Would consider stayng there again if I go to Singapore, I liked the neighbourhood
Pros:

Good location, not too far from public transportation. No meals available at the Sakura, but a hawkers centre and many restaurants near by. Very interesting neighbourhood, beautifull and well maintained Peranakan houses - an attraction in itself.
The room was not big, but ok for a couple of days. Very clean, and nice bathroom.

Top recommendation, not too far from airport, friendly staff.
Pros:

To get right to the point: I was completely happy, and the staff in particular are sooo friendly and efficient—I’m giving "5 stars +"! I’d especially like to mention Alph and Wee, who handled a “packaging problem” of mine so successfully. Seriously, their warmth, reliability, and creativity—I’ve simply never experienced anything like it. Thank you so much—everything arrived safely at my home.
I stayed at the Hotel Sakura twice within 8 days; it’s a welcoming place to be, the rooms are clean, and the surrounding area is lively and beautiful.

Nice place to stay
Pros:

The room was super clean, staff was very nice and kind. It was close to the airport by taxi. Around there’s many places to eat and hawkers for a good price. AC and facilities work really well, you get everything you need. I was there for one night, it was nice for a short stay.

Cons:

The shower and the toilet are together so things can get wet.

Ottimo per un veloce stopover a Singapore
Pros:

La posizione comoda a 10/15 min in auto dall’aeroporto e il rapporto qualità/prezzo. Reception h24 e camera seppur piccola per 2, dotata di tutto il necessario

Cons:

Nulla, a parte la temperatura interna che tengono estremamente troppo bassa (forse 16 gradi) e la finestra della camera non apribile

The air conditioning (AC) was not working, and the roof was leaking. During the shower, water flooded the area outside the shower enclosure.
