Good reception and great staff. Worth the money in an expensive place like Singapore. However, it is an older property, somewhat comparable to motels in the US.

Acceptable comfort for a budget hotel. Cockroach hole near the mini fridge. Worker still came to enter and clean the room eventhough a 'do not disturb' sign was clearly hanged at the door.

Unpleasant smell in the room

It would have been a pleasant stay if not for the unpleasant moldy smell in the room.
