Absolutely exceeded my expectations! Located in the East Coast area, this hotel sits in a mature, vibrant neighborhood just steps away from East Coast Park. It’s got a much more authentic local feel than the bustling city center, yet getting to major attractions is super convenient—just 15 to 20 minutes by bus. The value for money is outstanding, and the staff went above and beyond by upgrading me to a double room without any extra charge. While the room isn’t large—understandably so given Singapore’s premium real estate—the quality, cleanliness, and thoughtful touches make it feel spacious and welcoming. I especially loved the Penakaran-inspired decor in the lobby, which adds a unique cultural flair. A great choice for travelers who want comfort, convenience, and character all in one.

I only stayed for a few hours during a layover, so the compact size wasn't an issue at all. It's perfect if you're just looking for a quick rest between flights or don't mind a cozy space for one. Honestly, being alone in the room made it feel charming and intimate—really enjoyed the minimalist vibe. That said, it would feel way too tight with two people. Still, I’d definitely recommend it for solo travelers who value convenience and a quiet retreat. The location is great—close to the transit hub, super easy to get to, and the whole experience was smooth and stress-free.

What really stood out was the amazing customer service: after my sister accidentally left her dental floss behind, I reached out via email, and the front desk team not only responded promptly but also helped retrieve the item after check-out. That level of care and attention to detail truly made a difference. The housekeeping staff and front desk were both professional and friendly. I highly recommend this hotel for travelers looking for value, cleanliness, and genuine hospitality.

The hotel is well located and surprisingly comfortable despite the compact room size—every inch is thoughtfully used. The amenities are complete, including a free mini-bar and a bidet in the bathroom, which I really appreciated. The staff were warm and welcoming, always ready to help with any request. It's just a short walk from Haji Lane and Sultan Mosque, perfect for exploring nearby attractions. There are also plenty of halal dining options around, which is a big plus. The closest bus stop is right outside, but the Bugis MRT station is about a 500-meter walk—slightly far if you're carrying luggage or in a hurry. Still, the overall experience was excellent. Great value, great vibe, and highly recommendable.

Not only did they assign us a peaceful room, but they also surprised my friend with a thoughtful little gesture to lift their spirits. It wasn’t anything fancy, but it was the kindness behind it that truly mattered. The room was serene and perfect for relaxation. A small suggestion: more coffee pods and tea options would be great—there were only four of each, so we had to keep calling for refills. Other than that, everything was excellent. I already know I’ll be back next Christmas for a family gathering. This place has a special charm and delivers on comfort, care, and value.
