STORIES Joo Chiat, a Hotel by Cove - Paya Lebar, Singapore - NEWLY RENOVATED

I had a pleasant stay at this guesthouse. The room was clean and well-maintained, with all the basic amenities I needed. The air conditioning worked great, and the bed was comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful, making check-in smooth and hassle-free. The location is excellent—within walking distance to local attractions, food stalls, and public transportation. The only downside was that the soundproofing could be better, as I could occasionally hear noise from the hallway. Overall, it's a great value for the price, and I would recommend it for short stays or budget-friendly travel.

Good place for few days, Location was nice too, near fairprice store, something about the ac was weird where it kept turning on and off and it got too hot at middle of night, the ac is automatic and there was no control over it, I didn’t like that but besides that it was okay.

I stayed here mainly for the location—it's close to Paya Lebar MRT and right in the heart of Joo Chiat, which is great. The website says the hotel is newly renovated, but it seems that's just the lobby. My room wasn’t very clean—there was hair on the bed, a handprint on the mirror, and even a mole in the bathroom. When I asked for cleaning, the receptionist said housekeeping only comes every two days, and I was only staying for two nights. I also asked for a late check-out, but the front desk was cold and just said no. Overall, great location, but don’t expect much in terms of service.
