Friendly check-in staff–Hatta and Cherry were very friendly and responsive. Great location–so close to Boat Quay and Clark Quay. Free laundry (7am-10:30pm), with detergent provided. Functional room that has a kitchenette. Non-carpet flooring prevents bed bugs. Large fridge for cold drinks. Quiet elevator (but I hear other types of noise!). Good wifi. (1) NOISE!!! I didn’t hear much traffic noise. However, the walls and the doors must be paper-thin. I could hear every single conversation outside and even the notification sound from the manager’s cell phone when she received an Whatsapp or a text!!! In addition, there was a constant, continuous beeping sound from the central internet server, located in the middle of the hallway. At night, I could hear every single beep. As a result, my quality of sleep was very poor. (2) Musty smell in room–ventilation is very weak. This place is very new and thus this was not yet a big enough issue. However, as the property ages, the musty smell (which likely comes from mildew and mold) will not be just a discomfort, but a health hazard. (3) Cleaning could be improved–housekeeping is once per week–it’s fine for me. However, the cleaning was very superficial. (4) Safe was too small for laptops, and so I had to carry my laptop with me all the time. I actually wanted to like this place, but my sleep quality was simply too poor. I could live with other negative aspects, but since I hardly got good sleep, I really have to renew my review. I came here for business, and I got very little done because I was constantly tired and didn’t wake up feeling refresehed.
