Sound proofing of room not very good, can hear sound of firecrackers and traffics at night during week of Deepavali. Room is clean and spacious, there is also water dispenser on every floor. Lots of dinning and grocery options available nearby.

Concierge service was good, very friendly and helpful. Suite was big and nice to stay in. Would be better if rooms were more soundproof as it can be pretty noisy from cars and even neighbours.
Gym was pretty disappointing so don’t expect to use the gym. Other than that, was okay~

A cozy and spacious room. Feels like in our own home not in a hotel room. Hotel Property looks new and the design and its concept are great and beautiful. Shall book this hotel back again in the future.
Convenience and good location. Facing roadside and kind of noisy at night.

I got a stay at this nice hotel at a well discounted price.
So the normal rate would be much higher.
However, if you could also get a ton of discounts to book and stay at this hotel, then i strongly suggest u take it.
The staffs were good and well mannered.
The room is huge with a lot of wide spaces.
Not your typical small cramped cheap rooms.
I mean for a room of two persons, u can actually fit another 10 or more.
The only downside, there is no bathtub, at least in my previously booked room. Not sure about other higher level rooms.
In a summary, totally recommended!

Expected to have two bathrooms since there are two bedrooms, but there is only one bathroom. Aircond system is not working efficiently.
Great location for my purposes. Clean and helpful staff.
The room is very spacious with at-home design, but there were baby cockroaches and the door lock (the chain type) was half-broken, the in-room light is quite dim too. The car park is not user-friendly (have to check in first to get the room key card to open the barrier).
Overall a comfortable stay, except that the carpark gate is out of order. Hotel customers going in and out of the carpark need to wait for the concierge staff to manually lift the gate-bar!
A nice studio apartment hotel suitable for travellers that prefer large spacious room with a simple kitchenette.
Pros:
1) carpark is available
2) near to botanical garden and food court
3) fast and easy checkin
4) Spacious, clean and comfortable room
5) has a fitness centre at level 7
Cons:
1) Sound proofin needed
2) apartment is quite enclosed with no windows besides the balcony and bathroom window.
