★★★★★“I don’t understand the negative reviews. I booked a three bed room for three nights to go to a wedding with my two kids for $300 total. To expect anything fancy for that money is silly. The staff members were extremely friendly, the showers and toilets were clean, the air conditioning was great, the room had an automatic lock and the location was fantastic. Yes, the building is run down and a bit dusty but it’s an old building with lots of character.”
★★★★★“Great location! Close to the station and there’s heaps of places to eat nearby. The rooms are basic but have everything you need. Beds were very comfy and the air con is great. Shared bathrooms and toilets were always clean. Staff are very friendly! If there’s anything you need (towels, hair dryer, etc) just ask at the desk and they’ll give it to you. An amazing place to stay! :)”
★★★★★“Really nice get what you're given which is great staff and friendly faces. Room does the job, no window no matter, air-conditioning worked up to scratch and to help as well. Optimal location central and right next to mrt. Mr john was the goat and gave us really good and useful directions to the coach stop and gave us advice. Highly recommend (unless you want to do the deed)”
★★★★★“Very basic and old. If you want only to spend a night without breaking the bank it’s the place to go. Did not use the shower as there are a lot of small bathroom flies. Toilet has no trash bin. Handsoap diluted with water. Strong wifi connection. Friendly reception. Lots of singaporean/chinese resto outside.”
