Terrible experience starting from front desk/reception service to the room itself. Staff were so unfriendly. Couldn't even offer us a smile. The room has no window. It is so small I was lucky I was staying alone. Two people would make it congested. Bathroom is also small with a bathtub. No bidet or water closet so it was kinda of... More

My god, the shower pressure was the best I've had in any hotel I have stayed. Apart from that, the hotel was what I have expected for the price paid. Close to the airport. Bathroom, linen is clean. Air on is working well, towels clean, quiet, very helpful staff, free Internet. Again, perfect pad close to the airport if you... More

This a good pick for the ones who come just to rest at night. you get neat but SMALL room. The only thing that might disturb your sleep is the noises and disturbances people make round the clock..as there are lots of people who take rooms for one hour or more...and these people will be coming and going out making...

We had never been to Singapore and were just looking for a clean place to stay near an MRT station. This place is great for someone who only wants a "home base" for sleeping. Easy walk to an MRT station (Paya Lebar; also a transfer station). The room we stayed in didn't have a window but it was good sized... More

I had to extend my Singapore stay for a few more days and the only place I could find close by to where I was staying earlier was this hotel. The rooms came at a premium cost ($130 a night) and at that cost, they were pretty ordinary. When I walked into the room, I was surprised to see the... More

Whatever you do - don't stay here. It is filthy, disgusting and tried to ruin our visit to Singapore. Even with a budget, we decided to leave after having paid for last night as we couldn't stand it any longer. We wondered about catching something and also wondered if we might be dirtier coming out of the bathroom than before... More

It is what it is. A budget hotel ideal for a short stay. I only needed a place to sleep on a stopover in Singapore. Yes it's small etc, but that's what I was expecting so it wasn't a concern. There is NEVER an excuse for dirty, filthy unkept rooms however. The bathroom was covered in mould and the floors... More

Got a cheap hotel since I was in SIngapore only for the weekend. The desk staff was nice, but the room had no windows, smelled musty, the sheets were scratchy, no shower curtain, could not control the air (too cold), and it was very noisy at night (which I found out later it is in the prostitution district of Singapore......

The hotel is based a short way out of the city centre but is only a 15 minute walk to the nearest sky train stop, then 20 minutes into the centre. Based in a predominantly Malay area it gave a real insight into the real Singapore rather then just the usual tourist trails. Worth knowing that the road is at... More
