Needed a room for a one night transit in Singapore. Should've spent more. Spent a listless night in a cramped room that smelled of mildew. Reception was tired and almost rude. There are other places.

A family friend booked this hotel for me so I didn't know what to expect. I'm a pretty easy going guy but on the way from the airport, when the taxi driver asked me where I was staying and I told him, he proceeded to ask if I like Vietnamese girls.??? Right there and then, I knew this hotel was...

Absolutely garbage! Never stay there. The staff is absolutely rude and impudent. Firstly they charged my card twice and refused to refund. Instead of $500 they changed me $1000. I was forced to call the bank to cancel the transaction. The room was in poor condition, the condition was leaking.

Thought we had to pay $98 AUS D for 2 nights--good rate. later credit card charge showed $134 AUS D. $35 too much as room was windowless & perfect size if you were a leprechaun. Desk clerk really helpful, staff good. Barely adequate for the price. Actually that would be my rating: barely adequate.

1. Too far away from MRT (nearest trainstation is 2.5-3 km paya lebar)
2. Location close to red light...

The room size is too small. It is very difficult to move around the room. Moreover, the location of the Hotel is such odd that either you can take a taxi or to board a bus or take a train you need to walk for at least 15 min.
It is very near to Red light area GAYLAND, that too...
