Fend for yourself
Travellers bemoan the fact that the hotel does not have an on-site restaurant which means you are on your own when it comes to finding food. There are a number of eateries close to the property, however.
negative:
Neighbourhood a little questionable
Geylang is in Singapore's notorious red-light district and while there is a lot of historical and cultural sites in the area, things can get a little sketchy after dark. A few guests state that while the area is safe, it might not be a good idea to take your family out after dark.
negative:
Straightforward staff
The employees at the hotel are not particularly friendly according to a number of guests who claim the staff is not all that helpful either. While they are not mean or unable to perform their duties, travellers believe there is room to provide better service.
