Tai Hoe Hotel in Singapore

I stayed at Tai Hoe Hotel. The location is perfect — it’s just opposite City Square Mall and right at the exit of Farrer Park MRT. Super convenient and reasonably priced.

However, the hotel is right by the roadside, and you can clearly hear the busy traffic outside. Not friendly for light sleepers at all — you definitely need earplugs. The room doesn’t come with slippers or toothbrush, and the hotel is very, very old. The corridor has a strong bleach smell, while inside the room there’s a very strong vinegar smell.

For a one-night stay, it’s still acceptable due to the location. But I wouldn’t really recommend staying more than one night. Oh, and in the morning you can hear doors opening and closing throughout the whole floor — so clear until you might think your own door was opened.
