Quartier et hôtel moyen
Pros:

Le personnel était gentil.

Cons:

L’établissement est vieux, beaucoup de moisissures sur les murs et bruyant. Il faut bien 20 min en grab pour rejoindre le centre.

Grüne entspannte Umgebung, große Zimmer mit großen Fenstern, alles sehr sauber
Pros:

Einen Pool zu haben und die sehr geräumigen Zimmer ist großartig. Die Umgebung ist wirklich nett mit viel Grün, günstigen Essensmöglichkeiten und einem Autofreien Weg für die morgentliche Joggingrunde, an dem sogar verschiedene Fitnessgeräte stehen. Danke an das sehr freundliche hilfsbereite staff ( Mira and Nico and everybody else)

Very pleasant and comfortable. Will stay again if in Singapore. Close to metro .
Pros:

It was just a transit stop for us and the location was very good - not too far from the airport, surrounded by many places to eat, a supermarket and shopping mall. Also a good pool. Staff Mira & Nico were very helpful & obliging.

Cons:

All good but it would have been helpful to have two chairs instead of one in the room so both my husband & I could have sat at the long bench/ desk at the same time.

Top Preis-Leistung
Pros:

Lage, Personal super. Es wurde sofort auf unsere Bitten reagiert. Betten sehr gut und sauber, Duschwasser angenehm heiß, Pool erfrischend kühl, Waschmaschine und Trockner sehr praktisch. Immer frische Handtücher, beim Pool gibt es noch extra welche.
Ein super Stadthotel für ein paar Tage, wenn man keinen Luxus sucht. Essensstände in unmittelbarer Nähe.

Cons:

Eines unserer Zimmer hatte leider Schimmel an der Decke, aber wir konnten sofort wechseln und am nächsten Morgen waren schon die Handwerker im Einsatz.
Die Badezimmer sind teilweise renovierungsbedürftig. Sie sind definitiv sauber, wirken daher aber auf den ersten Blick nicht so.

Almost perfect. Would definitely stay again.
Pros:

I was given a free upgrade to the honeymoon suite which was a lovely room. The staff were so kind. The location was perfect from the airport and lots to do in walking distance.

Cons:

The only thing I could complain about is that there wasn't any shampoo or conditioner.

did what it needed to.
Pros:

the pool was surprisingly great, the location was a 20min drive to the airport and walkable to various hawker centres and I liked this was almost a residential area. the price was good for Singapore but does not feel like value for money at all.

Cons:

look, this is an old old hotel and it feels it. the aircon was dripping on the floor and had what looked to be mould growing around it, no fresh air available, every room/area we went into you could smell the ancient smoke in the walls, drain smells in the bathroom, general unclean feeing.

I appreciate this is a 'budget' hotel for the area, and that is why we choose it and honestly would probably stay again if I needed to however would not want to.
