Location is very
confusing for the taxi drivers as there is another Venue Hotel 5 min away and
the lift was not working the day we arrived. Not near any MRT stations.

helpful staff and is clean and comfortable.

Negative:
The lighting is
insufficient for getting make up on using the mirror. I took two different
rooms and the first one had shower space open which made the toilet floor stay
wet.
Positive:
Location is close to
many shops for trying local cuisine. 112 Katong Mall is only 15 min away and
the Parkway Parade mall is only 20 min walking distance which are all v good
for food and shopping.

Heads up: this hotel
is situated in the red light district.
Positive:
Friendly and helpful
staff, especially housekeeping! Very clean rooms. Different kinds of plugs in
the room, didn't need adapter. Close to bus stop, easy to take bus or MRT to
all parts of the city.

- Wifi was free but I
was a bit nervous signing in where it said it cost. True to word the hotel didn't charge me.
- I really liked the
location as lots of good cheap food and very nice local feel to it, and only
about ten mins walk from train station which was dead easy to get everywhere
from, however I think it may be an adult entertainment area - saying this it
was pretty discreet if it was as still not certain.
Positive:
Awesome staff - when I
was looking shattered with my backpack they gave me an extra bottle of water -
much needed. The hotel was just like in the
pics and the shower was good :) we got a small discount as last minute but
would happily paid full price.
Toothbrush and toothpaste provided.
Very clean and friendly cleaning staff.

Venue Hotel
Average Rating: 7.3
Number of rooms: 81
Negative:
I had to stay longer
in the morning as I needed to catch my flight in the evening, but, sleeping was
a bit difficult with sounds going through the door. But, the walls are good
sound insulator.
Positive:
Lots of hawkers nearby
and lots of different kinds of food to choose from. The buildings around the
hotels are really colorful and unique. There's also a shopping mall called 112
nearby. The staff of the hotel are really friendly and helpful. They called me
to remind me of the checkout time.

Front office staff
were very hospitable especially the 2-night shift staff, Fazrul and Nicky. They
were very helpful with the Wifi Connection, Booking of Taxi and even lending an
umbrella when I needed to walk in the rain.

The only downside is

helpful and friendly. The rooms comfortable and the location is very close to
airport and convenience shops and eateries.

Fragrance Hotel – Ruby
Average Rating: 7.2
Number of rooms: 168
REVIEWS
Negative:
The bathroom could have been a little
cleaner (Hairs on the floor that definitely weren't mine). I think my room was
probably a bit small for more than one person (or two people happy to be
underfoot)/for longer stays.
Positive:
Room was mostly clean and tidy, and had all
of the things needed for a short stay (water, tea/coffee supplies, comfy bed,
TV, a private bathroom). The bed was comfortable, and whilst the room was
small, there was enough room for luggage and to move about. Plenty of really
cheap places to eat within a couple minutes of walking - the whole area was
vibrant, and very interesting (and safe) to walk around day and night. Despite
how busy it was, I couldn't really hear too much noise in my room. I would say
that for the price, this is great for a budget stay, or if you just need a
place for the night (as I did).

Negative:
You should be aware that the room isn't
much bigger than the bed is. So with two pieces of luggage in there it's nearly
no space left.
One day a group of people on the same floor
ate durian fruits in their rooms. The smell all around was so disgusting that
we hardly could sleep. Of course that's not the fault of the hotel...
Positive:
The location is "in between" the
airport and the city center, connected by the green east-west MRT line. Just
buy a tourist pass at the airport and you will have no problems with
transportation.
We liked the small water heater with tea
and instant coffee in our room. Everything was very clean and looked quite new.
For Singapore the hotel has quite a good
price-value-ratio.
