It's all about priorities. I came to Singapore for 1 full day meeting, arriving at night before from the Airport and leaving on day 2 by an early morning flight.

Then, I decided to book this hotel because it is at 8 mins from the airport, and provide a shuttle service.

The ambiance is always more or less the same in the Grand Mercure(s) and this one remind me so much one of them in Bangkok! 

Big rooms, looks like they are 30 years old and nothing has been changed since day 1.

It is clean, old but well maintained. I was obliged to call the reception for them to change the 30 years old batteries from the 30 years old remote.

It is in the middle of nowhere, but I did not care; my priority was NEAR THE AIRPORT.

At the date I'm writing this review, the room is around S$ 190, which is actually quite expensive taking into account that there is nothing around, but I believe is it what you have to pay for airport proximity.
    • Area: Location: East Coast / Katong

Big PLUS

As you can see on the picture, this hotel has a very decent swimming pool, which is not often the case for a 4 star hotel!

Would I recommend this hotel? 

If you want to be near the airport ONLY.
