very good location
The hotel was near to monorail station,food court and shopping mall. It was also value for money.
We booked 3 standards room for our group (6 adults and 1 child) but while arriving they give us surprising offer to move to apartment room....we really appreciate it and enjoyed the room very much...thank you mbak Latifa!

Foods
Our stay was comfortable, clean rooms, the staff very helpful and friendly. However, the breakfast was the same for 3 consecutive days. You get tired eating same foods! The hotel is fitted for 1 night stay, not for longer period of time. Overall, we were happy with our stay. Thank you
Nice area
The hotel is situated in a good area. Mustafa Centre is about 10 mins walk.
Value for Money
The Family rooms fits our Family of 5 adults +1 toddler just fine. They were nice enough to give us 2 interconnecting rooms with 1 Queen bed+1 Single bed each. Basic setup and facilities, but most importantly its Clean. Can't asked for more with the affordable price.
Buffet Breakfast is adequate - consisting of white bread and condiments, 3 in 1 beverages, scramble eggs and local fruits. You can get your supply of drinking water (Hot /Cold) from the pantry's water dispenser.
The staffs are friendly and knowledgeable. They keep a friendly dog (ToTo) and a house cat at the ground floor, my little girl had a great time with the pet dog.
Get the map from them to the nearest MRT station (Farrer Park) , we did a mistake by taking the main road the 1st day (40 minutes walk!!). The 2nd morning, with the instruction from the counter, it took us only 10 mins through the back lanes. The nearest bus top to direct to Orchard Road is just 5 mins walk from the hotel.
It feels safe to travel even late at night. An advice to parents traveling with young children, a stroller is a must if you do not want to break you back!
All the side walks and train/bus stations are disabled friendly, hence making it great to travel with a young child with strollers.
This is a great hotel if you do not want to break your budget and do not mind to walk a bit to get to the nearest transport station.

Madras
We had a great stay at the Madras Hotel@Eminence. So very clean and quiet, if you want 4 star + this is not, but Hey you pay for what you get. Reception was more than helpful and always a smile, nothing too much trouble. Even though this is a budget hotel the cleanliness was better than some of the 4 star+ that we have stayed in over the years that we have been coming to Singapore. It is so handy to the MRT, Little India and other shops.
As we are animal lovers we just enjoyed being welcomed every day by Doe Doe the Samoyed Dog and Fat Girl the Cat. permanent residents of the Madras.
Well done Madras keep the good work up and will certainly see you again.

Ideal choice for groups on tight budget yet chooses quality and accessibility to places
At first we had a hard time looking for the hotel because its not as popular as the starred hotels. The street where it is located has a long stretch and maybe the reason why we had a hard time is because we were not familiar of the place. WE learned to appreciate our location when we discovered that right infront of the hotel was the bus stop where buses take you to different places in SG. Also, a few minutes of walk are 2 MRT stations, the main transpo in SG. In terms of customer services, the receptionists attended well to our needs. I recommend this hotel as we didnt have problems with our accommodation. They even gave us discount when we extended for another day.
The hotel was much far away from MRT stations as what indicated in the description.
Basic & affordable
If you are looking for an affordable accommodation for your family that provides a simple & basic facilities and healthy breakfast (bread, scrambled eggs, bananas, butter, jam, peanut butter, water, coffee, tea and cereal drinks) included. This is the right place for you. Friendly staff, basic map provided by the staff, small rooms but well used, TV, free wifi. If you do not fancy the breakfast provided, there is a foodcourt just across the road with a variety of tasty food including vegetarian food. Yummy Poh Piah, fried carrot cake, noddles... the list goes on.
You could either walk for 10 to 15 minutes to the nearest Lavender MRT station or catch a bus from a nearby bus stop to the MRT station to get around. Very convenient. It is also convenient to get to and from the Changi airport. Make sure to alight at the Lavender Station not Bugis Station as we were informed by the customer service at the airport station.
