ibis Styles Singapore On Macpherson

Room temperature can not be set below 24 degree celsius and actual temperate was around 25 and above. Room is stuffy. Staff advised that hotel is eco-friendly so temperature has been pre-set. Yet, a green card is inserted into the power-saving on/off socket to ensure that the aircon in the room is turned on 24 hours so electricity/lightings + aircon will continue to be consumed even when the room is vacant! Because the aircon is on 24 hours, air filter in the room is often choked and aggravate the stuffy room problem. Staff advised that although temp is pre-set but room temperature can be cooler depending on the orientation and size of room window ! Because of its location convenience for the purpose of my visit to Singapore, I stayed at this hotel a few times. For 2 consecutive trips/stays now the air-filters were choked, wasted my time waiting for maintenance staff to come, check, wash air-filter but improvement was insignificant and room still stuffy. Other minor issues - often discovered issues in the room when e.g. fridge not working, curtain off guiding track, phone set fell off the wall etc These are tolerable but not stuffy room, compromising the comfort of staying there. 2nd chance has been given, will not return unless the room temperate can be adjusted to a decent level.

The hotel location is ok but not great. It took around 15-20 minutes to walk from MRT. But there are buses to connect to MRT. The soundproofing is not up to standard so that you can hear children crying next room. You may want to bring your own earplugs, just in case. The room is a bit small but clean enough to stay. All in all, not bad at all.

the wall is too thin.......and no tooth brush.......

We arrived late in SG. Needed a place immediately to crash. Checked hotels.com. Booked a place at Ibis Macpherson based on "need a room now deals". But when we got there, there was nothing in the system. And the duty manager seemed flustered. Still, it was not a disaster because he did allow us to stay but couldn't work the credit card devices, so insisted on a cash deposit despite hotels.com guaranteeing everything was kosher. (soemthing to look into hotels.com? How long does it take to update the hotel's systems?) then he seemed reluctant to give a receipt or note indicating he had taken cash from us. Good thing a trainee named Jorris found a receipt/invoice book that they could use. However, we were allowed to stay. For which I am thankful. It was a good room. Comfortable. Clean. And upon check-out my deposit was returned and all is good.

bedroom slippers should be provided.
