This hotel is a hotel for those who are in a tight budget. It is not recommended for those who wants something fancy. However, our experience here is very poor. 1st of all, you will have a hard time looking for cabs and most of the cabs didn't want to bring us to our hotel because they didn't like that... More

Knowing that you are staying in the red light district - what's happening outside your hotel will not bother you much. what matters most is the room, the front desk, staff, distance to the MRT and safety. Room is clean albeit mattress is plastic coated and the thin blanket and cotton sheet. Towels, toiletries and coffee well supplied. Hot water... More

Situated in the red-light district of Geylang, we were treated to the sight of 3 prostitutes hanging around outside. The room was clean but the mattress was plastic coated...eww. There was a thin sheet on top and a thin blanket to go with it. Small cockroach spotted in the bathroom but otherwise bug free. Air-con worked well, large TV for... More

Second trip to Singapore. I chose the Geylang area again because the hotels here are the cheapest, and because despite it being the red light district, it's still a pretty safe area to stay in. Me and my husband stayed here in Mar 1 - 5, 2012 (four days). It was the second cheapest hotel in Singapore I found online.... More

This hotel is advisable for traveler with a tight budget. Bus station is a 3 minutes away from the hotel, Aljunied MRT station is only 15 min walk. Strategically located in the middle of Singapore Red Area and believe me this place is very interesting especially at night. The receptionist was friendly and very helpful. Tips : do replace room...

This is our first time staying at this 2-stars hotel. Actually was reluctant in the first place as it was located in the red light district. We were lost once we reached Aljunied MRT and instead took a cab to the hotel which is 5mins away. Checked-in was smooth and we were given a double-bed room on 7th floor. Room... More

We stayed here during an Asian tour and chose this as cheaper budget hotel. Actually the hotel is not bad and it's easy to find, no breakfast but so what.. there is stores and restaurants near. It's located just a walking distance of the subway system which will take you anywhere in few minutes. Yes there is a so called... More

This place is a knocking shop in the middle of Singapore's red light district. Our bathroom had a pipe pouring boiling hot water from the shower in the room above through their drain. We were kept awake all night by shouting and banging from rooms in the corridor. We spent as much time away from the hotel as we could,... More

Quite simply the worst we have ever seen in terms of cleanliness and service. Safety is also questionable. We would NOT recommend this to anyone. Cleanliness: Aside from the overwhelming tobacco smell, our room has severe stains and broken facilities including the shower. What's worse is our pillows and blanket have odor as of they were not properly washed. Unacceptable... More

I travelled with my mom this time and it was quite a bad choice booking this hotel. Located in the red light district of Geylang where pimps and hookers are just right outside the hotel. I never experienced leaving or entering the building at night without being approached by those pimps. It was a bit annoying. Rooms are small and... More
