Exoresidence the Heart of Chinatown

The location is undeniably excellent, with the MRT station just a few steps away. The air conditioning was very powerful—almost too cold at times! However, overall, I found that the negatives slightly outweighed the positives. Firstly, the sound insulation is extremely poor; traffic noise continued late into the night, around midnight to 1 a.m. Secondly, the cleaning service was disappointing. Despite multiple reminders, the cleaning crew never washed the dirty dishes in the sink. Thirdly, the instructions for operating the hot water system were unclear. There’s nothing in English, which meant I didn’t have hot water on my first night. Lastly, the bathroom sink tap is unusually low, making it difficult to use—so much so that we had to use the kitchen sink instead. The design feels quite impractical. I didn’t have a good sleep at this stay in the last few nights.

We had a great stay at Exo Residence in Chinatown. The location is perfect, right in the heart of everything, and the hotel was very clean. They even offered a free 30-minute massage for one person, which was a nice bonus! Our room had four beds and still felt spacious — it was very convenient and not crowded at all. The only downside was the very tiny lift; it was difficult for us and our suitcases to fit together. Overall, it’s a great value for money, and I would definitely recommend it!

Mixed review regarding this hotel. Location: In the centre of China Town and right above a 7/11. Positives - Good location to the metro, about a 2 minute walk and then one tube to most destinations. Good places to eat around and good atmosphere from China Town although it can be very busy. Negatives - Above a 7/11 and so from our room you could hear the sound it makes every time somebody walks in.. it is 24h so this got a bit frustrating Hotel: Very good price. Just needed for 1 night while we waited for our flight home. Positives - Modern looking. Not 100% like the photos on the website but I don’t think hotel rooms ever are due to editing etc. Spacious rooms with a comfy bed. Microwave and fridge. Air con. Nice bathroom. Friendly staff. Negatives - Very noisey air con in our room. Was making a horrible cracking noise so in the end I turned it off then woke up VERY hot due to it being 35 degrees outside. Was absolutely eaten alive by mosquitos despite not having the window open. Very thin walls/doors. Could hear people in the hallway and noise from other rooms. Kept me awake a lot. Family’s in the morning talking in the hallway was really annoying. Not really the hotels fault for other inconsiderate guests but just be aware you will be kept up if you encounter them! Was good for the money paid and in a good location. Don’t think I could have stayed for more than 1 night though.
