Not worth at all.
Hotel looks quite nice in the picture. In reality it has a reception that opens on the Road.. No aircon. So if one has to wait for some time to get the room, there is no place to sit. Overall not worth the price. Folks at reception are of no help at all. They have stock answers for any and every query.

It’s an average 3 or 2 star hotel. Inexpensive for Singapore. Singapore accommodation cost is amongst the highest the world world. Selected this hotel as it was near a MRT station and only needed a night stay.

Building is not properly maintained as there were peeling paint not touched up. Sheets were also stained and there was a weird smell when I went into my room. The counter staff was also very slow in facilitating my check in.

i’ve heard many good things about this hotel in the past but now that I’ve gotten my chance, it’s just pure disappointment. Here are the issues: The check-in receptionist couldn’t be bothered with our enquiries, the plugs & room lights constantly switched on and off by itself, the wifi router in our room also fell out of the ceiling on the first night, causing us terrible wifi connection on our devices & no connection on the tv. We couldn’t watch tv throughout our stay, the management came in and checked on our situation and told us they would put us to a different room if the wifi router can’t be fixed, in the end nothing happened, they didn’t get back to us about anything. Lastly, this is the first time that I’ve stayed in a Singapore hotel that has cockroaches, 3 to be exact. Book this hotel only if you don’t mind any of that.

Property can use some maintenance. Also, the property is likely used for isolation/quarantine purpose. It should be made known to other staycation guests.

Staffs should clean the public shared toilet daily , make sure no one smoking in the toilet or their room as it is indoor! And it’s kind of unpleasant smell for those non-smoker.

Horrible Experience, please go somewhere else
1. Customer server is surprising horrible, the receptionist simply point around when asked for directions.. 2. Hygiene, tissue paper was left in one of the drawers, portions of the bed wasn't tuck in properly due to improper sizing (of the bed sheet) 3. Facility, room door is partially spoiled, find it difficult to lock 4. Hygiene, everycorner is dusty, flies seen 5. The most concerning concern is Hotels.com' "About your room" did not specify that the toilet is shared Overall experience is worst than foreign workers' dormitories.. and that we had to check out way earlier than expected due to some of the customers decided to watch action movies without earpiece (very loudly) while enjoying his dinner at the shared space

Worst.
I was a horrible stay. Me and my fiancé actually did a very last minute booking, so this i could say was our fault. But we werent aware that the room booked was a hostel instead of the usual hotel rooms. Upon arrival we were greeted by being locked outside for a good 10 mins until a occupier came to go back to him room with the access card. Upon reaching the reception, i had to call the hotline to get the receptionist to come out attend to us. If thats not the worst, the receptionist told us we need to deposit $100 in CASH. Which was not stated anywhere during our booking that is needs to be in cash. Please enlighten who will be holding $100 cash everytime? She told us to go to the nearby 7-11 to withdraw, upon arrival at 7-11 they werent able to withdraw such an amount. So me and my fiancé had to walk all the way to bencoleen plaza to withdraw cash at the nearest atm. Came back ti the receptionist with sweat all over and passed her the cash. She passed us the card and directed us to the hostel main door. Which i was taken aback, since when i book hostel? To my disappointment, it was indeed a hostel room with shared bathroom!!!! Wasnt indicated on my booking! We paid about $80 plus for this? Are you serious? We didnt stay at all, me and my fiancé checked out within the next 30 minutes and promised to never come back here or recommend anyone for this place. No proper indication of the room details and such. What a terrible led down.
