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.

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.

Negative:
- 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



 REVIEWS

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.

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.
