location was good, but several issues
free washing machinewindowless roomunclean bathroom
the location was quite central. there was a washing machine i could use for free.
The room i booked had no window. It felt quite claustrophobic. also, the shared bathroom was not clean, it was wet all the time. this made using the facilities rather unpleasant.

The staff was friendly. free coffee and tea were available. i used the washing machine with free detergent. It was very helpful.
the room had warm white lighting with low wattage. it was difficult to do work with such dim lighting. there was no electrical plug beside the bed for charging my phone while sleeping. the flimsy desk was small and hard to use.

Fantastic Stay in Central Location!!!
central locationrooftop terracefull-size fridgefree coffee
The location was perfect. I walked to many attractions including Little India and Chinatown. I used the washing machine and drying racks on the rooftop terrace. There was a full-size fridge, microwave. free coffee and tea available.
The lighting in my room could have been brighter. It was a little dim for doing detailed tasks.

a satisfactory experience

the location was quite convenient. i easily accessed nearby dining and drinks. complimentary laundry facilities were available which i found to be a benefit.
the room had warm white lighting. it had very low wattage so it was difficult to see well. the wall mounted desk was also quite small so it was almost impossible to use comfortably.
