location was good, but several issues
windowless room unclean 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.

friendly staff free coffee free detergent dim lighting small desk no electrical plug
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 location rooftop terrace full-size fridge free 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.
