“You get what you pay no more no less”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 August 2011
1
person found this review helpful

You get what you pay: a bed, shower and TV. At least, all of them are functional. The conditions of the room are satisfactory in general, including hygiene. FYI, I paid HKD 310, on zuji.com.

The first room I was offered had water leakage, so I was offered another room, which was ok.

There is a bus stop 100m away. The buses can bring you to Bugis and City Centre. The little card available at hotel reception tell you more about which lines you should take.

The MRT station is slightly far away. If you arrive late at night, you may take airport shuttle to the hotel. The shuttle drops you right outside the hotel.

Room Tip: Make sure you check there is no water leakage. Everyone is functional. There is not much view here.

“Cheap Accomodation”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 July 2011

person found this review helpful

Stayed here just the one night while on lay-by. Found the room acceptable as was the price for the night. Went out after checking in to find the ajoining streets absoltely littered with prostitutes and pimps. Couldn't really find western places nearby to eat either, so went abit hungry that night. All in all a no frills, budget place to lay your head.

“Dirty Bathroom”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 June 2011
1
person found this review helpful

1. Bathroom was dirty and water leaked from the ceiling. 2. Porn DVD in the DVD player. It showed the management never checked the DVD player, mind you this is a family room! 3. The walk in room rate is lower than my internet booked rate, how ridiculous!
Anyway, now I know the Gey Lang area has plenty of hotels, so if you wish to stay around this area, just book 1 or 2 nights in any hotel, then you can check out other hotels' rates/cleanliness...etc when you reach Singapore.

“You get what you pay for but know need for the dirt and mold.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 May 2011
3
people found this review helpful

Very disappointing, had read the reviews and decided that it would do based on the fact that we only needed a bed for 2 nights and would be out all day seeing the sights of Singapore. The front counter staff were rude and not helpful, the room was so small and there was nowhere to put luggage other than to trip over them on the floor when you tried to get out of bed, the bathroom is all in one the shower over the sink and the toilet, the sink waste ran straight on to the floor, the ceiling mold was unbelievable and the grime on the tile floor proved there wasn't much in the way of cleaning. There is an amonia like stench throughout the place, the bugs that were climbing up the wall were not effected by the smell and the smoke detector was covered in plastic so it would not go off with the cigarette smoke the came through the airconditioning, but the best was the vinyl covered mattress on the bed. Unless a seriously budget traveller that is immune the above don't stay here..

“Budget hotel, Not too bad”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 May 2011
2
people found this review helpful

We booked a family room and found it to be clean and comfortable, the only problem we were slightly concerned about is that the hotel is located in the red light district, my teenager and her friend felt uncomfortable with the men standing around outside the hotel and the constant remarks from taxi drivers this was a red light district, but the hotel were very supportive and did not hestitate when we requested a move to one of their other hotels, all in all I think this hotel was dam decent for the budget traveller.

Stayed April 2011, travelled with family
