Room too small for 3! Hand soap not provided.

I have traveled extensively around the world. I booked this place after reading the reviews, but was very disappointed! We booked the triple premier room for 3 of us. The photo shown on their is very misleading. The room is extremely small, to the point where you can barely walk pass the first bed to access the other two. We now lived in the post covid world, it is Not acceptable that the most basic hand soap wasn't provided!! Only 2 sets of towels for a party of 3. Shower stall had mold around the floor. 2nd floor which we stayed was quite noisy early in the morning from outdoor traffics. Poor sounds insulation! No phone in the room if you need anything from front desk. At slightly over USD 100 this is a budget hotel. Very limited hangers and storage for anything. If you are a party of 3, avoid at all cost. Location is decent surrounded by good cafes and local restaurants. PLQ mall is near by. Though not that close to subways.

Housekeeping is done every other day. Hence, just don’t mistakenly press (turn on) DND button by the doorway as a light switch when stepping out for the day. Don’t assume the housekeepers will change the mattress sheet because it’s not always done unless it’s requested at the front desk. Their TV channels sometimes have sound and other times no audio. Although front desk clerk says a technician will be in the next day to have it fixed, but it never did. Manager Laura was very professional. Front desk staff was pleasant.

For the price you’re paying, it would be better to pay a slightly higher price tag and go elsewhere. I’ve never seen a hotel that doesn’t offer some form of secure storage. The less than helpful front desk guy just tells you to leave your luggage by the front desk. While I was in the lobby he would leave for 2-3 20 minute increments leaving your belongings unattended. There’s no security personnel or key card, so in theory anyone could walk in and take your unattended items. Check in is strictly 3PM, while the front desk guy isn’t off at who knows where, he won’t bother checking if your room was previously occupied and may possible be empty for early check in, just a “the rooms still need to be cleaned.” The way this place is ran, you’re better off paying more or less for better security/value. Also the room was advertised much differently, there are no windows in the room, but I could have sworn the photos showed rooms with windows. Also please see attached video of the layer of dust under the sink that they needed time to “clean.

Good hotel

The staff were very friendly and provide a great level of service. I definitely rate the staff 5/5. The location was good. The room facilities are decent. They are going through some changes, so there were a few minor things they are still working through (like having to use little tubes of body wash for hand soap while they await the soap to arrive). I would consider staying here again if I return to Singapore. It was a comfortable stay.

Staff are polite and responsible. A female receptionist on duty helped my wife and myself book a taxi for our cruise trip. Accidently, I left my handbag, which contains our passports and credit cards, at the backseat of the taxi. When I found the problem ten minutes late, the taxi had long gone. We had another taxi back to the hotel. The lady comforted us and immediately called the driver. The driver confirmed the bag was still in his car. The story had a happy ending, surely due to the efforts of the lady. We are very very grateful to her!

Overall not bad but could use a little improvement. Touted that it was recently remodeled but could have used a little maintenance as two of the tiles in the shower were popping off! The doors were always being slammed from the rooms and it was noisy because of it. The doors had to be slammed so they would close. I don’t think I would stay there again.

Sadly the hotel did not clean the room - even when requested 3 times. The bins in the rooms were overflowing! We were disappointed that even when asked we would return to the room to find it wasn’t cleaned. The hotel is about 15 min walk to the mrt station. So great if you are happy with the distance. It was great to get around the city. Just a shame about the service at the hotel
