The price-quality ratio was really good! The service was excellent and the rooms were clean. Opposite the hotel was a small shopping center with a lot of restaurants and a grocery store. There was also a metro station 900 meters away.
The wifi was a bit poor quality at times.

Room is large and comfy for the price. Staff are friendly and treat guests like family. Location is relatively convenient. Bus routes go into the city center. However, to access the MRT (metro) stations, require to take the bus to get to the stations. Right next door is a large supermarket (NTUC), so groceries are easy to get. Room has a large fridge
Issues with some other guests cooking heavy duty food (such as curries or spicy foods), left an aroma in the air around the common areas. This is not a problem with the property, more about other guests
