Connor

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Not bad for a cost-effective overnight layover. The room is a decent size, however, for a hotel with a $100 smoking fine, my room consistently smelled like an ashtray. Note that there are no windows so there’s no way to fix this… The shower was also very finnicky and despite being a handheld, the head constantly came apart when using other than left on the wall. Good option for a short transit, but otherwise I’d probably stay elsewhere

Dear Connor,Despite being a non smoking hotel, some guests still persist in smoking in their rooms. Please do not hesitate to contact my colleagues at the Front Desk to help to eradicate the tobacco smell or move you to another room if available. The room windows cannot be opened for the safety and security of the hotel guests, which has always been our top priority. We do hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back.Warm Regards,RolandGuest Experience Executive

Dear Catherine,We are disappointed to learn of your review. Geylang district is as safe as any other part of Singapore, and it is one of the most authentic and vibrant areas of the city. There are police cars that regularly patrol at night and hence is a lot safer than the red light district in many other countries. This is attested by many of our guests including female travellers and families on vacation in Singapore.Warm Regards,RolandGuest Experience Executive

Just OK
Room was clean, shower was very powerful but hot water ran out very fast. Room had a little bit of an oder. Not sure if it was a damp smell or cleaning products. Room quite small but OK for 1 night transit. Street is a bit odd. Lots of brothels etc between the hotel and the main street to get food etc. and some guests were clearly not normal hotel stay people. some checking in for 1 - 2 hours only and some negotiating going on right at the front door. Staff Ok , gave us extra pillows and loan of umbrella to go to the shops.

床铺属于中硬,枕头一睡下去就扁塌。房间内有三个新加坡插座,一个万用插座。 提供牙刷和牙膏,二合一洗发水和沐浴露,咖啡和茶包。 水压非常大!! 没有沐浴帽,润发素,拖鞋,漱口杯。 没有提供罐装饮用水,楼下有投币饮料机,或饮用已过滤自来水。 房间隔音差,楼层的房间开关门声都听到一清二楚。 没有遮阳窗帘,是透光窗帘和磨砂透光玻璃浴室门。天一亮,阳光就透过浴室门和窗口照射进来,要昏暗房间又隔音的,不推荐,请绕道。

Checking-in, the receptionist gives off a bad vibe. Check-out receptionists made up for that. It’s really loud in the morning. Loud as in banging. We were on vacation of course we wanna sleep some more but it’s just not possible coz it’s too loud around 6-8AM…There’s only one trashbin provided, it’s just small so it wont fit all the trash - take outs and delivery food cartons sometimes are still there when we go back and the room was already cleaned. I know hotels sometimes has this rule that if it’s not in the trash bin then it’s not trash and therefore wont be taken out but then again—there’s just 1 tiny trash bin. Overall it’s okay just dont expect too much.
