Compact and bijou is how we would describe this hotel, clean and compact room but had everything you needed. We booked a short 3 night stay here and the location worked well to get around Singapore. Very helpful staff and a good range of choice for breakfast.

Good size rooms considering the price and they were spotless! The whole hotel is very clean! The lifts are great, never had to wait longer than a few seconds and the in room filter tap was a great little addition to fill my water bottle. The pool sitting area is a little on the small side and can get a bit crowded, but it's pretty standard for Singapore. All in all a great stay and would recommend!

The hotel was outstanding. Way above my expectations. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The room was perfect, very modern, fresh and tech was utilised to operate every aspect of it, open/close curtains, turn on/off A/C, turn on/off lights and for local knowledge.

This is a new hotel in a great neighborhood, near several Metro stations. The staff are super friendly and knowledgeable.
The room was small for 2 people (2 twin beds) but we were only there to sleep. Not much room for large luggage. I’m including a picture of the pool - it’s nice - but again not a lot of space, but big enough to swim some laps.
Would definitely come again

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel and it exceeded our expectations in every way. The room was spotless, tastefully furnished, and very comfortable – the bed was especially great for a good night’s sleep.
The staff were exceptionally friendly, professional, and always happy to help, which made the whole experience even more pleasant. Breakfast was fresh, varied, and delicious, and the overall atmosphere of the hotel was calm and relaxing rather than just a place to sleep.
The location is convenient and peaceful at the same time, making it an ideal choice for a relaxing stay. If we return to the area, we would definitely choose this hotel again. Truly deserving of five stars.

This is a brand new hotel and everything works well. Staff are friendly and very helpful, gave me a lot of pointers as to where to eat around the hotel.
Cannot comment on the breakfast as I did not have the chance to sample their breakfast, their air conditioning works a bit too well as I had to turn them to a higher temperature so it would not be too cold.
Overall, this is a really good hotel with good location, great staff and good rooms!

Nice hotel, pleasant staff. Rooms were clean and comfortable but very small. Unfortunately other hotel residents were extremely inconsiderate and noisy which ruined it a bit for others. The menu at the restaurant was also a bit pretentious and seemed very limited in its offering. The bar is in reception and right by the front door so you dont really feel like you're in a bar which was a shame.
Otherwise we had a pleasant enough stay.

Friendly and polite staff always there to greet you when going out and coming back in, whatever the time! Air con worked well. Was nice having automatic controls for the lights and curtains, and amusing when the robot arrived outside my door with the extra coffee sachets I asked for!! Very convenient location, for the MRT and buses, also walking. Room was perfect for me, storage possibly a little cramped for 2. Shower was powerful and hot. I had a digital door key on my phone which worked well, but you can also have a card key. You need to scan these in the lifts which is a good security feature. Didn’t have breakfast as prefer to go out and find local spots. Lots of places nearby for coffee and eating. Would definitely stay here again.

Je recommande vivement cet hôtel pour un séjour à Singapour!
L'emplacement est idéal; proche du métro pour les déplacements et accessible à pieds pour de nombreux quartiers.
Les chambres sont très propres, modernes, et très bien équipées; petites mais l'espace est bien pensé et aménagé.
Le petit déjeuner est complet avec un choix varié.
C'est un très bon rapport qualité prix!
Seul petit bémol est qu'il manque peut-être un peu d'espace de rangement dans les chambres.
