Hotel is just exactly like the photo. It is a clean, cozy and comfortable hotel. They have iron for clothes, kitchen, water dispenser for cold & hot, hair dryer, toilet and bathroom in common space so you need to share with others. When I stayed there I did not need to queue for all of this. Please ensure your mobile phone can use WiFi to get your room e-key. There is an admin who can reply or answer your question for 24 hours by WhatsApp. I will stay here again next time. Thank you.

Very recommended for a solo traveller who wants to have some private space instead of a hostel. The staff are super friendly and helpful if you have a problem regarding check in/out, you also can leave your suitcase at the front lobby when you check out in case you want to explore more for the day. The shared bathroom at the 4th floor is clean and nice. Overall very great experience, thanks!

The hotel is clean, and the AC is okay but not recommended for families and couples, especially those with small children. I happened to take a single bed because my husband and I were there, initially because the reviews were good and the rating was above 8, I just took it but when I arrived at the location, it was a bit like I was pranked 😅 because I had to self check in and download the application from my cellphone first, then it was really slow because I had to scan my passport and wait for the key in the application to turn on (it's digital, so you have to be patient 😅). There was no staff or receptionist at all, I was forced to chat with the admin's WA, so it was double the work. From the application yes (digital), from the admin also yes (manual). When I arrived at the room, I was even more pranked, the room was quite narrow and the position of the bed was really weird, it was on top! 😅 then the stairs up, just a table and a makeshift step. It's really dangerous if you slip, especially if someone just wakes up and is still half conscious, I don't really recommend it, especially if you're pregnant, plus the bathroom and toilet are really far away 😅 you have to leave the room and go up to the 3rd floor, joining the other guests (the girls' bathroom is on the 3rd floor, the boys' bathroom is on the 2nd floor). If you need to poop or pee in the middle of the night, just imagine it yourself. For the location in Chinatown, there are lots of places to eat and you can walk to the mall and MRT.

Dear Valued Guest, Thank you for sharing your comments with us. For your convenience, our self-check-in app allows pre-registration up to 6 days prior to your arrival. Simply connect to the hotel's WIFI upon arrival to complete verification and receive your digital key. This enables seamless room access and ensures high privacy, allowing for a fully autonomous check-in and check-out process. If you prefer a room with an attached bathroom, we recommend booking at ST Signature at Tanjong Pagar. For the convenience of elderly or mobility-challenged individuals, we highly recommend requesting a lower bed for easier access. We greatly appreciate your feedback and will use it to enhance our services. We look forward to having you again to serve you better.
