Good reception and great staff. Worth the money in an expensive place like Singapore. However, it is an older property, somewhat comparable to motels in the US.

Unpleasant smell in the room

It would have been a pleasant stay if not for the unpleasant moldy smell in the room.

Acceptable comfort for a budget hotel. Cockroach hole near the mini fridge. Worker still came to enter and clean the room eventhough a 'do not disturb' sign was clearly hanged at the door.

連泊のために値段が安かったこちらを利用しました。ほぼ快適なステイでしたが、トイレとシャワーが同じところにあってシャワーを使うと床が水浸しです。比較的すぐ乾きますが、スリッパを持っておくと快適です。駅からは少し距離があるのでバスを使うと便利です。
