Pros:

I'm so happy I chose to stay here! The accommodation is extremely clean and comfortable; helpful staff, easy check in and good AC and Wifi. I LOVED the location: plenty of restaurants and shops around, but the prices are SO much cheaper than in the city center, and still, the city center is within walking distance. The pods are spacious, private and comfortable. Highly recommend!

Cons:

Everything was great!

Fresco adattamento
Pros:

Organizzazione buona, pulizia non male rispetto ad altri posti in zona. Aria condizionata polare all'interno delle camera

Cons:

Forse servirebbe più di una presa della corrente in nelle capsule matrimoniali.

Pros:

Location is gold. Amenities are well organized, hairdryer and iron + ironing board are easily accessible. Showers are cleaned very frequently and are hardly dirty.

Cons:

Wifi is extremely erratic inside room. Any fellow guest staying nearby will send massive shockwave to my room whenever they leave their toom and quarter - very much subjected to the Mercury of the last person in / first person out . Am a good sleeper in general yet ℹ find it hard to sleep well whenever people start coming in and out of the quarter.

Pros:

Das günstigste was man in Singapur finden kann. War sehr sauber, jeden Tag wurden die Zimmer aufgeräumt und die Bäder geputzt.

Cons:

Es schlafen 16 Personen in einem Zimmer, dementsprechend waren die Nächte eher unruhig. Unser Zimmer war um 15:00 Uhr noch nicht bereit zum Check In. Einige Personen an der Rezeption waren nicht gerade freundlich.
