I guess hotel rates have reached exorbitant levels in Singapore hence I thought I was visiting Tokyo
Pros:

location location and location

Cons:

size of the room particilarly the shower cubicle was non existent. Felt claustrophobic at times. No furniture to put stuff. The room was meant just for sleeping after a day spent outside.

Super Lage. Gestank im Zimmer katastrophal
Pros:

Die zentrale Lage hat 5* der Gestank im Zimmer war unerträglich . Modrig, schweissig, muffig.
Dabei waren Boden. Vorhänge, Betten , Laken usw. alle gut im Geruch. Wir vermuten, dass der Filter vom Aircon voll Gestank ist und diesen weiter gibt.
Wir bekamen einen Luftentfeuchter. Keine wirkliche Besserung. Wir mussten die Zimmertüre zum Flur die halbe Nacht offen Lassen um Frischluft zu bekommen.
Das gehört sofort geändert

Cons:

Der Gestank im Zimmer
