Title: 4-star? No phone, no housekeeping, not even a toaster. Trip.com's ratings need a serious review.
Pros: Decent location
Here's my honest experience:
1. **Ridiculously small room:** It's advertised as a 4-star, but the room was so small I couldn't even open my suitcase, and two people could barely turn around. It's severely inconsistent with the promotional pictures.
2. **Requested a quiet room on Trip.com, yet placed next to a public sink with the only phone there:** I clearly stated my request for a quiet room in my Trip.com order and reiterated it during check-in. Yet, the hotel gave me a room directly facing a public sink, with constant foot traffic and water noise. What's worse, there was no phone in the room. The *only* phone to contact the front desk was installed right on that noisy public sink. This means if I wanted to ask something, I had to walk to the loudest spot by the door, listening to water and people while making a call. My requests were completely ignored, and they turned contacting the front desk into torture.
3. **Insufficient and unreasonable amenities:** The room only provided two large and two small towels for two people. When I asked for two more, the front desk verbally agreed but never followed through. No daily housekeeping or towel changes during the stay. Is this what a 4-star standard looks like?
4. **Unsleepable pillows:** The pillows were as thick as bricks, leaving my neck completely suspended when I lay down. It was uncomfortable all night and severely affected my rest.
5. **Arrogant and rude front desk staff:** I've lived abroad for years and am perfectly fluent in English, so there was no language barrier. However, the front desk staff had a sullen expression throughout and, when asked about cleanliness, simply retorted, "We don't clean daily." This is purely a lack of professionalism, not a language issue.
6. **Extremely shoddy facilities:** The water pressure at the sink was comparable to an airplane lavatory, and there was no wet/dry separation. The breakfast area didn't even have a basic toaster, and the food options were incredibly sparse.
**Regarding Trip.com's rating:** Where does this hotel get its 4-star rating from? The room size, service standards, and infrastructure all fall short. If star ratings are based solely on sales rather than facilities and service, it's a serious misleading of consumers. I have officially filed a complaint with the platform regarding this issue and hope Trip.com will thoroughly review this hotel's rating qualification.
**Conclusion: Strongly advise avoiding this hotel.** There are many truly deserving 4-star hotels in Singapore at this price point.
