Small and cozy with friendly staff

3.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 24 May 2019
For a budget hotel, I think this is a good option. I had an exam scheduled at NUS, so this is very convenient for me.
The room is quite small, but it is comfortable enough. I would like to thank the receptionist for helping me find my qiblat direction to perfom my prayers. My own smartphone does not have electromagnetic sensor, and therefore the qiblat apps cannot work on my phone. But the receptionist had kindly donwloaded the qiblat app on her own phone and helped me find the direction of qiblat in my room so that I could perfom my prayers. That was very helpful and I really appreciate that.

Ms NISHA is very nice and professional, but the experience could be better if the room could be improved.There are weird water sound in middle of night, which is quite annoying and aloud, making it hard to sleep.

Dear Vanbelz,

It is great to learn that you had been impressed with the services of the Hotel Staff, in particular Ms Nihsa.

Although there are only a couple of eateries nearby the hotel, hotel guests can enjoy a wide variety of meals comprising of Hong Kong Cuisine, Nasi Lemak (Malay rice), Indian Muslim food, Taiwanese Noodles & Sichuan food. There is also a theme bistro located at the corner of this stretch of eateries, which is a less than 5mins walk from the hotel.

Dear Ahmad,

I am glad your stay had been positive and it had served your needs well. Yes, many travellers had chosen to stay with us, in view of its close proximity to the National University Hospital, which is located 2km away. Additionally, our hotel is also a favourite choice for those who wished to stay near the National University of Singapore. It is a short 700m walk to the entrance of the university grounds.
