Getting there
Great for walkers
Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travellers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
I chose this hotel mainly because it’s in Chinatown where there are lots of food stalls and bargain goods. I wasn’t expecting too much from this hotel as their rate isn’t that expensive. But lo and behold, i was surprised by the Class A service i got, the staff were very polite, friendly and accommodating, the rooms were nice, aircons were in good working condition. Special mention to the lady from fookien doing the room clean up, very friendly and honest, i left my wristwatch on the table and some bills and coins, i wasn’t touched at all. It was a great stay at a reasonable price. Great location, great place to stay. Simply class A in all aspects

Not a good experience. The pillow had some smell. Worse smell came from the small bolster. I was too tired to complain to the hotel. I just 'isolate' the bolster to the corner of the room and avoid the pillow parts that did not smell good.
Otherwise, it is situated at a good location.

The room is cozy enough for an overnight stay, with some kind of elemental vintage vibes. The front desk staff and the housekeeping attendants all portrayed very good service, specifically the Indian lady who really made sure that the room was alright. The location is a plus as well.

I stayed at this hotel before, and left a good review from my last stay. This last stay was absolutely horrible. I was given a 3rd floor room and when I entered, it reeked of mold and mildew. There was a hole in the ceiling covered with clear plastic and the walls were all peeling and covered with spiderwebs. I immediately went back to reception and asked for a different room. She personally showed me a new room down the hall, which was adequate, and I insisted she look at the original room I was assigned. She had no words to describe it.
The new room was much better, but definitely not perfect. The toilet was dirty, and didn't look like it was cleaned from the last guest. When I prepared to go to sleep, I pulled back the covers, and saw that the bottom sheet was not even long enough to cover the entire mattress and had a huge rip in it too!!! Obviously the housekeeping team doesn't care about their work, nor the guests that pay their salary. Luckily the housekeeping cart is left in the hallway, so I was able to get a couple new sheets to make my own bed.
After 1 of 5 nights that I was booked, I asked the manager if I can get a refund of the remaining 4 days. Thankfully, he provided me a refund. Otherwise, I'd fight it with my credit card company, as I would not stay another night there.

We're do I start with this poor excuse for a hotel? Broken toilet, shower broken, missing tiles,broken light,filthy carpet,bed sheet not fitting by 1m,the list goes on l feel ripped off how much we paid for this so called hotel. The receptionist she was not interested about the room failings, she was more interested in talking to her friend. I would urge people to avoid this establishment it's a waste of money.

Very Disappointing experience. Room was very dark, there were no elevators so we had to drag our luggage to the third floor. And nobody offered to help us with our luggage. The room was very small and the hallways and room smelled moldy. Booked another hotel immediately.

The room we 'stayed' in had mould on the ceiling and walls, all over the place - almost impossible to breathe, let alone sleep. This is in addition to the condom wrapper found behind the bedside table. The TV would not turn on . The front of 'house' staff in the morning and evening were, for want of a better term 'disengaged' .
Apart from the very cheap price, not recommended - maybe for backpackers who are ok with the lax cleanliness and no issue with inhaling poisonous spores.

Wow... I can't believe this hotel is actually allowed to stay in operation. we origanaly booked thos hotel under the name of ZEN Rooms but on arrival was told that the place does not exist any more (Thanks a lot booking . com )lucky they had a room available so we thought.... lol. Thankfully we didn't need to stay, We were returning from a cruise and needs a base for our cases for a few hours at a cost of $100. I couldn't have slept in those conditions, we got a shower and that was bad enough. Absolutely awful hotel dirty musty and needs closing down. Location is great, so it's such a shame about the conditions

Hotel doesn't offer breakfast. You are right at Chinatown, walk across the alley and you see all the shops and restaurants. In the morning you can go in the complex inside the food court with lots of food options. In the evening there street food. No. you don't need deposit.
There are more places to choose from in the Singapore area.
