My stay at the hotel was a mix of good and not so good experiences. The rooms, though considerably spacious in comparison to some other hotels, were not up to the mark as the bathroom lacked the glass as shown in the photos. Additionally, our rooms weren't ready upon arrival, and to our surprise, they were assigned on two different floors.

My stay was a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms seemed a bit old, especially with the outdated carpet, but they were surprisingly spacious given the price point. The service, on the other hand, was top-notch. The staff were friendly, professional, and went above and beyond to accommodate our early check-in request after a tiring journey.

The hotel is situated in a vibrant area of Chinatown, close to the Tiong Bahru hawker center and interesting restaurants. The rooms are smaller than expected with limited storage space, and the bathroom lacked the glass as shown in the photos. The service is friendly but misinterprets 'do not disturb. ' The location is convenient with bus lines nearby, not far from sightseeing spots, though a bit of a walk to the MRT station. The dining options are mostly centered around Tiong Bahru market. Overall, a decent choice for exploring the area.

The hotel's location is convenient, allowing easy access to popular spots like Tiong Bahru Market and Chinatown. However, the rooms were disappointing with dirty walls, carpets, and smoke coming in through the air conditioning. The service was professional but lacked friendliness, and though the dining options were available, the overall experience did not meet my expectations.

Rooms

The rooms were not as clean as expected, with dirty walls and carpets. The smoke coming in through the air conditioning was a great inconvenience. Despite being suitable for two persons only, the layout was inconvenient as they were on opposite ends of the floor.

Location

The location was good for accessing Tiong Bahru Market and Chinatown, offering a different experience from the advertised photos. However, it felt less authentic due to minor situations like a garbage bag tied to the handles.

While dining options were available near Tiong Bahru Market, the overall experience was not satisfying. Gourmet food was not a standout feature, and relying on nearby convenience stores like Seven-Eleven for meals was not ideal.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were pretty big with a nice city view and lots of natural light during the day, but they definitely need renovation. The morning view was lovely, but I wished they had spent more time cleaning as there were some areas missed. It was a quick 5-minute walk to handle room preparation and garbage disposal, but I noticed the floor wasn’t swept properly. However, for a family stay, it was adequate.

The hotel's location was ideal for me. It was surrounded by a variety of food options, had direct bus access to my office at Ayer Rajah Crescent, and was within walking distance of Chinatown, Clarke Quay, and Orchard. I would definitely recommend it to fellow tourists. Being near the local market was a bonus.

I found the hotel to be cozy and well-equipped with amenities like extra bedding, refrigerator, safe, VCR, and widescreen TV in the room. However, the cleaning service was not thorough as they only seemed to prepare the room and dispose of rubbish without sweeping the floor.
