Don't expect too much from this hotel. The service are flat, the rooms are not too spacious. It doesn't even have too many facilities. Just a place to sleep and rest during the night when you are busy or full the whole day. For that specific purpose, it serves its value quite well.

This hotel actually in good location, close to Marina Bay, where my conference is.. But, there's a construction in front of the hotel, and its so noisy at night, can't really sleep. Breakfast is terrible, no taste, all plain!! There's a time i invite my friends to my room, because my friends lives in Singapore and not always can meet... More

i recently stayed with my family at this hotel and the experience was fairly average. the housekeeping staff is excellent and very helpful but the hotel itself is not a great place to stay. the rooms are fairly old and very small in size. the hotel is excellently located near Bras Basah MRT station. With the ongoing work for Bencoolen... More

I stayed here as I was joining a tour. The room itself was clean, and had a safe and complimentary water. This is as much praise as I can give. The building work outside the hotel was loud and I heard banging coming from outside in the night, so had a pretty poor night's sleep. There is no real lobby... More

I stayed here at the end of a G Adventures tour and I thought it was fine. The room was clean, all staff I encountered were friendly and helpful and the location was good. Obviously it's not ideal that there's renovation happening at the front of the hotel but that's not their fault. It met my needs.

Although a useful location, the hotel does not represent good value for money. Small attention to details such as a basic level of cleanliness would have made a big differnce. Also, a smile and a basic welcome, after a long flight wouldve made the trip seem worth while. The male staff were very polite, helpful (if they were allowed to... More

Hotel was good enough for budget and road works were no bother either. And free WiFi in room. Great location. What destroyed our stay here was the loud music from bar downstairs midnight till at least 4am ! Nightmare.

The MRT renovations in front are making it difficult for taxis and transport. You have to enter fro the rear car park or walk 20 mters to road to hail a cab. The hotel rooms are not clean. they advertise free wifi but restrict you to 2 devices in this day and age 3 is not unreasonable. The clincher for... More

Thought that it was one of the most convenient location, I booked this hotel just 2 days before my trip to Singapore. It really is (Just 5-10mins walk to Bras Basah MRT Station). BUT JUST A FRIENDLY REMINDER-- there is a construction going on the Bencoolen Street, mainly in front of the hotel. So, it is a MUST to walk... More

Please travellers, don't stay in this hotel. I've got a glass splinter in my finger now from using their bar soap which I left on the showertop- there was obviously a piece of broken glass left by a previous occupant there. Spoiled my entire last day because it hurt so much. I told the reception about it; they were highly... More
