Séjour de 6 nuits à deux personnes

Séjour de 6 nuits à deux personnes dans cet hôtel. La chambre et spacieuse, et la salle de bain très grande. Nous n'avons pas utilisé le coin cuisine, mais tout semblait être fonctionnel et à sa place. Le frigo est très grand pour ce type de chambre et pas trop bruyant. La climatisation est bruyante, nous l'utilisions en journée lorsque nous n'étions pas dans la chambre pour la refroidir. Nous n'utilisons pas la clim pendant la nuit. La chambre se réchauffait petit à petit pendant la nuit, mais pas au point de devenir désagréable. Les arrêts de bus ne sont pas loin de l'hôtel ce qui permet de rayonner sur tout Singapour en utilisant les transports en commun.
