I recently stayed at The Inn At Temple Street and found it a mixed experience. The location is fantastic, right in the heart of Chinatown, making it easy to explore. However, the room had a musty smell and felt outdated, which really affected my comfort. The service was friendly, but the lack of a lift made navigating the stairs with luggage a hassle.

My room was quite small and had a strong musty odor. The decor felt tired and in need of refurbishment. Although it had air conditioning, it was older style and noisy, making it hard to sleep comfortably. The bathroom drainage didn’t work well either.

Service

The staff, including housekeeping, were friendly and polite, but I noticed a lack of enthusiasm among the front office team. They did their job but didn’t go above and beyond, which could use some improvement.

I found The Inn At Temple Street to be quite a mixed experience. The location is fantastic, right in the heart of Chinatown, and very convenient for accessing the MRT and local attractions. However, the lack of elevator and porter service made it difficult, especially after a long journey, and the rooms were very small with poor ventilation. Overall, I appreciated the central location but felt the hotel needed significant improvement to be more comfortable.

The room was quite small and had a noticeable odor that reminded me of old wood. It felt more like a basic accommodations than a boutique hotel. Although the sheets were changed daily, I still felt uneasy about the overall cleanliness.

The front desk staff were helpful and welcoming, and I appreciated their effort in switching my room when I complained about the shower. They even offered a refund for one night, which was a nice touch, but the overall experience felt a bit lackluster.

I recently stayed at The Inn At Temple Street and found the location in Chinatown to be fantastic, with plenty of eateries and close proximity to the MRT. However, the hotel itself was quite worn, and my room was smaller than expected, with some housekeeping issues. While the staff were friendly and accommodating, the lack of a lift was a significant drawback, especially with luggage.

The room was quite small and lacked adequate space for my luggage. I wished for a table to place my coffee, but there simply wasn’t enough room. Additionally, the bedding was old, with some sheets showing holes, which was disappointing.

The hotel lacks a lift, which means you need to carry your luggage up the stairs. I noticed some furniture was grubby and the overall facilities could use an upgrade to enhance comfort.

The hotel's location in Chinatown is excellent, with easy access to the MRT and local dining options. However, being in such a busy area means it can get quite noisy, particularly with a room facing the street.
