Everything works as it should be. Room that I booked is the cheapest as it was just a transit hotel. Very small room. Basic amenities. Kettle was not in the room so had to go to reception to request for one. No phone in the room to call. About 20-30mins walk from MRT station. Food around the hotel. A lot of halal restaurants as the area got more Malays.

Firstly, we stood waiting for someone to show up at the front desk connecting in for nearly 10 minutes. No one was there, no bell to ring and no way to get anyone’s attention aside from trying to message the hotel using the app. Rooms are very small, with poor lighting and the mattress felt like sleeping on a queen sized Yoga block. Extremely hard and uncomfortable mattress. The bathrooms were clean but, not free of sewage gas seeping up and into your entire room. It was HORRIBLE. If you used the bathroom, even run the bathroom sink, the sewage gas will start working itself through your entire room. I had to cover the drains in the bathroom with wet towels and keep the bathroom door shut.

Liked the place . The bed and pillows were fantastic. The cleanliness was good. Front staff friendly. Good value. The main negative was that we stayed for 5 days and the room did not get serviced. The staff knocked on the door once to see if we wanted anything the rest of the time we had to ask for toilet paper, tea bags, soap etc.

It was just okay

The room was quiet but could have been cleaner - hair on shower wall. The bed was a bit hard but comfy pillows. The ceiling light came on randomly in the middle of the night! The Fd employee was very helpful offering a late check out and to store luggage which was much appreciated but when the desk was unattended there was no way to get any assistance.
