After reading the reviews I booked a 5 night stay for my wife and myself. We arrived on 25 October and received a friendly greeting from the receptionist who confirmed our booking for a standard room, and provided us with our room card($50 deposit) and the wifi password.Our room was neat and tidy, the bed was extremely comfortable and the bathroom was spacious, the only downside was that floor was sealed concrete rather than tiled.
The hotel is well located, the bus stop opposite or the 2 located around the corner in Lavender St provided connections to all over the island.
As others have commented there is a food court across the road and it is open 24 hrs, the food is good and the drinks a priced cheaply for Singapore, there is also a 7/11 store next to the food court, as well as a 24hr grocery shop on the same side of the street as the hotel but a further 250 metres closer to the CBD.
We found the staff cheerful and willing to assist at all times. When it came time to check out they kept our luggage in their luggage room for us from check out time until we left for the airport at 6pm, they even booked a cab for us at the required time.
I would certainly stay there again

Based on all the reviews on trip advisor of this and other similarly priced hotels in Singapore i had hugely low expectations. However people are quite deluded because this hotel is absolutely fine.

Good location - 10 mins walk from Lavender. The hotel is a strange mix of concrete and colour and has a cool retro feel to it. The room is nice, clean, not too small. Flatscreen TV, big bed, the usual. The room is quite noisy as its next to a main road.

One thing i must say is get breakfast included! (it only cost us £4 extra per night). Its not your average buffet of cereals its a full menu of freshly cooked food, bacon and eggs, pancakes, french toast etc. It is truly the best breakfast ive had in 2 months of travelling (including some 5 star places).

All in all a good hotel, ignore the moaners on tripadvisor

I booked this hotel for my parents last week for 2 nights and really glad that they like it. the location is very convenient, walking distance from little india, mustafa and bugis. Although we should take bus or walk to nearest mrt, but bus stop to downtown/mrt are available across the street. If first time coming here, Taxi driver weren't familiar with this hotel since it was just renovated in this year, so you should be extra attentive to research about the place location.

This heritage hotel is newly renovated, it is very clean although they decided to kept its old ceramic-floor, instead of warm carpet, but this looks unique. Another impressive thing is the shower is so powerful and have 2 different choices of shower. I will just list my pro's and con's:
# pro
1. convenient area, near from tourist attraction
2. my room wasn't located in front of the road so it was quite and peaceful
3. clean room with dim lighting.
4. big flat-tv attached
5. fast check in and check out
6. powerful and mood-booster shower
7. safety box and fridge are available
8. large bathroom
9. old-heritage hotel

#con
1. I set the Aircon on 21C still not chilly
2. There was a tissue layers to scotch-up something in the window, I don't know what this aimed for
3. Floor is so humid/ without carpet
4. so-so pillows
5. wardrobe is not available, only clothes hanger

With its price and facilities, this absolutely a worth staying!
