The hotel is located at a better-than-expected area. 1-minute walk from the serene, chic and artistic Joo Chiat Place. The Nonya food at Chilli Padi (11 Joo Chiat Place) was simply wonderful! There's a nice old Chinese temple behind the hotel.
We came back at around midnight and the are was not as noisy as we thought.
It's a good 15 to 20-minute walk from Paya Lebar MTR. If you have luggage, catch a cab from the MTR to the hotel. Otherwise, it's a nice walk with many shops along the way.
It's only 5 to 6 stops from Expo and Changi Airport.
The room is small with little floor space besides the bed. There's a kettle, hair dryer, internet, TV, shower - the basic stuff. We asked and received 2 extra pillows!
If you just need a clean firm bed for a good quiet night's sleep, you can consider Hotel 81 - Sakura.
