Top Taman Merdeka Hotel Reviews

Hotel O Villa De Rose

10/10 Excellent

"I will share my experience but its based for myself. If you need a hotel which is close to JB Custom and Singapore and it's very affordable then you may give this hotel a try. The photo of the room are on the various hotels platform and you can read other travelers review. The room may not be suitable for you if you are fussy and grumpy. For me the air con is very cold and the bed is very nice to sleep thus this is a big asset to me. The shower is not hot but neither cold. If you look from the perspective of price and decent sleep it's ok. If you feel"
