Yomi Hotel

Poor quality room. Shelf was about to break. Closet door hanging off. Just everything felt like it was cheap when new, and it's far from new anymore. AC uncontrollable. Unhelpful staff. Asked to check in early, but was told I would need to pay half of the actual room rate for a night to check in 3 hours early. No chance. The only redeeming factor is the location.

I was surprised when I was assigned a room with cartoon wallpaper (I thought walls are plain like the photos when choosing the room), but I was tired enough to request a new room so I let it be. The sheets are itchy during my first night but somehow lessened whenever I request for linen change. Signs of wear and tear are visible in the room and stains on the carpet and couch looked like they’re stubborn stains already. The side of the tub is also rusty. Putting these things aside, my stay was okay and the location is a few steps away from convenience stores, milk tea, bakery, etc., few blocks away from Ningxia Night Market (they have great selection and cheaper than other too touristy night markets), ＜10 minutes away from MRT stations. The area is also safe for solo travelers even during midnight. It’s also a quiet neighborhood (though unfortunately, my room is in-between too loud guests on both sides from 10pm-1/2-ish every night).

Location is good, nearby mrt stop and walking distance to Ningxia Night Market. Amenities provided are pretty wholesome, toilet bowl have bidet installed too which is a plus point! A lot of charging points available in the room as well. One down side is that the bed is too hard and room isn’t very soundproof so can be quite disturbing if neighbours are talking too loudly.
