Cons:

1. Really thin walls. I think one's experience really depends on which side of the building your room is. Our room was facing the carpark, and we could hear cars revving throughout the night. That side of the building is also over an empty space on the ground level, where we could hear people partying loudly from evening to early morning. Very difficult to sleep. Our party had another room on the other side of the building, and while the walls were still thin, outside noise was minimal.

2. The aircon was very loud and rattling, which just added to an already noisy environment.

Pro:

1. Overall acceptable cleanliness. Staff were competent and polite as well.

2. Lots of Thai eateries and supermarkets around the area for some reason. But also a lot of closed shops.

Final note: tourist tax and deposit can only be paid in cash.

Other than the bed, the room cleanliness has lots to improve.
The sofa and chair were so badly stained that we didn’t even dare to sit on it.
The table was greasy and dirty and there were Christmas chocolates left on the top of the TV shelf.
When we opened the cabinets, we got hit with intense musty smell.
Sound proofing was bad as we could hear the noisy playing sound of kids staying in the room down the corridor.

Perfect for a night stay. Spacious with two queen sized beds. The only issue is consistent to the Google reviews; there is no shower kerb and the shower water will wet the supposedly dry area of the toilet :(

Great Hotel

Don't be deceive by the location or the outlook of the hotel.

The hotel is well maintained, clean and conformable.

I will definitely book this hotel again!

Note: To the drivers, the hotel does not provide free parking. Parking is not expensive, however the carpark is small.

Stayed on a Friday night. Room was located on the third level. It was very decent, clean and well maintained. However, we could definitely hear a lot of people talking and laughing into the wee hours from the public space just below the hotel. Thankfully my toddler did not get woken up but it sure affected me. Wouldn’t stay here again because of the noise.

Cheap but comes with a number of disadvantages.

The sound insulation was indeed as bad as the other reviews described. Woke up at 3am hearing a lot of talking from the corridor/downstairs and at 8am, quarrelling between a man and a woman somewhere else.

The area around the hotel seems to have a few Thai disco? Do not recommend going out at night as we met a number of drunk people.

Room itself was decently big. Could have been cleaner.

Eventhough the room is quite small, it is comfortable and considered good value for money. The only need to comment is always noisy in the middle at night from the lounge nearby.

Stayed one night. Didn’t sleep a wink, heard neighbours children screaming n playing and neighbourhood downstairs talking in middle of night and cars zooming pass. Stains on bed head and toilet. Plus bath n toilet not separated area so whole bathroom wet. First and last stay. Plus Expedia used my $100 for a $57 stay so I overpaid as well

Unexpectedly, the bed in the room is super cosy and comfortable to sleep in. The cons are the lights in the room is quite dark and dim, personal preference for brighter room condition. The carpet is quite sticky and recommend to provide any kind of room slipper unless able to keep the carpet non-sticky, other than these, we quite enjoy the stay.

Pretty affordable stay especially with the discounted price! It’s a decent place to stay, just that the walls are not really soundproof so can be quite prone to noise. But overall, nice place especially with the really helpful and friendly staffs!

Hotel building outside looks rundown but inside is good and clean. Was stated room slippers provided but can't find. Water shower pressure was super small. The security guards do not allow our car to go in until we pay them SGD50/- to park overnight saying they will help us \"look\" after. Felt cheated as it was supposed to be free parking being the hotel stay-in guest.

Points to consider

Location is less accessible unless you drive. Driving in & out need to get a written pass from the hotel staff in order to get free parking. Parking for hotel guests is designated on level 5, and hotel lobby is on level 2, only 1 service lift, less convenient. Area a bit rowdy at night with restaurants and pubs.

Pros - Both room and toilet are spacious, plenty of space to move around and place belongings.

Cons - Strong cigarette smell in the room. There was a cockroach in the room at night and even though I tried to take it out, it hid in a crevice on the floor and I couldn't kill it - was uncomfortable to sleep thinking about a cockroach in the room. The lift button to go down to the lobby does not work properly, had to press multiple times and angle my finger until it finally worked. The location is also difficult for Grab drivers to find, as it is hidden inside the plaza and Grab drivers can't turn into the hotel.

For one night, it is OK but do not recommend for longer stay.

Nice stay

our room was big - clean. If you are taking Grab, ask to alight at Astra Court Apartment. The isnt proper alighting and pickup point at this Hotel. So us Astra Court as Pickup point very near to Hotel.
