I had a surprisingly good experience at this hotel! It's super close to JB Sentral, making it incredibly convenient for day trips to Singapore. The room was clean and comfortable but lacked windows, which made it a bit stuffy at times. The hotel has great amenities for the price, though the shared bathroom situation wasn’t ideal. Overall, it's a budget-friendly choice with decent service.

I stayed at this hotel for just one night, primarily to clean up before heading to my main accommodation nearby. The location was convenient with food stalls and a 7-Eleven nearby, but I was disappointed by the lack of parking and the oddities around the area. The room itself was clean and had basic amenities, but payment procedures were frustrating and my view was literally a wall of air conditioning units.

I had a great stay at this hotel, which is just a short walk from JB Sentral. The rooms were very clean and tidy, making for a pleasant experience.

My experience at this hotel was quite disappointing. I was initially given a smoking room that smelled terrible, which I did not agree to. While the location is decent with nearby attractions and restaurants, the cleanliness and service left much to be desired, making it hard to recommend. I did find some good value in the larger room I eventually stayed in, but the stains on the sheets and lack of basic amenities really affected my stay.

Staying at this hotel was a mixed bag. On one hand, the pricing was reasonable, and getting a duty-free liquor supply nearby made for a good night. On the other hand, the neighborhood felt intimidating to some, and the overall comfort could be questionable, especially for those unaccustomed to the area. It’s not a hotel for everyone, particularly if you value cleanliness and modern amenities.
