Good for walkers

This is a review of the Deluxe Single room (no window). FYI you need to deposit $100 before you can check in to ur room, it doesn't say it in any booking apps so bring an extra $100 for that. They say it's in case of any damage you might do to the room. When you check out, you will receive back your $100 but if you check out late you won't get the money. I'll start with the pros of the room, the room has a good design and it's a good budget room. The wifi is very good and fast. There are 4 charging ports in the room for those who need them. The bed is very comfortable and soft. Now I'll list some feedback, first of all the room is very small, it's smaller than what the pictures shows. The room I booked has no fridge but also no chair not even a stool. There were also some dust near the rubbish bin (see pics) so the housekeeping might have missed that. The walls are thin so it can be noisy sometimes so keep that in mind. The shower water isn't hot enough it's kind of lukewarm. The check out time is 11:00 while most hotels are at 12:00, not sure why they do this. I would only recommend staying in this hotel if there is a discount, because for the price you can book other hotels that are better like the hotel right beside this.

The Good 1) Big Balcony with table and 2 chairs. 2) Relatively clean room 3) Good service. Requested for a different room as given room has a loud humming noise. Was given the room beside which is ok. 4) Relatively good location. There are small restaurants around, a coffeeshop opposite and City Square shopping mall is about 10mins walk away.
The Bad 1) There were stains on the quilt cover and the bedsheets. Cleaner said the fresh laundry came like this. 2) Balcony has 5-6 aircon compressors blowing warm air. 3) The room does not have a table to put a laptop. So the only way is to do any work on the bed. If you are not teleconferencing, you could go to the several cafes to do your work. 4) Hotel does not offer any complimentary parking as it does not have any parking lots. There are parallel parking lots in front of hotel and a public parking area just beside the hotel. Believe it costs about $15 for a full day parking.
Overall, the stay was fine as I was alone and just want some quiet environment to do some study and relax. Felt that the room would be too small if it is for a family, unless you are just going to come back to your room after a long day.

An average hotel not far away from centre of Singapore. MRT station is nearby. We reached little early at around 11 am. They were very strict with check in time, so early check in was not possible.We were so tired so decided to go to one of relatives place. Came back again after lunch at around 2.30 pm. It was a family Room But very small literally no place to keep our luggage. Room has no windows which is strange. Room service was ok , mostly they communicate through what’s app. Even for water I had to what’s app because no one was picking up the phone. But got it even at 11.30 at night. Didn’t try wi fi so cannot comment. It has a restaurant just near the entrance. Lobby was also very small. But pretty small one I don’t know about menu options because I didn’t try. Lady at the reception was too busy and not much attentive to our concern even though we had a small baby with us.But I had to stay for one night so no complain. At this cost in Singapore I will recommend it if you don’t have to spend too much time at hotel.Overall it was a comfortable stay.

Dear 319nishants, Thanks for the great review. As our hotel is fully booked most of the days, it would be difficult for us to give a much earlier check-in time as our housekeeping would need some time to get the rooms ready, Having said that, we definitely will allow our guests to check-in early should there the room is ready. :) We hope you stay with us again and be sure to use our promo code "35OFF" at our website for exclusive deals! Regards, Danny Harbour Ville Hotel, Hamilton

The room looks totally different on the pictures. The premiere king room that I booked is only available directly next to the reception where people pass by the whole day and it’s super noisy. There was nothing written in the booking or on the website, that this category is only available on the ground floor and switching to an upstairs room would be an extra charge. In my opinion, it’s a no go for a hotel to inform about that after arrival and take an extra charge for moving to another floor!

Please accept my most sincere apologies and we will thrive to do better. Regards, Danny Harbour Ville Hotel, Hamilton

The room is totally noisy, you can hear what people in the other room are talking about. When I stayed there for 2 nights (11-13 Jan) there's a family who book 3 rooms, they stayed up till 4am, and they opened all the doors, shouting, talking, opening/closing the door. When we complain to the receptionist, she said she has informed the noisy guests, but there's no other things that they can do.
I'm pretty sure my bed has bed bugs, cause my legs get all itchy. When I asked to switch to other rooms, they said the other rooms are smaller and that I have to pay extra (what???).
Once you enter the hotel lobby, straightaway you can feel the stale smell. From the old/dusty sofas, carpets, un-washed towels, etc. Also since the aisle is quite cramped, you hardly can walk pass when there's cleaning lady lorry, and worst is when you try to walk pass, the cleaning lady gave you a stare as if you shouldn't walk through the aisle when she's cleaning (again, what???).
Stay at your own risk!

Had booked the hotel on the condition there were a breakfast, tour desk and concierge which they did not have. Also bedroom we were given was like a prison cell. It was stuffy, the air con could not be controlled and in a poor district. Considering the price of the trip it was totally unacceptable. Stayed one night having to pay extra to move to better hotel. The staff were not vey helpful. Would advise not to stay there.

Nice renovated lobby. Staff are very friendly and accommodating. Room is very clean which is very important to me.
This hotel is conveniently located at the corner of lavender street and walking distance to Bendemeer and Lavender MRT. No lack of food as there are many local eateries around. Also walking distance to many cafes in tyrwhitt road.
For the price I paid, this place is a hidden gem!
