- Shirley Paz (10/5): Good location near Tan Tock Seng Hospital - The staff are courteous and very helpful. Great location near to hawker center, mall, laundry shop, restaurants, and Tan tock seng hospital, where I had my training. Small room but the price is fair enough

- D Terpal Singh Sidhu (5/5): - The staff was nice The toilet was very small, not like what was displayed in the app. Room also was not as was displayed in the app. The bed was hard also.

- Hui (5/5): - Place very convenient The bed is very uncomfortable 😖. The spring of the mattress is very poking. Think it's time to change .
- Ting Ling (5/5): - tv not working well , double image for room 109 and toilet wasn't really clean (smelly)
- Yujun (1/5): Terrible and dirty room - The front desk staff was friendly and the communication was smooth. The environment is terrible! The room was so small that it was difficult to even open a suitcase. The photos use very heavy filters, which make the room look small but clean and cozy, whereas in reality there is almost no ventilation, the humidity is extremely high, and there is a strong smell of mold.
The bathroom has no separation between wet and dry areas, which is likely why there are no photos of the toilet in the listing — it is very dirty. The shower head is positioned directly above the toilet. The front desk also told me that I need to run the water for about ten minutes before showering in order to get hot water.
Were these issues mentioned anywhere in the hotel description? Later, I stayed at a much better hotel for less money. The conditions at this hotel made me feel like I had gone back twenty years, to a shady budget hotel in a developing country.
I stayed there for 2 hours and then left after I found another new hotel. i couldn't even stay there, let alone sleep there for several days. Btw, the hotel still charged me 2 night fees for these 2 hour stay, even if it's not a place to live for people in 2026.
- Beate (7/5): Für den Preis vollkommen in Ordnung. - Sehr sauber, sehr freundliches Personal,
gute Lage, Bus vor der Haustür,
MRT ca. 1km entfernt,
kleiner 7 Eleven nebenan,
super (sehr günstig, sehr gut) Essens Gelegenheiten direkt gegenüber. Kein Fenster im Zimmer.
(Würde ich nicht mehr machen. Auch wenn man nur kurz in der Stadt ist.)
Schlechte Lüftung trotz Klimaanlage.
Fernseher flimmert. (Ist aber nicht so schlimm, weil man ja nicht zum Fernsehen in der Stadt ist)

- MUSTAPHA (5/5): ... singapore - The service and the staff. They were Very nice. And the property was clean - tiny room, very small
- window can be either open or closed during the whole stay as it should be opened by one of the staff and closed each time u want to open it.
- You can hear people in other rooms caughing ot using toilette

- Shrijith (7/5): -
- 川燕 (9/5): 整体性价比很高相对于新加坡来说 - 前台经理服务很好很热情,还可以说中文,地段做公交车都很方便,附近吃的也很多,地铁有一点点远,不过也还可以 如果窗户可以打开就好了
- Takayanagi (7/5): 従業員さんが親切!バス停が近くて便利。 - 従業員さんが優しかったです。
チェックアウトの際Aaronさん、Teddyさんがとても親切にしてくれました。チェックアウトした後Grabの配車を外で待とうとしたら、まだ時間がかかるから中でどうぞ、と言ってくれたり、車に荷物を乗せるのを手伝ってくれたりしました。(名前が分かったのが彼らだけですが、その他の従業員さんも私が大家荷物を持っているのを見てドアを開けといてくれたりと皆さん親切でした)
電車(地下鉄?)のノベナ駅からは少し距離がありますが、ビフォーバレスティアプラザというバス停が歩いて2分くらいにあって便利でした。マーライオン公園にもそこから行けました。 シンガポールの中だと低価格なホテルですし、予約の時点で分かっていたことですが…。
窓がない部屋なので、ちょっと閉塞感がありました。また、シャワーがトイレにかかってしまうので少し不便でした。
- Lee (10/5): -
- MA (5/5): Not recommended - Very small size, not recommended Very very small
- Seet (5/5): - King room is not king sized bedroom.
Waited 20-25mins for the house keeper to combine 2 single bed to become 1 bed.

- Ng (10/5): - The staff here are really friendly and helpful. The room is cozy and feels just like home. I requested two extra pillows at night and the receptionist happily arranged it for us. I also left my charger behind and they kindly kept it for me — really appreciate that! Great location, excellent service, and totally worth the price. Will definitely come back again!

- Terry (8/5): A lovely location from which to explore Singapore. - The staff were very friendly and helpful. The location was very close to the bus for getting into and out of the city. And great street food across the road from the accommodation. A bit difficult to find as there wasn’t any obvious signs outside, we walking past it a few times.

- todd (8/5): Overall, it was pleasant enough. - Quite far from the MRT, but the staff always helped me getting transport. Shout out to Graceson and Sharon for helping me out. The lift is a bit clunky.
- Pedro Filipe (7/5): -
- Mona (5/5): Tiny room not far from Little India - Friendly staff and helpful. We got an upgrade for a room with a window. The room is tiny, and may not be suitable for folks with big suitcases. It was ok to stay for one night.
It is a bit of a hassle if you're coming from or heading to the airport. There is no MRT station close by, only buses. No laundery close by either. Finally, there is another Fragrance Hotel on the same road so be sure to look for the Classic one.
- 巧蕙 (9/5): -
- elisa (5/5): - Camere piccolissime cosi come il bagno. Lontano dalle diverse attrazioni della città
- Karen Ann (9/5): - Location is very accessible to public transpo, resto, bars and malls. Small toilet.
- glenn (5/5): Should be cheaper - The bed was rock hard, the bathroom was very small
- Siv (10/5): -
- WOOTAEK (6/5): Cheap price, cheap value and conveniences, indeed - bed no facilities. no refrigerator, no stand by place during room cleaning
- Jinky (8/5): Clean, budget-friendly stay with great staff, though finding the place was a bit tricky at first. - Clean and comfortable budget stay. Friendly and helpful staff, convenient location near food and transport. Rooms are small but good value for money. The signage outside isn’t very visible and the reception lighting is quite dim, so we got lost and initially thought the building was closed when we arrived.
- Sandra (7/5): Personnel agréable - La gentillesse du personnel, la propreté et l' emplacement La taille de la chambre était très petite et la salle d' eau miniature . Lorsque l on se douche l' eau reste au sol et quand on veut aller aux toilettes on a les pieds mouillés se qui n' est pas agréable.
- Roy (7/5): -
- Sri (8/5): Very good - Nil
- Rubin (7/5): Good stay. Staff friendly. - Refilling of toothpaste and teabags poor.
- Clarisse (3/5): Not satisfied with room service and misleading room picture. - The kindness of the staff. This is the only thing we were impressed with. The room we were given was not the one on the picture. The room was not cleaned every day, there was a change of towels everydaythough. We could see the soap marks of the very first night... and our bed was made only twice out of the 6 days. We did not like the fact that the shower and toilet were in the same room.
