I stayed here at the start of a five week trip around South East Asia in January 2013. I really wish I hadn't read some of the positive/average reviews in making my choice as I really can't understand how anyone could write anything positive about the place. I had expected nothing special - a mid range, budget sort of place,... More

This hotel is crappy! The rooms are small and dirty. They advertise it as a non smoking facility but the room that we had had cigarette burns on the side table. There even was cigarette ash left on the room when they gave us the room and it reeked with cigarette smoke. Both shower and bathroom sink was clogged and... More

We stayed one night in a room suitable for a family of four. Windowless, air con worked ok, attached bathroom with two showers. We were on a short stopover, so all we needed was a clean bed for the night. Very little room for luggage as the two double beds take up all the space. Anything longer than an overnight... More

We stayed here 2 nights for a stopover flight. Would not recommend at all. Room had no windows so we relied on aircon which made the whole room damp and felt like we were getting sick just being there. The whole place stunk like cigarette smoke. Bathroom floor drain was blocked so when we had a shower the whole bathroom... More

Finding this hotel was like solving the jigsaw puzzle. It takes about 20 - 30 minutes walk from Paya Lebar MRT station (easily to get anywhere). The hotel is actually located in the middle of Joo Chiat Road (if you don't mind about noise and red light district). The room was small and basic with satelite TV channel which is... More
