Just want to start off by saying the room was super clean and the hotel too. And although a bit small (I got the window room thankfully). A note, staff is not kind or friendly, and also check in is at 3 PM. I've traveled all over the world, and that's crazy late to check in lmao. Bang for your buck, but don't expect warmth. I'll find another place next time I'm in Singapore.

The room looked tired, not like the photos and the wallpaper had started to peel, also there were stains on the carpet. The internet was terrible, dropping out and weak. The worst though was the front desk person who was so unhelpful when we said we needed an early morning taxi to the airport. We were trying to organize this the night before but to no avail. Suggested we download GRAB app for a ride but had difficulties due to the weak internet. We managed to find a taxi early the next morning ourselves. Due to stay there again later but will consider cancelling this booking.

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.
