Location: right in the center of the colourful & vibrant scene of Joo Chiat Road in Katong District - a residential conservation area with a wonderful fusion of modern day houses & UNESCO heritage charming nyonya architecture.
Room: it’s clean and orderly as advertised. It does serve you the essential needs of brushing your teeth, shower & toilet. Bed was decently comfy but just that the bed was a bit shorter than my height despite claiming as queen sized. No roaches, good water pressure for shower, clean drinking water from tap.
Lobby: there are 2 macintosh computers for browsing. There are 2 books in the trendy looking quiet lobby (1 was a good read for me). Staff are attentive and helpful.
The jewel is the hotel’s JooChiat st location. I’d stay here again if visiting Singapore. I loved the coffee and bread at Olsen bakery next door too the barista was uniquely polite and friendly, all stars.

Truly enjoyed my stay in this hotel. Receptionist Joseph was very welcoming and accommodating. The room was clean and comfortable, providing all basic amenities. Location was great, sitting in the middle of Joo Chiat Road, with all the good cafes a few mins walk away.

I booked this hotel for my last three days and loved it much. There's a department store next to the hotel and many restaurants and cafe along the street. The airport is only 19mins from the hotel.

A centrally located hotel with plenty of good food & entertainment outlets around this Geylang, Joo Chiat & Katong heritage heartland. Lots to see & explore.
Venue Hotel staff Joseph Ng (at the reception) was most helpful when we asked for more bottled water and extra pillows. The room may be small, but the air-con remained strong throughout our two nite's stay. Will definitely recommend my family & friends to stay here.
Fotos from various food outlets around hotel - King's Cart; Nimbus; Humble Beginnings; Tim Horton's (i12Katong); & VietBarn (opp hotel).

Pros:
Katong is a beautiful location with so many options to eat & chill!
There are gyms, yoga studios, pilates classes that offer free trial classes
Affordable price
Friendly staff
Cons:
Shower door had a poor sealing. Whenever I took a shower water spillt all over that tiny bathroom
Toilet had a bad sewage smell
It’s quite old
Not much amenities
I guess you get what you pay for.

- Suitable for solo travelers staying 1–2 nights. Not ideal for large suitcases 30-inch due to limited space.
- The room is clean with no musty smell. Air conditioning works well.
- The bathroom is clean, with strong water pressure from the shower. However, there is no separation between wet and dry areas.
- The walls are quite thin I can clearly hear noise from neighboring rooms. Earplugs are recommended for sleeping.
- The door has only a single lock and no additional latch, which may cause some concern about security.
- The front desk staff are polite and helpful.
- The lobby has insufficient seating. Replacing the two large chairs with smaller ones along the wall, or a long sofa, would better accommodate guests.
- The MRT station is about a 12–15 minute walk from the hotel.

Even the room is quite small, but understandable for price and location. Amenities are equipped. It is very charming neighborhood. Good for someone who wants to get away from a city vibe.

The hotel was in a mediocre location - not close to any MRT but a short walk to the nearest bus stop with limited choices. The room was very compact and suitable for only solo traveling. The water heater had issues and did not deliver any hot water. Hygiene in the room was acceptable but can be improved. Overall it is appropriate for a short stay but may not be a good base to enjoy the whole of Singapore.
