Your positive comments meant a lot to us and the Hotel Team will continue to strive to provide this warm hospitality to all our guests.

Dear Desmond,Thank you for choosing to stay with us. Small rooms are a common feature of budget category accommodation in land-scarce Singapore. Many travellers have found our hotel to be value-for-money. In fact, they appreciate the savings, given that they are out of the hotel for most of the day, spending their time with fun-filled activities here in Singapore. It is our hope to welcome you back in the near future!Warm Regards,RolandGuest Experience Executive

Dear Yap,We are surprised to learn of your review as the size and descriptions of our rooms is clearly indicated on our booking platforms. The compact configuration of our rooms is a direct result of Singapore's land constraints. Nevertheless, our rooms have been carefully designed to balance comfort and affordability. As our Standard rooms do not have windows and this is clearly indicated on the booking platform, please book our Superior and Deluxe rooms if you prefer having a window. Some guests actually like a room without a window so that they can have good sleep!Warm Regards,RolandGuest Experience Executive

Dear Kok Seng,As Singapore is pretty small, all buildings (including hotels across our city) are affected by the land constraint, which results in generally more compact configuration of hotel rooms. Nevertheless, our room offerings have been designed to provide a delightful environment for our guests without compromising comfort. The size of our rooms is also indicated on our booking platforms for our guests to make informed choices. We look forward to welcoming you back to our hotel in the future.Warm Regards,RolandGuest Experience Executive

Dear Ernest,Thank you for giving us a perfect rating and for recommending our hotel to other travellers. We are pretty sure all our hotel staff enjoyed catering to your needs as much as you enjoyed your stay. The Hotel Team looks forward to be of service to you again!Warm Regards,RolandGuest Experience Executive
If it wasn’t for those that work at the front desk this would get negative stars. Raymond & his colleagues are amazing & that is the type of customer service you should provide. As far as the room, it could use plenty of updating & better cleaning. Very old looking & very small. There are a bunch of tiny bugs that crawl all through the room & they are aware stating it may be because of rainy season.
On top of that my flight was delayed by a day due to the weather where I was coming from. They refused to refund me for 1 night even though the change of plans was out of my control & I still stayed for the rest of my stay! Regardless of policy they have the ability to make exceptions & this should have been one of them. I had no control over my flight change. Refunding me would have helped me a whole lot more than it would have hurt them. I would never recommend this hotel nor stay here again. Poor service coming from the backend but thank you to those on the frontlines dealing with all of the drama that the company does not handle properly.
If I know there are no windows in the room. I definitely would not book it. Rooms are ok but need some refresh

Dear SRINIVASA,Thank you for choosing to stay with us. Just like in First World Cities like Tokyo and Hong Kong, most of the rooms in Singapore are not big. Room rates scale exponentially with the size of the rooms. Unfortunately, high room rate offerings are not appealing as an economy-tiered hotel. We look forward to welcoming you back to our hotel in the future.Warm Regards,RolandGuest Experience Executive

Due to no window, there is a very strong foul smell inside the room. Make me uncomfortable. The bed is terrible too. Definitely there is better choice elsewhere. No house keeping, i was told it was a busy day, around evening time then my room will be tidy. Speechless...

We take the confidence you place in us seriously and work diligently to rectify the unsatisfactory experiences and it is our hope to welcome you back in the future.Warm Regards,RolandGuest Experience Executive

Dear Phong,We are delighted that you had enjoyed your stay with us, in particular the clean rooms which met your expectations. Being a land-scarce island, our room size may be small, but it is functional. Some guests consider it as part of the charm of staying in this property. We hope to have the pleasure of inviting you through our doors again. Warm Regards,RolandGuest Experience Executive
I had a comfortable stay, the staff were friendly and helpful. I had a ground floor room without windows which suited my needs as I was on a stop over so I was able to rest ,may not suit everyone.the hotel is in a good location, across the road from a hawker centre.

Nice budget hotel. Friendly staff. Well maintained facilities (room, air conditioning, and shower). Strategically located in the heart of balestier road. Would be coming back for my next visit.
as a budget hotel, the facilities are not bad. don't expect much- especially the space. but if you want something on the lower end, this hotel is not bad. it is about a 15 minutes walk to Novena Station MRT. just consider that if you plan on leaving the hotel in the middle of the day
