On my recent trip to Singapore we decided to stay in the city center. We stayed here for a week and the location was very convenient. We had a really early flight so I was happy when we were allowed to check in early. It's close to Somerset and other shopping areas. The room is very small so it's good for one person or a couple. The bathroom/kitchen did have a funky smell. Jeff, the guy we met gave us a quick tour of the area and was helpful when we have questions. For the price, it's a good deal for a trip.
