홈렛 에센셜스 노베나 (Hmlet Essentials Novena)

숙소 성급은 참고용이며 숙소 정보(서비스 수준, 부대 시설 등)에 대한 클룩의 전반적인 평가를 기준으로 합니다.

Strategic positioning of this accommodation was very helpful for all the work I got done.

The facility is very clean; the staff is friendly & communicate valuable instructions in a timely fashion. check-in and out is extremely efficient. Also, the place is located next door to the Zhongshan mall which has a lot of affordable restaurants. I’d recommend this place in a heartbeat.

Overall, our stay was good. We booked a room without a window, which was completely fine since we weren’t planning to spend much time in the room anyway. The room was definitely smaller than I expected based on the photos, but I’ve stayed in other big cities like Tokyo and New York, so it wasn’t a huge surprise. The biggest downside was the air conditioning. It worked, but it was much louder than a normal AC unit and made an unusual noise throughout the night. Our sheets also had a couple of small stains when we arrived, which wasn’t ideal. If you’re staying on the top floor, just be aware there are stairs and no elevator, so if you have heavy luggage, I’d recommend requesting a room on a lower floor. Other than those things, the hotel had all the amenities that were advertised, and the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Overall, I think it’s a fair value for the price—you get what you pay for, and despite a few minor issues, we had a decent stay.

This was my third stay at Novena and have had several stays at Cantonment and one at Owen House. I really like the brand and the value proposition. When I arrived the air conditioning was making a noise. I can live with a humming, but this was a squeaking. Maintenance came and said it was the motor. I spoke with reception (Azim) and he agreed to move me the next day. The situation was handled well and I was told to just leave my things and they would move everything including items in refrigerator. I will say that the last three rooms I've stayed in at Novena have had problems with the safe. A few months ago upon arriving the safe was locked and battery was dead. Maintenance replaced the battery. But it kept failing. They eventually gave me the key to use instead of a code. Then this visit, the first room (the one with the bad a/c) had a similar problem. Finally, the room I moved into for the remaider of my one month stay had a problem with the safe. Upon arrival it was closed, locked, and didn't work. Both maintenance and Jonothan couldn't open it. Jonothan provided a great work around by bringing me a second safe from reception! One annoyance is that there is only one bottle of body wash provided. So, this has to be taken continuously from sink to shower, or in my case, I just bought soap for the sink. This is quite ridiculous. Provide a small bottle for the bathroom sink - especially when sink is usualy not located in the physical bathroom, but just outside.

I have a good stay over there

Thank you for your assistance with finding a taxi to take me back to Changi Airport on Thu Feb 13 early in the morning. When the room key card did not work, you were very helpful in replacing it. I returned both key cards under the glass door when I left on Thu February 12, 2026. The shower, toilet and water, lights and Air Conditioning all worked very well.

Excellent service and communication from front desk. Room was only to be clean once in a week, but they came by twice! Comfortable bed, cozy room with the necessities to cook, microwave and refrigerate. Standing shower, but be sure to click on the water heater, as it can be turned on and off. A/C is perfect temperature. Could use a paint job and nicer floor tiles to enhance the cleanliness of the room. But nonetheless, the hotel is clean and comfortable. There is no lift/elevator. USB outlet for charging if you forgot the charging adapter with the correct prongs. Overall, a great stay!

Great stay, super clean, all the amenities were very useful. Obviously, the location is off any tourist attraction, but everything was wonderful.

Staff is friendly and nice. Room isnt that bad actually, pretty comfortable. Location is convenient and lots of food nearby. But come with some issues. First is Cleanliness can be better such as, floor obivously not sweep/vacuum clean thoroughly enough can still see hair on the floor. The microwave when first use can smell Macdonald, probably the previous guests heat it up. Last is every rooms door when close is freaking loud, is like hearing gunshot, bang bang bang. Consider soft close for all doors and cabinet? But overall if you are on a tight budget, this is pretty good. Oh, no lift, so be ready to climb~

Staff was friendly and helpful. Room was a bit small so was the bathroom. On our first nite the room was filled with food smell left by previous guest.
