“Convenient location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 25, 2013

Hotel staff were very courteous and accomodating. They even let us borrow their umbrella when it rained while we were on our way out. The rooms are clean, as well as the bathrooms. Hallways are rather narrow but tolerable since the elevator is not far from the hotel lounge. Conveniently located such that bus stops and trains are just a few minutes walk from the hotel.

Stayed May 2012, traveled with family

“Decent budget hotel (for Singapore)”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 13, 2013

I had a short break over new year in singapore and booked into this hotel. Definitely budget (no restaurant or bfast) but double ensuite rooms had decent aircon, TV and complimentary coffee/water.

Singapore has a rep for small and costly and this was small for a double. A little way from nearest rails station but taxis and buses are plentiful. One of many Fragrence hotels in Ballestaire so make sure you are specific to your taxi driver.

For bfast turn left out of hotel and walk 300m MCDonalds plus a selection of local restaurants. (both sides).

Would tay again for the price, only downside is trek for bfast

“Random selection”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 20, 2012

My selection of this hotel was entirely random. I had arrived at Changhi early in the afternoon and just needed an overnight hotel. I caught a train to the city and then asked a taxi driver to find me a budget hotel.

The check-in process was straight forward and needed a passport. The room had to be paid upon arrival.

The actual room was fairly basic. The bathroom was kind of built into the shower recess such that using the shower wets everything else in the bathroom so clothes have to stay outside. Basic amenities were provided in the bathroom ie soap, shampoo, toothbrush.

The bed was adequate and I slept well.

Next morning I was up early and on my way back to Changi fo ran early morning flight.

I would stay here again if I just needed a low cost overnight room. Perhaps next time I would research the Fragrance chain on the web to compare locations first.

“RE: BUDGET AND CLEAN”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 10, 2011

We stay here about 3 nights. The hotel located at the balestier road which you may easily get a taxi. For taking their MRT you need to take 15 minits walked. The hotel environment is ok but the only things is the room very small. We booked twin and queen size bed room. Both room look small to us. However, what you expect with the prices. is a budget hotel. You may easily find convenience store and food around the area.

Room Tip: get a higher floor room to avoid car noise from the street.
