Good value for money

Great staff e awesome location, very close to Chinatown MRT station (exit F or E). Room was nice, small as expected, but there are two things I did not like: 1. No window in the room, a noisy fan in place 2. Although bathrooms and all facilities very clean, the rug inside the room was not, lot of long hair, certainly not mine! I did like the good air conditioner and washer/drier facility (self service, S$3 each). Breakfast was simple but consistent, with cereals, cooked eggs, bread/toaster, fresh orange juice, milk, coffee and fresh oranges.

Overall a good cheap stay in Singapore :)

Our stay was great, couldn’t of picked a better hotel (3 minute walk to Chinatowns MRT). Staff were friendly and room was comfortable. There appeared to be a few people waiting for showers in the morning, but we did this on the evenings so didn’t affect us. To be expected and didn’t bother us, but be aware that the walls are very thin, so you can hear a lot going on outside your room. Breakfast was basic: cereal, toast and spreads, hard boiled eggs, hot drinks and juice. Enough to start the day, but a little repetitive after a few nights :)

No electrical power in double room I had reserved. Went to front desk 3 times before someone came up to check it. When they managed to restore electrical power to the room, then AC unit was not working. Then they offered me another room with a loft bed reachable only by ladder (I am a senior citizen with a bad leg). Then they offered me another room in which the air-conditioining was also not working. This hotel is is a NIGHTAMARE!!!

Excellent location in Chinatown right near markets, food, temples and in the middle of a lot of Singapore attractions. Relatively cheap for Singapore and the staff are helpful.

Not Worthy

Not a good experience. Ten meters away I got woken at 5:50am lasting for at least 10 or more mins., chanting on a loud speaker (Muslim Church). Location is good, but you can hear people outside talking on the street an I was 2 flights up. Also instead of 1 blanket being full size to cover you, the blankets were 2 small ones which you had to keep one to cover your feet and the other to cover your upper body. Would never recommend this place to anyone.

Dobré ubytování pro cestovatele

Hotel byl umístěn na okraji čínského města, které je relativně blízko centra Singapuru, za které považuji záliv Marina Bay. Personál byl nadmíru ochotný, hotel byl čistý, včetně sociálního zařízení. Pro cestovatele, kteří potřebují jen přespat je naprosto ideální. Jediné, co by se dalo vytknout byla noční diskotéka, která byla zrovna na našem pokoji slyšet. Na druhou stranu se jednalo o období Silvestra a Nového roku, takže to nemusí být standardní po celý rok. Z pohledu strategického umístění za přijatelných cenových podmínek mohu jen doporučit.

短暫停留的便宜選擇

第一日到達新加坡約晚上9點，因此選擇離下一住宿地點接近的旅館，將近11點仍有人於櫃檯服務，check in 快速。選擇床鋪在上的房間，房間空間較小行李箱無法完全攤平，浴室大家共用，馬路聲音較為吵雜，對於住短暫ㄧ個晚上算是cp值可接受的住宿！
