a bus near the hotel to Sentosa to go to Universal Studios

Cons:

The air con was leaking and not working in one of the rooms on the first night so unable to sleep as it was so hot and the water had to leak into a bucket, however they fixed it the next day which was great.

Cons:

Odada hamam böceği vardı. Televizyon 25 sene öncesinden kalma, tek bir kanal karıncalı çekiyordu. Banyo, tuvalet duvarla değil camla ayrılmış mahremiyet hiç yok, oda seçimi öncesi teyit edilmeli.
