Room was OK, but..
The hotel was great, comfortable and clean. But Singapore in general has become incredibly expensive. This same room 5-6 years ago would have cost $30-35, now it's almost $70! Food prices also seem a great deal higher. And this was about the cheapest room I could find in Singapore bar backpackers' hotels and some in Little India (which, when I read the reviews, I didn't even consider).
Mind you, I stayed at this hotel before, and the rooms have been improved since. Gone is the peeling paint on one wall, the room looked like it had been recently renovated, the TV was a big LCD one rather than the tiny tube that used to be there. Geylang also seems a little more safe - no more backstreet gambling, for one, and there are fewer denizens of the night (who can be quite aggressive, particularly the male ones). They're still there, though, it's a matter of knowing where to avoid going.
