Waarom mensen ervan houden
- Rare free parking in central Singapore
- 1-minute walk to Rochor MRT station
- Surrounded by incredible cheap eats at Albert Centre and Tekka Market
Snel Overzicht: A charming but aging heritage hotel that trades a swimming pool for character and unbeatable hawker food access.
Beoordeeld door @travellingthroughtrauma: I loved how this place felt like a step back in time. The Peranakan facade is gorgeous, and my room had a surprisingly cozy vibe. Being able to walk straight out to amazing curry spots in Little India made my trip. Plus, the bathtub was huge!

Reality check
The 'shophouse charm' is real, but so is the musty smell in some older carpeted rooms.
- You are a foodie who prioritizes hawker centers over room service
- You are driving into Singapore (free parking is gold here)
- You need a family room with actual space to move around
Schoonmaak & Onderhoud
8.5
- Housekeeping: Daily and reliable, though they sometimes miss dusting high shelves.
- Bathroom hygiene: Clean grout and tiles, but fixtures are dated and show wear.
- Maintenance: Peeling paint on exterior windows and worn carpets in hallways are common.
- Linens & towels: Crisp and clean, but towels can be on the thinner, scratchier side.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells fresh; some older rooms have a faint musty carpet smell.
