Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The bed was comfortable. The staff were extremely polite and friendly, the rate was good and the food in the street was excellent. Good for our 12 hour stopover.
The main reason for my stay was an early flights the next day. Great location with lots of restaurants and shops around. Also only15-20min from the airport if you are taking a taxi/Grab. I decided to go with public transit, which involves a bus to MRT transfer (or you can walk 20 min). It took around 1 hour total door to door.
The hotel itself was fine for a night. I don’t mind staying in windowless rooms, but there needs to be good lighting in the room, which was not the case. The bathroom had one very small light that made almost no difference. I also found the mattress to be very hard and would have found it difficult to sleep on it more than 1-2 nights.
Overall, i would stay again as the price was worth its proximity to the airport and the Joo Chiat neighborhood was quite nice.
Was a quick stay and suited what we needed. Great location and a ton of places to eat nearby. Close to the airport. Room was small but fine.
Staff were great.

Impressive standard for a budget hotel
Value for money. Very clean, quiet, good location, many local places to eat. Very impressive standard being a budget hotel.
Good location in an interesting part of city. On historic street, with shopping, restaurants, bars, facilities, shopping mall, food centres and more all in walking distance. Coastal park not too far away. Simple clean comfortable room. Good wifi, good shower. Very enjoyable stay. Reception staff friendly and efficient.
I have stayed at this property several times as a layover while in Singapore. Great value. Good neiberhood for shopping, eating, traportation and very safe.
Joo Chiat road is in the Katong neighborhood and a part of Perankan culture. Don't forget to visit the Peranakan mansion down the street. the bus syrem and trains in Singapore make it easy to get around. We visited Gardens bg the bay, little India, Orchard Road and the Night Safari (Mandai- Singapore Zoo) using public transportation.
We really enjoyed our stay here cause the staff was welcoming during our stay and always greets us with big smiles every time we leave to go out for the day and come back during the night:) They made our stay here feel like home!! And The room was also nice and tidy:)
