Average

The location of the place was good ...other than that I wouldn’t recommend it . You get less than what you pay for .. They wouldn’t change sheets for my arrival nor clean towels were given . If you’re someone who likes clean spaces ,I wouldn’t recommend.

Liked: Staff & service

Very ideal for travelers that are not very fussy

We are a family of 6 and pictures from Expedia and the place looks good. So we booked a room that fits us. Late check-in required us to pay additional 'full' day. The room is so small compared to the pictures, also the room smells like food (although there are food stalls downstairs, they should have fixed the ventilation). Beds are a little uncomfortable because it was deformed and not sure if linens are clean since there were stains, and the smell of the sheets are, let's say, doesn't smell like detergent. Overall, don't expect much. You can still consider this place if you are not that fussy with a place where you just want to sleep after a long day of being outside and exploring Singapore as a tourist.

Basic but well located

It was pretty basic and the showers down right scary and the wifi goes off when the staff go home (9pm - 7.30pm). But you are in an historic building, great street and little India. Also the most amazing vegan restaurant is just around the corner.

Budget accommodation, unhygienic bathrooms

The bathrooms need attention. They need a good scrub with disinfectant and to continue to be done on a daily basis. They often smelled of urine and the seats were often covered in urine as well (which also says something about the males staying in the hostel, but the staff should set the standard of cleanliness in the first place, and clean it more regularly. My companions and I shouldn't have to wipe down a seat every time we need to go to the toilet and half my companions were male!). Nearly all the toilet doors had an issue trying to open, close, or lock them. My companions and I only showered when absolutely necessary as we could not believe we would get clean in something so dirty. New fancy tiles will only get you so far - you have to actually clean them! Our rooms were also not very clean, there were thick piles of dust everywhere.

The room was dirty and so was the toilet

Never coming back. The room we got had a private bathroom which was dirty and stinky. It did not have a wash basin for us to wash our hands or brush out teeth. The bed sheets appeared ver6 shabby and unclean. I hired out some towels and these had very bad odour, very thin and small. The kitchen facility where you wash your dishes and get hot watet was deplorable. Beside the sink was a washing machine piled high with dirty sheets amd this was where you were expected to make tea! The one positive thing about the place is that the staff speak good english and seem very helpful.

Günstige und saubere Unterkunft nahe Little India

Freundlicher Empfang und Wäscheservice waren sehr angenehm. Es gibt einen netten Aufenthaltsbereich. Die Zimmer sind nur sperrlich eingerichtet, aber sauber. Die Klimaanlage funktionierte prima und die Gemeinschaftsbäder waren sauber. Die Duschtüren klemmen allerdings sehr und heißes Wasser muss man 2 Räume entfernt anschalten. Laufnähe zu Little India. Wir waren von der Lage und dem Hotel her zufrieden. Die Zimmer könnte man etwas hübscher gestalten.

Günstiges Hotel

... leider war das auch der einzige plus Punkt. Die Bettwäsche war dreckig, Badezimmer ist ein Gemeinschaftsbad welches etwas streng riecht, das Frühstück war sehr einfach und das Geschirr musste jeder selbst mit einem alten Lappen sauber machen.
