Booked a staycation with partner at this hotel. There are 2 wings to it. A newer wing which I believe is called Orchid and an older wing. The newer wing is not bad. External appearance of the building looks old but internal is not bad at all. Was attended promptly by a friendly hotel check-in staff.
Room has an unpleasant smell to it and I would encourage hotel management to seriously look at solving this problem. It's an odd smell that lingers in the room and I have seen other reviews where this is mentioned as well. There are windows in the room and you can't open them to air the room.
Amenities in the room are pretty basic. No robe but there is 2 towel provided,basic toiletries,mini fridge,kettle and hair dryer. Coffee and tea is provided as well as 2 mini water bottles.
The TV in the room is horrible. As can be seen in the pictures,there is structural beam which blocks ones views when watching TV. Besides that,the TV reception is really bad. The quality is poor and there is snow flake images when one is watching the TV and lack of TV watching channels.
The room size is decent. Aircon was cold at first and when we reduced it down alittle,it got too warm and when we decreased the Aircon temp to cool the room again,the Aircon didn't decrease in temperature. It remained still pretty warm in the room at night.
Bathroom in the room is decent size. Shower water pressure is good.
The room has pretty thin walls and one can easily hear outside conversations and if someone is next door.
Hotel is located pretty near town. We went to Orchard Road via bus which was just a few stops away and very convenient to get to.
The hotel gives off old school Singapore vibes. Walking distance to eateries, Tiong Bahru market and there is a bus stop directly opposite the hotel that you can take bus to Orchard Road easily.
Seriously would ask management to sort out the stale,bad smell in the room. Could be coming from the air vents in the room,the carpets and it's made worse by not being able to open the room windows.
I would also suggest an upgrade with better TV size and quality as well as better TV reception.
I feel there is better option hotels to choose for the price paid and unsure if I would return to this hotel again unless the highlighted problems are solved though I do personally like the hotel and feel the room size is decent too.
Would say it's a budget hotel and ok for a one or two nights stay. But the room smell and TV is a major downfall and should be rectified by management urgently.
Thank You for having us at your hotel.
