Great value for money in expensive Singapore.
Singapore is not a cheap city so finding good quality accommodation at a low price is not particularly easy. Luckily this hotel provides just that, so save some of your hard earned cash by booking a room here!
Negative Reviews
negative:
Location isn't great, too far from the MTR.
You're quite far from the centre of Singapore when you stay here, so you will have to use public transport or taxis to explore. Unfortunately getting to the nearest MTR station can take up to 15 minutes' walk.
negative:
The soundproofing is bad so expect to hear noises
The walls between the rooms are rather thin at this hotel so chances are you will hear what's going on in the hallways and rooms next door. If you need to get your head down for an early night then pack a set of earplugs so that you're not disturbed.
negative:
The rooms here could be too small for some.
Compact is one way to describe the rooms at this place, but for some people they will feel certifiably cramped. If you are travelling as a pair you might want to find a hotel with bigger rooms instead.
