Let me start with the good things. 1) Location is okay and is walking distance from two subway lines. The hotel is also near the art district of Singapore which is awesome. It's quite a happening place as little bars here and there come alive at night. 2) Good elevators and dozens of helpful maps can be found in the... More

The bell man smokes at the lobby, hotel staff and breakfast staff are unfriendly and unhelpful. The road construction will be there for another two to three years before they can complete the train route. When it rain, It's difficult if you travel with kids or senior citizens. Taxi drivers drop off pasenggers a few blocks from the hotel. Breakfast... More

Checked in 2 Double Rooms from 16 Dec t0 17 Dec 2011. The Hotel is reasonable clean with nice small pool at 2nd floor, but the Hotel Staff's service is worst of it's kind. The Receptionists and the Assistant Operation Manager presented their worst attitude and service anybody could give, totally unexpected. During check-in, the staff is totally not helpful... More

Stayed here for 3 nights. Location is great, very accessible by MRT or bus. Room was clean and air-conditioning was cool. They have complimentary internet access. Short walking distance to Bugis market. I didn't really enjoy breakfast because they have limited choices and they served the same kinds of food in my entire stay. I would stay here again, not...

The staff were unfriendly, the rooms small. No free internet and broken air conditioning. The road outside the hotel and local metro station were closed. It was a relief to check out. More

Stayed at this hotelin May 2011 for 3 nights. Location was good for a ten minute walk to Bugis Market, or Bras Basah MRT. Breakfast was ok (althoughI pass on the chicken ham substitue for bacon -this just ruins the whole idea of breakfast for me.) Rooms are small as they all are in the moderately priced hotels in the...

We stayed here 3 times over a 5 week period when passing through Singapore. The location is good as stated by other reviewers although on our last stay in early November the front of the hotel was behind barriers as the new MRT line will run under Bencoolen Street and construction is underway. The staff were friendly and efficient. The... More

We chose this hotel for its location and we were not disappointed. It is about 200 meters from the Bras Basah MRT station and there's a bus stop nearby. Right across the hotel is a 7-11, and beside that a Kopitiam food court, a Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf outlet, and a Wendy's. You'll never go hungry, that's for sure,... More

It is located in a very strategic location. Only 300m from Bras Basah MRT station (FYI, Bras Basah is relatively not a busy station compared with others, especially Bugis & Orchard. It also has the highest escalator in Singapore MRT) Only 200m away, you can find fast food restaurant (Wendy's); 24 hour-food court (Kopitiam) and 24 hour grocery store (7-Eleven),... More
