Worst staycation I ever had , it a disaster ”
The room is so small , the voice from the walkway and back alley is SO LOUD. the back alley is all the pub area and they sing and party till 5am. So we could only sleep at 5am. The room light and aircon keep off and on I believe it the room card reader failed that why keep off and on the whole night. The bath towel is dirty as well. Could say with this money spend believe we can find a better offer.

Terrible housekeeping and service ”
Cockroach found everywhere at the bathroom, inform to clean up 3 times but being ignore. Tv not working. Maintenance was carrying on and the floor at the walk way never swipe and dry, always wet. Being promise to change the room to another area but end out was just denied due to room was fully occupied. Staff never show interest to solve any problem. Terrible experience.

Great as a homebase in exploring Singapore”
First, note that Google Maps is wrong - the closest MRT is not Jalan Besar stn, but Rochor stn. Second, the hostel room is great, big & very comfy bed - but the door lock is rather flimsy. My daughters used their luggage as the door barricade at night. Third, the balcony room is as advertised, but at night you can hear people chatting outside, turned out next door is a bar, and one time it blasts loud indian music until 1 am. We slept like dead due to extreme tiredness from exploring the city all day, but others might not. You might want to ask for other room instead , for example the sound from outside does not reach the hostel rooms.

No breakfast offered, poor experience overall”
I would avoid this place in the future. No staff available for check-in, breakfast was promised on reservation but was not offered. I booked it for my parents and it was a very disappointing experience

Good”
Usually my stay at TGM is rather pleasant - this time round there were people gathering at the table near the front desk till wee hours of the morning - and we’re rather loud and rowdy. As my room was on the first floor, it was really very noisy. Other than that - the courtyard room is spacious and comfortable to stay in.

Toilet drain was infested with flies!!!!”
Room is very small, and the area is not quiet at all if you’re looking to relax during your stay. Tv was not working as well. Most importantly, the toilet drain was infested with tiny flies. Do not recommend this hotel.

Did not live up to what is marketed.”
Genuinely wished i had better things to say about the place. Perhaps it was due to the pandemic and lower footfall (idk), the place was badly maintained. Maintenance ongoing and disruptive to stay, since place is small, you hear everything. Room is unclean, marks on the wall, and it is peeling. Rust on metal fixtures especially in toilet area. Had cause to worry the day before book-in because I writing in to their guest relations email and it bounced. Contact numbers were unavailable, found out that their website's reservation system is down, and their online social media seemed inactive. Turns out still operating. Front-door staff was friendly, that I can say. And it is definitely a well-designed establishment. But looks can only get you so far. Genuinely hope this is a period of adjustment for Great Madras. You've got a beautiful brand, but please clean up the rooms.

Broken shower knob. Left with only one choice which was the rain shower. Tiles in the toilet is also dirty. Check in was late for 30 mins. Staff told us to just wait whilst they got the room ready. Nothing was offered, we were just told to wait.

Room was apparently not made before check-in. Found a used towel beside the wash basin upon entering the room, and a few stains on the bedsheet. Didn’t bother reporting to the staff since I’m just staying for a night. I know stay-in rate isn’t high during the pandemic, but it shouldn’t be the way guests are treated. Sorry, I’ll never return again.
