Pros

Eight diverse dining options within 300-1640.4 ft

Walking distance to major cultural attractions including museums and temples

Staff fluent in three languages

24-hour shopping at nearby Mustafa Centre

Cons

Small lobby located on second floor

Marina Bay Sands and Gardens by the Bay require transportation (1.5 miles)

“Its proximity to Jalan Besar MRT and Little India is a definite advantage. Be aware, though, that the rooms, especially the bathrooms, are compact. In my opinion, this is a practical choice if location trumps spaciousness.”
