Great value for money!
Pros:

Very good value for money.
The room was equipped with a fridge, kettle, and heater.
The staff were extremely friendly, attentive, and always willing to help.
When we arrived late in the evening, the computer system was down and it was not possible to complete the check-in process. Even though it took more than an hour to resolve the issue, the staff quickly provided us with a temporary room so we could settle in. We really appreciated this, especially because the children were able to take a shower and fall asleep, and in the end we stayed in that room instead of moving to another one later.
We also appreciated being able to leave our luggage at the reception area after check-out.
Overall, a very pleasant stay and we would happily come back.

Pros:

Very clean and new, everything felt great and more than a 3 star facility. Room is small and just enough for 2 but it didn't feel cramped. The plus factor was that the bathroom is super clean, water pressure from the shower is strong, wifi is fast, AC is cold, and room amenities were complete. Lots of things to do around the Joo Chiat / Katong area and you'll never go hungry or thirsty. Lots of places to see and great for long walks. Perfect for budget travelers looking for a short stay or transit hotel (just 15 mins via Grab/taxi from the airport).

Cons:

Room has no windows, so probably not great for a long term stay.
