I would've tried a different hotel but I needed the public transport access that this area has and it's a stone's throw from a MRT station exit. Don't want to rehash too much, so here's the previous stay review.
Getting there: Exit B, Bencoolen station. No one will be mad/judgy if you decided to take the lift because it's at 4 escalators up and down. The staff would encourage you to use the lift so that you and your luggage don't damage the escalator.
Checking in: Got there around 1 something, and they let me check in earlier. Only had to give them my passport and not have to show the Expedia reservation (didn't want to have to pull out the phone to show them).
Room: Another 3rd floor room, not far from the lifts. It also wasn't a street facing room (more of the next building), but the room layout is the same as the V Hotel equivalent, which brought on major déjà vu. Even the bathroom was a similar configuration; the same brand, white tea scented amenities didn't help LOL. I did ask myself if I wasn't in V Hotel or something. It was already kinda tight for one person to move around in, let alone two.
To be fair, I wasn't in the room long enough to be mad about the size: was only in there long enough to shower, eat a quick dinner (and supper from the leftovers) and sleep. Noise level was not too bad (like I'm sure people next door can hear me use the bathroom, the TV...), mostly happened during the day.
Sleep: Okay, but only because I took a sleep aid AND 1st gen antihistamine. But still woke up around 4 or 5 a.m. and could not go back to sleep until way later.
By the time I actually woke up (which would be around my usual wake up time for work), I didn't give myself a lot of time to shower, get dressed, pack and down one of the 3-in-1 hot drinks (no solid food) before checking out pretty early (around 9 something) so I could go catch the first screening of Thor: Love and Thunder in Jewel.
