Booked far in advance for a standard room at $125USD (including all fees and taxes) per night. Easy $35USD (without tip), 25 minute taxi ride to the hotel from the international airport. Super friendly staff who surprised us with a nice upgrade to a room with windows (not included in our standard rate). The place is located in a great location right in the middle of Chinatown and near Maxwell hawker center and walking distance to two different metro stops. Unfortunately, it is on a busy road and right beside an outdoor bar that stays open and loud until at least midnight so DEFINITELY BRING EAR PLUGS. No restaurant here but they do have a nice community kitchen with FREE tea/coffee/cookies/ filtered water. The whole place seems very new and modern and clean. Rooms are small but what we expect in a big city and booking a cheap rate. There was a big step up /down into the bathroom and they don't provide hand soap at the sink, a wash rag, or a hand towel (I confirmed with our friend staying in another room that this was the same in their room too). So you end up having to use the small container of shower soap gel and your bath towel for everything, which is a little different (but perhaps normal in Singapore IDK). Staff are very friendly and helpful with tips and ideas for eating. Overall, we had a great stay and enjoyed our time here. For their reasonable rates, it is hard to beat the location and cleanliness of this place in the big city, but just be prepared for the street/ bar noise.
