My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The room was quieter than those facing the road, but unfortunately, it had a moldy smell that I could not ignore. The service was helpful overall, with some staff going above and beyond, yet there were instances where professionalism was lacking. The location was convenient with easy access to various areas and plenty of dining options nearby. The dining experience was average with limited choices, but the hotel facilities were sufficient for a comfortable stay.

I was pleasantly surprised by my stay at this hotel. The rooms at the back were much quieter than expected, with acceptable air conditioning. Although there was a strong smell, the space was more generous than other hotels in the area at a similar price point. The service had its ups and downs, with some staff being rude when we complained about the mold smell but redeeming themselves by providing helpful information on various amenities and activities. The location was excellent, close to many attractions, although not accessible by MRT. The dining experience, while walkable to metro and other points of interest, was now available in another nearby hotel, which was a bit inconvenient. The facilities were decent, but there were some issues with cleanliness that could be improved. Overall, a mixed experience but with some positive highlights.

The hotel was okay for two people for a one-night stay despite being next to the housekeeping store, which made the rooms horrendously noisy; one after another, you hear every single noise made by guests. The service was friendly and helpful overall but turned rude when I complained about the mold smell, with staff showing no regard for guests due to being engrossed in playing Warcraft on the hotel computer. The location was not near the MRT, but it was awesome for accessing different modes of transportation like Grab, trains, buses, or cabs, slightly further from everything but good for Little India. Dining was extremely limited to toast, eggs, and sausages, but the peace was palpable. The facilities were decent, and the price was fair for the value offered.

The hotel is conveniently located near various amenities like MRT stations and cozy cafes, making it a nice and convenient spot. However, the rooms felt a bit cramped, especially with limited space to walk when luggage was placed on the floor. The service was a mix of experiences, with some staff being nice and helpful while others were not so polite. The dining experience at Suprette was great, offering cold dishes in a cozy atmosphere. The location's proximity to multiple MRT stations is a big plus, although the noise from the nearby major road can be a drawback.

The hotel's rooms in Singapore are much better than they look, with high ceilings and near the terrace. They come equipped with toiletries and complimentary coffee, tea, and a bottle of water for two people. The service was alright but not overly friendly, however, the staff were pleasant and very accommodating. The location is excellent, near Ferrer Park MRT station with easy access to many tourist attractions. The hotel is also close to China Town with lots of eateries around. The dining experience is above average, and the facilities are well-kept.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms, although quieter than road-facing ones, were quite basic and felt a bit stuffy. On the bright side, they had high ceilings and came with toiletries, coffee, tea, and bottled water for two people. The service was a bit of a rollercoaster with extremely accommodating staff, but an issue arose when they insisted on a new payment due to identity verification problems. The location was convenient for finding taxis without long queues, with easy access to amenities like MRT stations and cozy cafes. However, the distance from the MRT and the hub of Halal Food at Mustafa Center was a minor inconvenience. The dining options were satisfactory, but some additional meat and fish dishes would have enhanced the experience. Despite the issues in some areas, I found the facilities to be adequate during my stay.
