Philip Hotel@Balestier

Back to this re named hotel, room is small but clean. Everything ok except the flushing system of the cistern. Good e service.

The main problems are a lot of cockroachs and the room is smaller than expected. It is even hard to walk through. The room is not the same as they showed on the trip app. Manager and other guys are quite good.

Small room but have enough to stay comfortably. I will come again if price is on promotion.

Public access area is very stinky likely due to rooms being rented out to Indian foreign worker as dormitory and the lobby area is also scented with Indian refreshener. Bath/shower cubical is small and the heater isn't working despite turning on for days. The shower-gel and shampoo holder are empty and when asked, was told they do not provide that anymore, instead given 2 little bottles of shower gel and a shampoo/conditioner plus 2 discs of scented soap; so pathetic despite paying the price. Even the drinking water is unwillingly provided when i asked for it and was pathetically provided ONE bottle instead of 2 and was told it's a single room. Condition of the air-conditioner is bad and is almost choked with thick dust even at the outlet vent flapper. Bedsheet is in terrible condition with stains of blood either unwashed from previous occupant, else not being washed thoroughly and even the room maid couldn't be bothered. The room safe is also not in working condition and also the lighting. All in all - the hotel can't seem to bother so much on providing value for money or great experience, there're just too many areas for improvement they should look into if only they're concern about repeating customers.

Location: The hotel is conveniently situated near a mall, making it easy for guests to access shopping, entertainment, and other amenities. Additionally, its proximity to popular food spots like Whampoa Food Plaza (Singapore) is a big plus, offering a variety of dining options just a short walk away. Room & Space: While the rooms are not particularly spacious, they are functional and adequate for short stays. The hotel provides all the essential amenities as listed in their profile, which is appreciated. Cleanliness: One area that could be improved is cleanliness. During my stay, I noticed a few cockroaches in the room, which was quite unpleasant. A more thorough pest control routine and regular deep cleaning would greatly enhance the guest experience. Overall: The hotel has good potential given its strategic location and complete amenities. With better attention to cleanliness and hygiene, it could offer a much more comfortable stay for guests.

Good, suitable for the price
