Clean, great staff, perfectly functional. Small rooms if you have much luggage (two suitcases plus a daypack is a squeeze). Two people would have to be VERY understanding of each other's needs! Great for a single person though. Awesome location in Chinatown, right next to Chinatown MRT station, which has multiple lines. Lots of buses as well, but that's all over Singapore. No real downsides unless you're a diva.

This is a very basic hotel. What it lacks in anything in the way of style or extras is made up for by location, location, location. It’s a perfectly fine hotel for those on a budget. It’s a brilliant hotel form walking around most of Singapore city.

Small cramped room, mold in the shower, nearly 300.00 for just 2 nights, didnt even have a window, and the walls were extremely thin, dirty air conditioner, old scratched up furniture. But the staff were lovely and very accommodating, and the location is good as well.
