Reviews and Ratings
The hotel didn't quite match the pictures on Booking. com; be cautious. After being moved to a different room due to cleanliness issues, I still found it lacking in cleanliness, including the pool. Noise disturbances from neighboring rooms and the corridor made it hard to get a good night's sleep. The location, service, and value were decent, but improvements are needed.
Although the room was small for two persons with luggage and challenging to access, the hotel staff were friendly and accommodating, though lacking in detailed room information. The location was convenient with access to transport and eateries, but the dining option across the road was below standard.
The hotel is conveniently located in a very good area not far from the city with easy access to transportation options. The rooms, though small and lacking soundproofing, were suitable for a short stay. The service was accommodating with responsive staff. The dining options, predominantly catering to Indian cuisine, were average. However, there were some issues with breakfast charges and ant presence. Overall, a decent value for money stay with a few drawbacks to consider.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were not as expected - no window in the standard room and a bit of a hassle with the reference number for room access. However, they were clean and cozy, surprisingly comfortable for a short trip. The service was a mix - some staff were kind and helpful, while others weren't very friendly. The location was fairly good, near a shopping mall and easy to access public transportation. The dining experience had its moments, with nice options and some disappointments. Overall, a stay with both positives and negatives to consider.
The hotel is in a convenient location, near an MRT station and prominent bus routes. The rooms are small and may not be ideal for two people due to limited space. The service is friendly and efficient, but there were issues with room replacement. The dining experience was subpar, with limited options and high prices.
The hotel offered a nice view from the rooms and was in a good location with easy access to public transport. The rooms, however, were a bit small and lacked a chair, making it uncomfortable. The dampness in the room was unpleasant, but the service was excellent with a quick room change. Dining options were varied, but quality was under standard.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were too tiny for comfort, the breakfast was subpar, and the atmosphere felt unsafe for couples due to possible illegal activities. On the bright side, the room had a lovely view, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring Singapore.
The hotel's rooms were very cramped with a queen and single bed, making movement difficult and feeling claustrophobic. Privacy was a concern as the lack of soundproofing meant private activities or noise from neighboring rooms could be heard clearly. The small size of the rooms did not justify the price paid.
The hotel has tiny rooms that lack a fridge, making it challenging to even open a small suitcase, with some small spiders crawling around. Despite this, the staff is helpful and accommodating. The location offers easy access to transportation but may not be suitable for certain preferences. The dining options may fall short of expectations, lacking variety and quality.
The hotel is conveniently located near an MRT station, restaurants, and groceries, making it easy to get around. The rooms, although small as expected, were clean and had a bar-top fridge ready upon arrival. The service was friendly and helpful, although there was a missed opportunity to inform us about the closure of the pool and gym. Dining options were satisfactory with an Indian menu available. However, the room was a bit smelly, and depending on who you encounter, the experience may vary.
The hotel is in a great location, near an MRT station and prominent bus routes, with convenient access to heritage sites and good food outlets. The rooms, though small and with a persistent weird smell, are cozy. The service was a mix of efficient check-in and helpful guidance to a local clinic but marred by angry responses to inquiries and subpar bathroom amenities. The dining options are limited, with the same choices daily and inconvenient hours. The facilities include a nearby convenience store, restaurant, and spa, offering some convenience but lacking variety.
If you're a tourist planning to spend more time exploring than in your room, this hotel may suit your needs. The rooms are small but offered on the top floor with windows. However, there was a noticeable humidity smell lingering. The service was a mixed bag, with some staff being rude but others changing my room promptly and handing me the key. The location is convenient for city transport and near a shopping mall but not ideal for Indian tourists looking for Indian vegetarian food. The dining options were basic, and additional charges applied for breakfast with some issues like non-functional gym and ants in the rooms. The hotel provides intermediate dining arrangements but not what I expected. Facilities were limited in terms of amenities.
