I went to this hotel with hubby and my 2 kids. The room is old but no problem with the air conditioner and hot water. The channel of cable TV are very limited, they even didn't have any kids channel. But the location is very good. Walk 2 minutes, you'll meet 7-11, Kopitiam, and MRT station. With the new MRT... More

Unclean hotel with low service level. The AC made the room constantly wet somehow, the floor was wet and clothes a bit wet when coming home after a day out, very unpleasant. The location is great though so if you only care about location it's an ok place.

Staying there for 2 nights with my family, ordered 2 standard rooms but there is a spare superior then the manager kindly upgrade one room for us w/o any extra fee. Minutes walk to Dhoby Ghaut metro station, the only one which has 3 metro lines pass by (NE, NS, CC). Rooms are quite small and old but clean and... More

Cheaper ones were near little India Metro railway station. ..but wouldn't advice to stay there as it would give the same home town feel... The hotel... More

Only good thing about this place was the staff and close to the MRT. Had no toilet paper, so asked cleaners, and we got a box of tissues. No bedside tables, sheets were gritty and pillows were lumpy. Very noisey of a night time with people above you and down the corridor. Place needs to be gutted and refurbished.

I’m not really sure what other hotels for $100 a night are like in Singapore. But this one was well, pretty crap… Our room on the 8th floor was horrible…small, window didn’t open, and the whole room stank of mildew. We asked to move to another room, and got one which was slightly better and with a miniscule balcony. The... More

Situated at a 5-min walk from Dhoby Ghaut MRT, it is not easily visible as there is construction of the new MRT on the street, blocking the view. But there were some signs which did help ultimately. The staff are helpful and friendly and our check-in was quick and smooth (having done internet booking). Singapore tourist info brochures were available... More

The location is perfect, between famous and crowded Orchard Road and fancy Bugis area. Just walk one block passing Rendezvous Hotel and across the road to reach Orchard; and 3 blocks to the opposite direction to reach Bugis Junction. The only one problem is you do not have any view in Bencoolen Street as there is an MRT Bencoolen Station... More

If you enjoy listening to flushing toilets, running taps, rundown, cramped so called rooms, than this is for you. Also you dont get toilet paper, so we asked and was given a box of tissues. Front reception staff were helpful, that was the only positive.
