underwhelming stay, location decent

dirty walls peeling paint
the location was acceptable since it was close to many restaurants.
the hotel felt dated , and the walls were not clean. the bathroom paint was peeling , and there was rust around the sink. i probably won't be staying here again.

convenient location helpful staff noisy aircon difficult shower
I found the hotel's location very convenient. It's a five-minute walk to the mrt station. there are numerous restaurants around, and two 7-eleven convenience stores are very close. the staff gave helpful directions and even provided umbrellas when it rained!!!
The aircon was very noisy. This made sleeping a little difficult. there isn't a separate space for the shower, so you stand in the bathtub. This could be tricky for some guests.

mediocre stay, some issues noticed

hard bed broken toilet handle
the location was good for accessing tourist areas, including an easy walk to the metro.
The pictures created false hope for me. this hotel sits amidst tall buildings, blocking any views. the bed was hard. the internet did not work, and the toilet handle was broken. I think they fixed the handle, but it remained loose, and there was no fix for the internet.
