Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is conveniently located near Orchard Road for great shopping and dining options. While the rooms are small, they are quiet, suitable for those who are out exploring all day. However, some rooms near the lift can be noisy and have unpleasant smells in the bathroom. The service could be improved, as there were issues with early check-in and WiFi access initially. The location is excellent for those seeking a budget-friendly stay close to Orchard Road. The dining options are decent but could benefit from more variety, especially for longer stays.
The service is polite and accommodating, with considerations for late check-out. The location is convenient for shopping on Orchard Road but may feel congested with local tourists. The dining options are limited, and the buffet selection may not meet expectations. Overall, the hotel provides good value for money with some room for improvement.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location is very convenient, close to the MRT station and great for shopping and eating. However, the rooms were disappointing with a gloomy ambiance and a dirty toilet upon arrival. The service was rude, which overshadowed the otherwise good room and location. The dining options were limited and not very satisfying. Overall, a mixed experience that could have been better with improvements in several areas.
The hotel had acceptable rooms for the purpose, though they were dull and in rough condition. The service was a mix of friendly and efficient, with some unfriendly encounters. The location was excellent, right in the center of Singapore, but in a tight corner area. The dining options were not consumable, and the facilities were average.
The hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms with friendly staff. However, the dining options could be improved. The location is convenient and enjoyable, though not ideal value for money.
The hotel is conveniently located near Orchard Road, making it a great spot for shopping and exploring the area. The rooms, despite being small, are cozy and comfortable, although the air conditioning could use some improvement. The service was polite and accommodating, ensuring a pleasant stay overall. The dining options were satisfactory, but there is room for improvement in the variety offered. The location is a major highlight, with easy access to shopping malls and public transportation.
The hotel was ideally located, just minutes away from Summerset MRT and Orchard shopping malls, offering a convenient stay. The rooms, although clean and comfortable for a one-night stay, were smaller than expected with views facing another building. The service was friendly and accommodating, making the stay pleasant. Dining options were basic, and I had to explore nearby hotels for a more satisfying meal experience.
The hotel's location is very convenient, near the MRT and a short walk to the bus stop. The rooms felt gloomy, with a tacky red carpet and dark ambiance. Despite finding a used condom wrapper under the nightstand, the convenience of the location stands out as a positive aspect.
The hotel overlooks the inner courtyard, providing clean but small rooms. The 'machine' for hot drinks inside the room was noisy at night, and the lack of a shower curtain was a downside. The hotel is conveniently located at the beginning of Orchard Road, offering easy access to amenities and transportation, but upgrades are needed for better showering spaces.
