The bed is full of dust mites.It's hard to understand because Agoda lists Hotels and Hostels in the same row.Expensive for a hostel. However, it may be better than other hostels.After all, the bed was full of dust mites.It's fine if you're on a backpacking trip, but otherwise you should avoid it.I booked for 4 nights but checked out after 1 night.It is unclear whether the deposit that was suddenly asked to be kept at check-in will be returned.The employees seem to be nice people, but they are no match for Dani.
I stayed at several accommodations in Singapore, but this place was the worst. I stayed in a one bed room for $94. The shower room is dirty, and there are no slippers for walking in the aisle. I paid the $100 deposit separately from the accommodation fee. It was a promise to be automatically returned in 2 weeks, but the promise was not fulfilled. The customer center asked for a local bank account or a Paypal account for refund. The fee was about 20% and the deposit was not fully returned. Surprisingly, the customer center said that it charged a deposit by mistake. The deposit was paid separately from the accommodation fee by credit card.I learned to decide where to stay by reading customer reviews: )Irresponsible.It is better not to stay here. It's darker and less sanitary than the photo. Also, I couldn't get my deposit back unless I contacted them. The money I received back was not by credit card, but via PayPal, so I had to register and there was a 25% processing fee. The support center said that the charge was made by mistake, but as you can see in the photo, it is written in the manual.
Room is dirty, can see dust everywhere, bad smell, the bathroom is like a toilet add a shower head! At first the towel has stained, i have requested another clean towel, but still has stained! Bad experienced that i never had before!
Avoid at all costs. Scam - it's not a hotel but a mock of a hostel/inn and at least the standard room looks nothing like the marketing photos. Mould on tiles, rust, live insects on walls, really dirty and worn down. Strong chlorine/chemical smell possibly to try to cover the smell of mould. Had to leave immediately due to health issues. Staff indifferent, this seemed like a business as usual to them, "nothing can be done", no refund. Room 203.
Avoid at all cost. I should have read the reviews before booking. It also looks nothing like the pictures so don't be fooled!Like other reviews the room we got checked into was disgusting. The bed sheets looked like they had just been remade from the last guests and where covered in hairs. I complained to the reception and they moved us room. The next room was also disgusting not clean.This seems like a common practise here.The bed had a single duvet put on the bed sideways so when my partner and I went to sleep we found that the duvet was only enough for one of us. The reception was closed at this pointAt night there is a “dancing” club next door which basically sounds sounds like its in your room at night. There is absolutely no sound proofing in the rooms so you can hear everything and I mean everything this is not an understatement.Lastly the lights at night from the hallway and the outside of the room window stayed on all night usually in hotels these will go off not this one so all night your room will be lit up while the dancing club is booming.The only reason I'm writing this review is because these people should not be taking money from anyone its disgusting that they cant even clean the room correctly for new guests. Pay a little extra and go somewhere else!
I booked my one night Deluxe Room via Agoda , and the location of the hotel was very ideal and convenient, easily go to the other parts of bugis without much hassle . Room turns out to be the same as the picture showed in agoda and my husband is very very fond of the balcony that came along as he's someone who loves to enjoy his time at the balconies. Overall a good stay and we had a super splendid time ! Would recommend couples/families to come for a stay .
I recently had the unfortunate experience of staying at The Great Madras in Singapore for three nights and I must say it was an absolute nightmare. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted by the rudest customer service and encountered a shameless reception front desk. Their unapologetic and horrible attitude left a lasting impression on my stay.To make matters worse, the hotel gave me a completely different room than what I had paid for. It was clear that they did not prioritize customer satisfaction or even basic HONESTY. The room itself was nothing short of horrible – it was dirty, poorly maintained and lacked basic amenities. It was a far cry from the advertised standards.Naturally, I immediately complained and even followed up with an email expressing my dissatisfaction. However, to my dismay, I did not receive a refund or any form of compensation for the terrible experience. The lack of responsiveness and accountability from the hotel management only added to my frustration.Overall, my stay at The Great Madras was a complete DISASTER. The hotel's disregard for customer satisfaction and their shameless reception front desk left me feeling cheated and disrespected.I would strongly advise anyone considering staying at this hotel to think twice, GO AND EXPLORE OTHER OPTIONS. The Great Madras has proven to be a horrible choice, both in terms of the quality of their rooms and the management's handling of customer complaints.
DO NOT BOOK HERE. I stayed in the Potts room on the main floor and the shared washrooms were incredibly dirty and never cleaned. It's a wet washroom and every surface gets wet. Disgusting. Toilet seats falling off as well. The room was very small and didn't have anywhere to put my luggage, so I had to put it on the floor. The pictures deceived me in getting my own room and washroom. The security was suspect. My door was this flimsy sliding door, the safe didn't work at all. The door to enter the shared rooms didn't close properly. Do not book!
