“Hmlet Cantonment: a 21st Century Youth Hostel”

A co-living residence is the youth hostel of the 21st Century. I had the smallest room, but still comfortable, with a reasonably sized bathroom (larger than it looks in the photos). There was a shared kitchen upstairs, & a laundry room down. Reception is a large room with another kitchen and bench with computer screens and office chairs. You can plug in your laptop, work, and look out at the garden. Outside my room were trees and I could see what looked like a temple across the road: a pleasant outlook. Bring your keep cup & water bottle with you. There is cold and hot water, plus ice in the kitchen. Much of the time the common areas are silence, but there are occasional chats. Overall much more pleasant than a hotel, especially an upmarket hotel. And Hmlet Cantonment is not just for young people: I was not the oldest guest.

“Needs upgrades”

I stayed at this hotel for 2 weeks and had also stayed for 2 weeks four years ago. Not much has changed, though it’s my understanding that there is a new owner. PROS: 1. Love the location! Just a few blocks from the MRT station, close to food, mall, etc. 2. It’s quiet, which we loved! The hotel room was a nice haven after a day of exploring. 3. We liked the 24-hour free coffee. 4. The shower & bathroom was nice, looked clean and worked well. 5. The TV size was good. CONS: 1. The beds are horrendous! They are so hard. We stayed in a room with two twin beds. Literally, the mattress couldn’t have been more than 3-4 inches in height. It looked like a mattress you’d expect in a summer camp for children. Very painful beds! 2. The TV went out 3 times! We had to go to the front desk, where they got someone to reboot it. Ridiculous! And they have it rigged so that the customer can’t reboot it. 3. Our air conditioner started pouring water out of it all over the floor. Again, we went down and someone came to fix it. It’s great that they have a maintenance person, but it’s upsetting all the things that need fixed in just a two-week period. 4. The outside window and drapes had mold all over it! That was disgusting. Since their air conditioners routinely leak (the maintenance guy said the air conditioner should work for another month or two before needing fixed) and that it’s a humid location, the walls must be filled with mold. I was congested every night. But I do understand that when you’re running an air conditioner 24 hours a day, every day, it’s going to need more maintenance. 5. We have technology jobs and when we vacation, we don’t use our phones or anything, as it’s a vacation from being plugged in. And since this hotel doesn’t have a landline, then you have to physically go to the front desk in another building. We would stay here again, though it wouldn’t be our first choice. If they upgraded the mattresses and fixed a few things, this place would be amazing!

“Comfortable Stay, Great Location and Excellent Facilities”

Had a lovely 8-night stay at Hmlet Cantonment with my teenage daughter. Despite being on busy Cantonment Road, the area is surprisingly quiet. I even enjoyed waking up to the sound of a crowing rooster, something I rarely hear in Jakarta! The location is convenient, about an 8-minute walk to Cantonment MRT station (Circle Line), with bus stops, restaurants, NTUC and convenience stores nearby. The room was comfortable and spacious enough for two, with plenty of room to open two large suitcases. I appreciated the USB power socket beside the bed, free travel adaptors to borrow, smart TV, safe and high-speed Wi-Fi. The bathroom was roomy, with a handheld bidet spray and sufficient toiletries. The hair dryer socket was a little too far from the mirror, making hairstyling difficult. I'd also recommend bringing your own slippers. My favourite feature was the fully equipped communal kitchen, with cookware, utensils, a toaster, fridge, free drinking water, ice and a good selection of free coffee and tea. The staff were helpful and responsive. When the bathroom light switch got stuck, they fixed it right away. I also arrived at 10:30 pm and found someone at the front desk, which was reassuring for a late check-in. Overall, a comfortable, well-equipped place in a convenient location. I'd happily stay here again!

“Extremely Unprofessional”

My experience with Hamlet Chinatown was extremely disappointing. My sisterin law was left stranded in the middle of the night, with no one answering her calls and no emergency contact available. This is completely unacceptable for a hotel. Guests should be able to reach someone when they need help, especially at night. Leaving someone without support shows a serious lack of care and responsibility. This incident has seriously undermined my confidence in this "respectable establishment", and i sincerely hope no other guest is placed in a similarly distressing situation.
