The room was very small (as expected), but the hotel is new, and everything in the room was in working order. The hotel GM came out of the back office to personally welcome me, which was a nice touch. Because my stay was so short, I did not get the chance to explore the hotel amenities; I didn't even have time for breakfast. I did get the chance to sample the food courts and malls within walking distance, of which there are several.

Ultimately I just wanted a simple and cheap(-ish) place to stay that was in a lively location for exploring, and the HIX Singapore Serangoon met my expectations.
