Reviews and Ratings
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were nice and clean, although there was a noticeable paint smell that made it slightly uncomfortable. The location was convenient, especially for delicious eateries, but the distance to the MRT station was a bit far. The service was exceptional, with warm and polite staff willing to assist with various services.
The hotel is conveniently located near Novena station and good eateries on Balestier Road. The rooms are basic with old designs but not very clean. The service was excellent, with accommodating staff willing to assist with any requests. Dining options were varied, though the hotel seemed overcrowded at times. Overall, a decent stay with room for improvement in cleanliness and overcrowding.
The hotel is conveniently located near Zhongshan Mall and Novena MRT station. The rooms were very clean, comfortable, and quiet with good soundproofing. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. However, hallway sounds were audible through the front door, especially when other guests were closing their doors.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were comfortable and clean, but they couldn't accommodate three adults. It was nice to receive a personal message from the hotel manager upon arrival, although the cleanliness was lacking on the second night.
The hotel is conveniently located just opposite a mall, making it easy for me to take my child for a walk and grab a meal there. The rooms, although a bit small for two people, were well-equipped and met the standards in Singapore. However, there was a cleanliness issue under the bed with lots of hair and lint. The service was mostly friendly, but being woken up at 10 am to inquire about my check-out time was a downside. The location was very convenient with good food options nearby, although it was a bit further from Marina Bay than expected. The dining experience was good, simple, and better than expected. Facilities were sufficient for a comfortable stay.
The hotel offered clean and spacious rooms with good soundproofing, although hallway sounds were audible. The service was accommodating and friendly, especially with dietary needs. The location was prime but a bit far from tourist spots. The dining experience was excellent but slightly pricey. Overall, a comfortable stay with some minor downsides.
During my stay, the hotel rooms were very quiet with good soundproofing from the outside and between the rooms. However, hallway sounds were audible through the front door, especially when other guests were closing their doors. The rooms, despite being comfortable, were on the smaller side.
The hotel rooms are comfortable for an overnight stay and perfect for business trips. Despite a hiccup with the room change due to unavailability, we managed to secure the originally booked room after some insistence. The service was mainly amazing, with a few areas where improvements could be made. The location, although a bit far from tourist spots, was fantastic for our needs. The dining experience, while not exceptional, offered some fresh, made-from-scratch options. Overall, a decent stay with some great aspects and a few areas to enhance.
My stay at the hotel was quite average. The rooms were clean enough but quite small, typical for Southern Asia standards. The service was not very courteous, and there were too many underlying procedures to follow. The location was convenient with good access to public transport, but nothing extraordinary. The dining experience was not impressive, and the hotel facilities were just okay.
