[Singapore. Accommodation] Fragrance Hotel - Imperial

This is it, this is the place we stayed in Singapore for 3 nights.
This is under one of the chained budget hotel, the FRAGRANCE HOTEL.
Fragrance Hotel-Imperial located in the LAVENDER area,
3-5 mins walk from the Lavender MRT station.
The location is excellent, around 30 mins from the Airport and 5-20 mins to everywhere we went.
A convenient store is right outside of the hotel entrance, a supermarket is in 3 mins walk, and a cheap but nice food court is outside of the Lavender MRT station, which is a great place for breakfast.
And the picture below is how it looks like in the outside.

The outside of the hotel actually looks a bit different from the image on Air Asia Go as we believed that the surface of the building was repainted just before our visit. Indeed, we only realised that the hotel was under renovation at our time of visit when we asked about the swimming pool. 

ACTUALLY, we picked this particular hotel mainly because of its SWIMMING POOL, or else, we could have picked another cheaper hotel, YET, because of the unnoticed renovation, the SWIMMING POOL was closed on our entire period of stay. Even though the staffs there kept insisting the pool would be reopened ON THE NEXT DAY, but apparently they were just covering up the fact that the pool would not be reopened in any time. That actually PISSED me off. 

Another thing that I was not satisfied about this place was that their WIFI sucks. I was not certain is it a SAMSUNG thing or their POOR WIFI, both of our mobile could not connect to the WIFI at all and they said this was OUR OWN PROBLEM. TOTALLY NOT HELPFUL AT ALL. Besides, the ROOM was SMALL, we kind of expected rooms in Singapore should be small, but the room here was SO SMALL.

                                        

Even though the room was small, it was in pick and it was sort of cozy and romantic. But the view was not nice at all. Sadly, the only thing that was really nice about the hotel is that they got free luggage storage service and the great location. For your reference, we paid around $1980 HKD for three nights of a Superior Room with a queen size bed from 8/31 to 9/3, which is around $330 HKD for one person per night. 

Overall, I would say if you are going to pick this hotel, you better consult them about the renovation process and think twice before you pay for it. I would not recommend this particular hotel indeed.
