I will make it short; location wise is perfect only 15 minutes walk to nearest MRT Station, room is clean and good enough. Staffs are okay too (thank you for adjusting my room temperature everyday) No breakfast and thin wall is the only downsize. But everything worked out well when we were there. No complain about the size of the... More

We spent two nights in this modest hotel. It’s nicely located about five minutes walk from Bugis Junction where there are many shops, food courts and the MRT train. In typical Singapore style, the shower sprays water over the toilet and most of the bathroom. The room itself was musty and stale. Tip: ask housekeeping for extra towels to put... More

Singapore has become horribly expensive. Space is at a premium, so when you find a cheap hotel in an absolutely prime location you have to expect cramped conditions. At this hotel you get window-less cramped conditions if you book one of the standard rooms. The chain has a wide network hotels, many in less central, more gritty areas such as... More

A Singaporean girl I met during one of my trips recommended me this place, and after checking it out on tripadvisor and making sure that it met our needs, and that everything looked ok, I booked it. When we arrived they gave us a room on the third floor, but even though it had no windows, what drove us to... More

To be fair, we were given a standard room instead of the superior room I had booked. We should have queried it immediately but it was late and we literally fell onto the bed as we were so tired. The room was extremely small with only just enough room to walk around the bed. There was no window at all... More

The location is great, only ~7 minutes walk to the Bugis MRT station (which has cashier that sells MRT day passes and tourist passes). The rest of the transportation (bus/MRT) could be taken care of with the passes. The sights/shopping around this hotel include The National Library of Singapore, Bugis Street, Bugis Junction and two to three budget food shops.... More

Located near MRT station. There was a Mamak stall in front of the hotel. Easy for you to buy food. Beside the hotel, there was a small SURAU for muslim to go for pray. I stayed there for 2 night and only cost me for SGD200.

I have stayed at this hotel for 4-5 times and I will be going back there in July for my next Spore trip. Pros: - good location. Very near Bugis MRT and City Hall MRT. I chose this hotel because it's along the green line and I don't have to switch stations to get to the airport. From the green... More
