the rooms given were superior rooms with 2 single beds in each room.small rooms indeed. old wall paper covering the walls peeling off with holes in several areas. carpet had multiple atains and had seen better days.old and worn furniture. centrally conditioned aircond was too cold and unable to adjust the temperature.had to ask the technician to adjust it.still did not work and had to off it in the wee hours of the morning. the door too had splinters on the edges. TV had limited channels and had no remote control. wardrobe door broken.electric kettle for boiling water not working in one of the rooms. buffet breakfast needs to be improved. plus points are close proximity to orchard road, good and prompt room cleaning service,nearby eating places.

It's a basic hotel with some unfriendly and inefficient staff. Hotel is old and needs refurbishing. There is no manual adjustment to the room's airconditioning unit, so you have to contend yourself with it. Hotel needs to buy new towels and bed sheets. Breakfast not so good with very few choices. I had a horrible and embarassing experience in this hotel with one of the hotel's staff named Tam Swe Kim. She is very rude! My husband and I were already on our 3rd day and final stay at the hotel, when this lady said in a loud voice that I can't be allowed to take my buffet breakfast and demanded that I should pay her $14.00SGD before I can be allowed to eat. Puzzled, I asked her why is she asking me to pay after we have been having our breakfast at their coffee shop for the past 2 days already. She uttered again in a loud voice that I need to pay her at once and I can't be allowed to enter. There were other guests during that time who heard what she has been saying repeatedly. It was so embarrasing! I have never been treated like this before! She should have told me discreetly and in a calm manner. What she did was foul. I felt as if I have committed a crime. So I decided to go to the front desk and clarified the matter to their front desk officer. Front desk said that according to their data, our room was registered to one person only. I immediately showed to her the voucher from Asia Rooms that our room is for two adults with breakfast included. It was the same voucher we showed her upon check in. Upon seeing it she immediately handed me a breakfast voucher. She did not even say sorry for the inconvenience and embarrasment I went through. They were very inefficient. I won't go back to this hotel anymore. The staff needs to be briefed on how to treat their guests. They should treat their customers with respect!

Basic budget hotel, that is just off Orchard Road. Bathroom very small. No hair dryer. Very basic bathroom amentites. Breakfast is a basic hot and cold buffet. Not a large range of choice, but good enough for the price of the room. Staff very helpful & pleasant.

Some staff are nice, especially the room attendant. Hotel needs to renovate the room. the blanket is worn out, needs to be replaced. Location wise, it's convenient... For what I pay, It's not really worth it to be honest. That would have been cheaper base on the condition.

We were a bit disapointed with this Hotel in comparison to others we stayed in for a 1/3 of the price in Asia. A 3 Star rating seems a bit high for this establishment. The buffet breakfast was so disappointing we did not go there on the second day, instead opting to pay elsewhere. It was like a dormitory shared cafeteria.

I feel I was deceived by the web pictures and write-up of of this hotel. Everything is old, the room I was given was noisy both from outside noise and also from the guests next door. (They weren't being loud, it's just that the walls are very thin between rooms). The towels are way past their 'use by'date. They are rough and offer very little drying ability. The breakfast was very basic and you can forget about having milk in your tea or coffee. It's white powder or nothing! The front of house staff have attitude (with one or two exceptions) but I found the cleaners and maintenance staff to be friendly. The rates are at the cheaper end but not exceptionally so, especially considering what you get. The only plus is the location which is very convenient. This stay was my first and definitely last !

As for location, I think the hotel is situated nicely for business travelers looking to keep costs down. I discovered later that it is also situated near a "red light" hotel--a plus or minus depending upon your desires. While the suite I stayed in was sizable, the TV remote did not work and my windows looked out on to cement. There were stains in the bath tub and the toilet did not flush properly. Internet charges were unreasonably high especially since you could not log out and come back to the pre-paid session. Either you sat there and literally used all the time you purchased or lost it. So, the 24 hour package was properly priced but you had to use the 24 hours or lose it--unrealistic for the business traveler who's running between meetings and preparing for the next. Breakfast was equally a disappointment. The selection was minimal though the food was tolerable. I will not go back.

We thought the location was great. Room not bad, could have done with a little updating. The great thing about this hotel is the swimming pool on the 3rd floor. None seemed to use it but us and so to escape the heat of Singapore you just jump in.

Really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The location is perfect, one street behind Orchard road, I felt very safe walking back there alone. I found the door staff to be extremely helpful and polite. The pool is also excellent
