Incredible location between Kampong Glam and Lavender MRT
Large outdoor pool with city views (rare at this price point)
Founder Rou Gu Cha (legendary pork rib soup) is literally downstairs
Бързо резюме: A massive, high-traffic dormitory for adults where the pool is great but the walls are made of paper.
Преглеждано от @stephanietrebell: I was honestly shocked by how clean and modern this place was. The marble bathroom felt so luxe, and chilling by the rooftop pool with those skyline views was the perfect way to end my day. Definitely my go-to for saving money without sacrificing style in Singapore.

The hype
Unbeatable value for the location and pool, but the rooms are shockingly small.
Reality check
The 'Premier' room upgrade is mandatory if you have more than one suitcase, otherwise you'll be stepping over your bag to get to the bathroom.
You are a solo traveler or couple who packs light
You prioritize a good pool and gym over room size
You want to be walking distance to Haji Lane and Bugis
Чистота и поддръжка
7.5
Housekeeping: Daily and generally efficient, though missed spots (dust on ledges) are common due to high turnover.
Bathroom hygiene: Functional but clinical. Grout is usually clean, but some reports of lingering damp smells.
Maintenance: High traffic means wear and tear—scuffed walls and loose fixtures are not uncommon.
Linens & towels: Standard industrial white. Clean but can be scratchy; check for stains upon arrival.
Odors & scents: Lobby smells perfumed/fresh; hallways can smell musty or like food from nearby rooms.

Често задавани въпроси и скрити съвети
Всичко, което наистина трябва да знаеш, преди да резервираш.
Is the pool actually nice?
Yes, it's surprisingly large for a budget hotel and has a nice view, but it gets very crowded in the evenings.
Is breakfast worth it?
Skip it. It's a chaotic buffet. Go to the food court downstairs or walk to a local kopitiam for better, cheaper food.
Can I store my luggage?
Yes, there is a luggage storage service in the lobby, but it can get busy.
Is it close to the MRT?
Yes, Lavender MRT is a 5-minute sheltered walk away.
Are there fridges in the rooms?
Yes, small mini-fridges are provided, but they aren't very cold.
Is it good for families?
Only if you book multiple rooms or a Family Triple; standard rooms are too tight for parents plus kids.

Walk behind the hotel to the Rochor River path for a quiet morning jog.

Use the side entrance near the food court to avoid the main lobby crowds.

💡The air conditioning is centrally controlled in some blocks and can be freezing.
💡You can hear the 'ding' of the elevator from rooms near the lift lobby.
