simulated window additional fee

the location offered convenient access to many nearby eating places and a convenience store was easy to find.

I booked a superior room, but it did not have a window. There were curtains to simulate a window. i was asked to pay an additional fee for a room that included a window but no bath.

East Coast Stay Delight!

perfect location east coast park rooftop view city escape

The hotel's location worked perfectly! East Coast Park was within walking distance, and that was great. I also found many restaurants in the immediate vicinity. The rooftop offered a particularly nice view, upgraded with the pool. It was like a true escape from the city buzz.

The air conditioning fan made a loud noise. But i still had a great stay!

The hotel enjoys a convenient location near various amenities. Within just a 3-minute walk, guests can access food courts. There is also a supermarket and a bus stop. This accessibility significantly enhances the ease of exploring local culture and necessities.

Rooms

Rooms boast a stylish, new design that provides a comfortable retreat. The high skylight roof adds a distinctive architectural element. I found the provision of complimentary mini bar items to be particularly thoughtful and good.

While the hotel does not include breakfast, a cafe downstairs offers it. You can enjoy good croissants and flavorful coffee. It's an excellent option for beginning the day with a simple, tasty meal. I found it very practical.

Excellent Stay with Great Location

fast wi-fi perfect location spacious bathroom stable wi-fi

I stayed in the Beautiful King Room. There was plenty of space both in the room itself and in the bathroom. The TV had pre-tuned Netflix, and the Wi-Fi was fast and stable. The location was perfect (it's so easy to get around from here). The bus stop is just across the road, and the rail is an easy walk.

The corridor lighting was very dim, and I found the room quite dark due to tinted windows and limited lighting.

Dining

The superb cafe downstairs offers breakfast. There are many restaurants and bars within walking distance of the hotel. Several dining options are located just around the corner.

Fantastic Stay in Katong

friendly staff rooftop pool free snacks

I found the staff friendly. Meri and Sylvia were particularly helpful. The rooftop swimming pool was excellent. I made good use of the free mini-bar drinks and snacks. It was so convenient to have lots of free bottled water.

The room was a little dusty. It seems to be an older building.

I saw the hotel provided a rooftop swimming pool with views over Katong. The lobby had a coffee machine to use anytime. Yoga mats are available for borrowing to do yoga on the roof.

The staff members were approachable and helpful. The reception staff were very friendly. One staff member gave me a restaurant tip for a local Chinese place. She waved to me from her table, it felt very cute.

Location

The hotel's location is great, right in front of a bus station. The hotel is also close to other bus stations. It's in the heart of Katong, and near the beach. Many unique food places are nearby.
