    Noise from the other room and outside the room, i can hear it clearly when people do anything

    I like how clean is the room, even though the room quite small but it so organized and the location is very convenient

    Well can’t argue with what you get for a cheaper price but be ready to habit in small tight space and definitely should reconsider if you are claustrophobic.

    The location is super advantageous. Kinda like the middle point of all destinations in Singapore. The price is quite reasonable for the local market. Staffs are really friendly and despite being budget hotel, the room service is phenomenal.

    The only thing I could really mention is the housekeeping, which I think can be a bit improved. Linen was changed often/daily, complimentary water and coffee provided every day, but I felt the surfaces could have been cleaned a bit more day to day.

    The hotel was very clean and neat. Everything was as provided in their description, no unpleasant surprises. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. It was close enough to the MRT and the bus stops were even closer. Lastly, the hotel is just across the street from a local hawkers market, which gave me great food options.

    Location is distant from MRT but accessible by bus. Bathroom door didn't close, housekeeping needs to improve. Room is small, so be ready to manage with little space

    Price is reasonable compared to other hotels.

    The room and toilet were small even for a budget hotel. Noise isolation from hallway wasn’t good as we woke up one morning to someone shouting.

    The room was clean and had all the necessities. The staff were nice and helpful. Held our luggage before check in.

    I think 7.2 mark on the hotel review is overrated, is more like a 6.7 in Europe, because of the old smell from the room and the moisture that was maintained in the room.

    The staff was friendly, basic budget, no dirt

    Stayed here for a week and found it very comfortable. Liked the fact it didn't have a window because it was storming the week I stayed so helped me sleep better.

    The rest room was so small.If you shower, the entire rest room is gonna get wet including the water closet

    A few meters away from a hawker station. Located beside convenience stores. Has aa Ijoos vending machine and a few steps from two bus stations.

    Front desk shld inform guests that hot water is not automatic & needs to be switched on.

    Lots of eateries & convenience stores around the hotel. A 5min walk to the MRT connects you to most destinations. The hotel is comfortable, quiet & clean.

    The rooms are small. There is a temple just next to the hotel where they are burning incense and the smoke is entering the room. If you have an allergy it can be a problem. The hotel is just for sleep and go, not for the long stay because there are few facilities. Just the bed and bathroom. But again it's a budget option.

    Budget hotel next to the bus stop. There are some shop nearby and good Vietnamese café. Helpful and friendly staff which can assist you if you need something. Quite good price for Singapore.

    Be great if bathroom tap can be a smaller one to be proportionate to sink. Water sprays out of the sink easily.

    Despite being windowless, did not feel claustrophobic. Room is clean and smells clean too. Getting around is easy by bus (less than 2 min) to nearest MRT station. Plenty of nice food nearby although Whampoa Market and Food Centre closed for scheduled cleaning when I was there. Pleasant and helpful staff. Will definitely recommend to others.

    They should vacuum or sweep the floor when they do room make-up, Not sure also why the ceiling have wire mesh on it. Quite far from MRT.

    The water was strong specially the shower. The Air Conditioner was cold enough to cover the area. Sturdy bed and pillow.

    No windows, fridge. Very small room and toilet. Very basic. I am not sure if all budget Singapore hotel rooms are like this. MRT far.

    You get what you pay for in terms of Singapore expense. Clean and quite. You can use the room just for sleep and toilet. Comfortable bed. Kettle available. Free wifi good. Bus stops are right in front. Receptionists very helpful, especially in giving directions. Small grocery stores and restaurants nearby.
