The area it self is quite touristy with a lot of Indian related heritage spots to explore near by and since near to mrt, traveling around singapore should be a brezee

The (cash) rate does not look appealing for a Cat 2 property.
Might be worth a couple of redemptions (not point + money) but hard to see this becoming a viable alternative for me. The folks who loaded the points + cash rates really should have check if it was even logical. Paying more than BAR and asking 4,000 points on top of it. Wow.
Room sizes are small too, even for Singapore standards.
Ranges from 19 to 22 sq m.

I just checked, not a single standard room award available for the rest of the year, from 1 Aug to 31 Dec.
And I am Diamond, not even Diamond standard room is available. Only premium room awards from 1 Aug to 31 Dec. Must be something wrong, or they have quickly gotten into the game to change their base room category.

The neighbouring temple might get a bit noisy, especially during festivals like Thaipusam, but the atmosphere is wonderful!
Yesterday I stopped by to look at the building and it looks promising. As you can see the area is very clean and tidy!
- viewed from Serangoon road, with the temple in the foreground
- approaching from Serangoon road with the temple buildings on the right
- main entrance
- it looks like the building is being converted from a multi-storey car park....
- view from Racecourse Road

'Bookings' are indeed open... not the hotel itself. It is supposed to open in August.

You are trying to stay there before it opens.
