Stayed
here
for
5
nights
in
a
double
room
with
private
bathroom.
I
wish
I
could
write
a
better
review
for
this
hotel.
There
are
a
lot
of
things
to
like:
the
location
is
excellent,
it
is
nicely
designed,
the
fittings
are
contemporary,
the
staff
are
friendly
and
tried
to
be
helpful
(when
they
are
encountered)
and
the
rooms
(although
compact)
are
well
reasonably
well
appointed.
However,
there
are
some
notable
drawbacks
that
are
important
to
note
for
potential
guest...
1.
Noise.
The
hotel
is
in
the
food
and
entertainment
district
of
Tanjong
Pajar.
On
the
south-western
corner
of
the
building,
there
is
a
nightclub
that
pumps
bass
til
the
early
morning;
in
the
north-east,
a
hotel
opposite
that
plays
loud
music
during
the
day;
in
the
south-east,
a
bar
about
50m
down
the
road
with
people
enjoying
themselves
on
the
street
again
until
the
early
morning;
and
a
bar
on
the
top
floor
if
you
are
staying
on
the
third
floor.
If
you
are
a
heavy
sleeper
this
is
unlikely
to
bother
you.
2.
Privacy.
The
design
of
the
rooms
is
to
maximum
utilisable
space.
This
is
generally
done
well,
however,
note
that
your
bed
is
best
described
as
occupying
a
pod
either
above,
or
below.
Think
of
a
bunkbed
with
the
lower
and
upper
bunks
facing
into
separate
rooms.
This
is
perfectly
fine
if
it
were
properly
sound
proofed,
or
you
are
fortunate
enough
to
have
considerate
neighbours.
However,
in
my
case,
the
couple
next
door
decided
to
have
a
romantic
time
into
the
early
hours
of
the
morning,
and
I
found
myself
an
unwilling
participant
in
their
intimate
experience
sharing
the
moans
and
groans
in
the
bed
module
directly
below
them,
from
the
neighbouring
room.
I
do,
however,
commend
their
stamina.
If
you
are
staying
with
children,
this
would
make
for
an
interesting
discussion
at
the
very
least.
3.
Hygiene.
I
will
say
that
the
rooms
are
generally
clean.
However,
the
shower
curtains
were
very
mouldy
and
should
have
been
replaced
prior
to
hosting
guests.
When
requesting
for
it
to
be
changed,
the
hotel
management
were
unable
to
produce
a
single
clean
shower
curtain
for
3
days
(at
the
time
of
writing).
Because
the
shower
is
at
best
70
cm
wide,
as
you
shower
the
mouldy
curtain
will
billow
in
the
draft,
sticking
to
you
as
you
shower,
which
is
pretty
gross.
Also,
there
was
a
cockroach
in
my
room,
just
by
the
by.
4.
Size.
If
you
are
a
larger
person,
have
mobility
challenges,
or
have
larger
luggage,
this
hotel
is
not
for
you.
You
will
struggle
with
the
size
of
the
private
shower
in
particular
(as
above).
There
is
not
enough
room
to
open
anything
more
than
a
small
cabin
bag.
If
you
happen
to
get
a
room
with
an
upper
bunk,
you
will
have
to
clamber
up
to
your
bed
by
stepping
onto
some
metal
shelving
(there
is
no
ladder
integrated).
Ideal
for
a
solo
traveller
or
couple
travelling
light,
who
don't
mind
a
compact
space
in
a
busy
neighbourhood,
and
slow
and
ineffective
management
responses.
Great
value
if
you
can
purchase
rooms
at
a
deep
discount,
otherwise
at
full
price
there
are
better
options.
