"How did it strike you on arrival?Beyond an untidy metal lattice-clad exterior is a surprisingly on-point lobby that resembles a hip co-working space, with long tables and workbenches, a cafe-bar and mod industrial-chic chandeliers. Nice. What’s the crowd like?Young hipsters, backpackers on a "splurge night", those looking to strike a balance between a great stay and a good price. The good stuff: Tell us about your room.Superior Double Balcony View. At 49-square-feet it wasn't a space to lounge around in, but it's cleverly designed so I didn't lack anything, from bedroom slippers to a wine opener. Two mid-size suitcases would be a real squeeze though. We’re craving some deep, restorative sleep. They got us?The mattress was on the soft side but that didn't prevent me from getting a restful sleep. Nothing special about the sheets and pillows. How about the little things, like mini bar, or shower goodies. Any of that find its way into your suitcase?The free mini-bar selection (Coke, water, potato chips and M&Ms, replenished daily) was a pleasant surprise especially at this price point. Would steal: The rather stylish custom-designed coat rack in black and bronze. Please tell us the bathroom won’t let us down.Shower area was a bit small and screened from the bedroom by a curtain. Water pressure was ok. A nice touch were the fairly thick towels and soft grey bathrobes. The products (house brand) included handmade organic soap that the hotel says helps keep skin moist in Singapore's tropical climate. Maybe the most important topic of all: Wi-Fi. What’s the word?The signal was strong and it was free. Anything stand out about other services and features? Whether it’s childcare, gyms, spas, even parking—whatever stuck with you.The in-house cafe only serves beers, but there are plenty of cafes and bars nearby. No pool either but the community pool at the Jalan Besar Swimming Complex is only a few minutes walk. A rooftop chillout area is in the works. What was most memorable—or heartbreaking—about your stay?Memorable: Being smack in the middle of Singapore's hipster cafe hub. Heartbreaking: The rooms can be smaller than expected. Prep yourself for truly tiny. Bottom line: worth it, and why?It's got cool rooms in a hipster neighborhood close to plenty of popular cafes. Quality, design-centric accommodation plus good prices is very rare in Singapore." - Audrey Phoon
