Reviewer Type: Solo Traveller
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: ✅ it’s not far from the MRT, but it’s Singapore, so everything is close to an MRT. ✅ There is a cold water filter That’s really all I can say
Negative: ❌ The experience began with having to drag all my stuff up four flights of stairs. I did not know this, so I was not prepared. Otherwise I would have looked into luggage storage. The walk from the MRT requires a lot of uneven sidewalks/sidewalks to roads transfer. ❌ they are extremely particular with when you can check in and check out, which is fine, but you cannot enter outside of those times. I wanted to leave my bags and explore, and thankfully someone opened the door, because I (still!) have not received any answer to my WhatsApp messages. In fact they never opened them. A bit concerning! ❌ it’s still quite expensive for what you get. You get a roof over your head but that’s really about it. The AC does not always run because the bathrooms are exposed to outside, so the common room also gets hot. The rooms have AC but the beds are quite plasticky and uncomfortable. The curtains do not properly enclose the bed. It wasn’t inviting. It’s bare bones. ❌ No social atmosphere, very much just coming and going, I was disappointed and I would really only stay here if I just needed somewhere to crash.
Summary: Alright for a short stay, but still expensive for what you get and very basic
