Hmlet Kada at Maxwell

Great location close to food centre. Rooms are a bit old

Maxwell food court just 15 steps away from this location.Transportation MRT just 20 steps away.Deluxe room mean 2 roommates room, both bathroom attached shared a kitchen and W/Dryer and one front door. In your room , you can hear your neighbors talking, laughing and water running for showers.Shutting the door is very loud.Bed is positioned by the window, every time the person who sleep inside by the window will wake up the person sleep outside.Just need to be careful that you don’t trip over the bedding in total darkness.

Great location and very clean place. Staff were very helpful and friendly. As paying guests, we couldn’t use the lift as it was always occupied by people holding the lift to take photos. We had to carry the pram and shopping up and down 3 flight of stairs most of the time over the two week period. Not sure if something can be done about it.

A beautiful little hotel in an amazing area. Staff were off site but very helpful. No issues at all during the stay. We booked a small room which was fine for 2 people.

Really enjoyed our stay! Prime location, good amenities (the laundry access was very appreciated as we were travelling light), good amount of space when you factor in access to the Oasis Lounge. The cafés within the same building are also just lovely.

Room was clean and very well kept

This is a service apartment–style stay rather than a hotel. The location is excellent — very close to the MRT and a nearby hawker centre with a great variety of tasty food at affordable prices. The reception staff are very kind, helpful, and polite, which makes the stay pleasant. Each unit comes with a small kitchen and a washer, which is very convenient for longer stays. If you book both rooms in the unit, these facilities are for your private use; otherwise, they are shared with the other occupants. A few things to keep in mind: there is no daily housekeeping, so beds are not made and trash and dishes are not cleaned automatically. However, fresh towels and trash removal are provided upon request. Also, if the elevator is not working, you may need to carry your luggage up to the third floor yourself.

The room size and equipment were great, but it's ridiculous that there isn't a SINGLE hook anywhere to hang your towel, shirt, or pants. I had to pick up cheap suction hooks from Daiso, so I had places to hang items that were frequently used. Sure the wardrobe has a bunch of hangers but you don't want to stuff your used day-pants in there. Makes no sense. The room cleaning only happens on Wednesdays, so you'll also need a hook to hold your garbage in a separate plastic bag. The garbage bin in the room is just too small for a week's worth of trash. Walls are thin, you'll hear your neighbors or room mates talk on their phone, and all the activity in the shared living space - this was esp apparent when my neighbor was cooking, doing laundry, inviting her friends over, etc. The 100 year old, very slow lift is cool the first time... but a real pain in the ass to use. You have to pull open two very heavy metal gates, and pull to close them (and ensure they're very closed) before you can hit the button to go up or down. Usually by midnight the lift will stop working... because the bargoers that use the lift forget to close the gates after they've gone to the top floor. And when new guests come in or out, everyone is very confused who should be helping to open or close the inner/outer gates. It's a nightmare when you're a regular guest and all you want to do is just enter or exit the hotel on the 3rd floor. Often, just waiting for the lift takes forever - if it comes at all.

Amazing!

The location was the best for Maxwell Food Market, Dragon Tooth Temple and Chinatown. Also very walkable to MTR stations, our major mode of transportation. The little restaurants on site were very inviting and quaint. The lounge was pleasant. We once brought take out food back to eat in the lounge to escape the crowds and heat. The staff excellent, friendly, and helpful. The room was very compact. I had to climb in to get to the inside of the bed. Also I was not aware that the kitchen area was a shared facility with another room but we never used it. I liked the lounge better. The elevator was fun altho intimidating at first as it shrieked when touched. The Kada concept seems to work. For the price, it was well worth it as Singapore is quite pricey in the accommodation field. Love the staff!!

Perfect location, comfortable bed, clean and bright room. The communal (for 2 parties) washer, fridge and cooker are super convenient. No reception staff (all online only), but hotline works, when needed.
