We loved the quirky art deco architecture of The Great Madras, which is why we chose the hotel. The last renovation was modern but in keeping with the deco style. The room was tiny, and the bathroom was confused as to whether it was a toilet or shower, but the bed was comfortable and pillows soft. There was no service for the room, and we would have loved a new towel. The location is a live-wire of sights, sounds and smells as the hotel is in the heart of Little India with transport options close by and yummy, cheap food options. Overall, a good experience.

customer service chance

The hotel must advertise clearer that some rooms are shared bathroom ... i arrived to realise i had booked wrong room, and was then charged a premium which took me past entry and mid level hotel prices for Singapore ... as a client you AWAYS feel used, if not abused. A hotel with good to outstanding customer service would have upgraded me at no cost ... securing a repeat customer, and a good review - a shame. Front office staff seemed not empowered to make a decision like this or lacked that extra bit of customer focus. Even a small fee would have been okay. A high premium a no perhaps!

The room was very small and filthy. The washroom sink was clogged there was no hand soap. The booking was for three people, we had one bed between three of us. Spoke to the front desk she informed me there would be a cost of $40.00 for a foldable bed. If I booked for 3 adults why should I have to pay for the third adult. Extra towels were not offered. No waste baskets in the washroom. I was very disappointed.

Don’t try it at all

It was a very bad experience for us. As we were three of us staying, the largest room offered was at the ground floor right next to the bar which remained noisy almost all night long. The days laundry was stored right in front of the door making it difficult to walk through. Rooms are not cleaned unless asked for. No phone in the room so if you need anything, be prepared to walk to the front desk. Some people at the reception weren’t polite at all. Better hotels available at this rate so why waste your hard earned money?

As described.

We were anxious having seen other reviews after booking however our expectations were exceeded - we found the rooms were as described and pictured, and the beds and sheets very comfortable. The rooms we booked were basic and small but with great facilities and a very good price.

Not worth at all.

Hotel looks quite nice in the picture. In reality it has a reception that opens on the Road.. No aircon. So if one has to wait for some time to get the room, there is no place to sit. Overall not worth the price. Folks at reception are of no help at all. They have stock answers for any and every query.
