The service rendered was great and we are very grateful because we arrived drenched from the rain as we were on a touring bike. The staff allowed us to store our wet clothes, helmets & riding boots as we arrived at 930 am which is before check in time so that we can go eat & drink something. When I asked for newspaper to stuff into our boots so as to dry it, they didn't have any. However, they gave us a call almost immediately to offer yellow pages which worked just fine. We really appreciate the help!

Everything was really good, simple breakfast, great location, the rooms were at the further back of the house, so it's not noisy at night. Nothing really to complain much about with the price I'm paying actually. Oh ya, there's no lift in the hotel. If you have large baggage, with elderly or disabilities then it will really be very inconvenient

Very near to Jonker street and the room is quiet. There is no outside noise to disturb your sleep. Air conditioning is not powerful enough. The mattress and the bed is comfortable and firm. Only one pillow per bed and the pillow is thin. There is a Shower in the room but Bath gel is provided instead of shower gel. Appreciate there is a parking lot, it’s save a lot of hassle for me

Grab does not recognise Cheng Ho Residence as a location on its Grab map, the owner was aware. The switch between shower and bath was faulty, lubricating does not work. The aircon shuts down by itself betwen 1-2am making the room warm and stuff, causing me to wake up in the middle of the night.

Not very clean looking, especially the bathroom. Looked very dated. Our shower head was changed after we were in the room for 1 hour rather than be changed before we checked in (they knew it was faulty). The toilet douche was also faulty as it sprayed out more water from the source than the nozzle, hence flooding the whole bathroom. No shower curtain. Luckily we were only there for 1 night and couldn't wait to leave

I enjoyed the quietness and spacious room. However, upon arrival at 12 noon, I was informed that I was not able to early check in, despite sending a message 1 month ahead. Due to the pandemic, the residence no longer provide breakfast and housekeeping. By my 3rd and last night, both my thrash bins were so full that I have to inform the receptionist to have someone to clear it. Its wifi connection was at its best. Due to wet weather for all 4 days, I manage to use the room and wifi alot.
