It is not a hotel, just a little cave. I don’t stay there again even if it is free next time. It is cheaper than many other hotels, however it doesn’t worth any dollar you spend. The first room was dirty, the bed has blood in it. I booked the room with windows and they gave me room without window. Second day they gave me a room with window, but not any better than first room.

Overall, good location with restaurants around. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The room (Superior Double Room) was clean, small (expected). It’s more ideal for very short stays and 1 person, maximum two people. My wife and I had two small luggage’s and one big one. There wasn’t enough space to open the luggage AND walk around the room. One (small) issue I had was, we got a room with a “window” but the window was sealed shut and we couldn’t even see outside the window. I booked it, paid the extra cost, with an expectation that I could open the window. If I knew I would not be able to open the window, I would have just paid less and gone with a windowless room.

I booked room (with windows). I got the rooms facing the street on the second floor. The windows are covered by louvres that cannot be opened. No light can come through. Obviously no view. The thermostat doesn't work. Too cold. Turn off the aircond to sleep else your face would be frozen. The noise from the streets are unbearable as it is along bus route. Hint of smoke in the room. The shower head holder is broken. Avoid

The Lily is very close walking distance to the Geylang shopping area. Lots of food options. The front desk staff were the best thing about the hotel, friendly and always helpful. Rooms were disappointing, smelled of mould and you could see it in the crevices of the bathroom. The lock on bathroom door was broken. Can also smell cigarette smoke coming in through the vents from another room, very strongly. Housekeeping was really sloppy, never seen a bed made up so lazily like that before. They did the bare minimum in cleaning.

Very small hotel space. No actual windows, even though I paid extra they were "guarded", so don't get the hotel with the [fake] windows! The hotel lobby always smells like really strong perfume, and the shower is literally space in the same as the toilet/restroom - no separate bath. A very weird setup. The only plus to this hotel was the location. Loved the streets and the walkability.

A lot of dining options in the area plus it's got all the facilities you'd need for a budget hotel. Walls could be thicker but didn't bother me much. I would definitely stay here again given the opportunity.

Few items in the room were dirty & sticky. The shower head on the wall kept falling off. More than half of the 10 TV channels didnt work. However it is in a prime location as lots of restaurants on the same street. Front receptionist was very friendly.

Staff helped me change rooms, as I think I booked the wrong room size. I think there needs to be more cleaning staff, as rooms were cleaned but it seemed only had 1 or 2 people available to clean.

Nasty and moldy!!
The worst hotel i have ever been to in my life. Landed in Singapore at 2am and needed a place to stay in until I check in to my hotel at 2 pm, so I decided to go with this one. Oh my god, it s absolutely horrendous. When you get in, you smell mold and sewer. The check in was good, the employee was polite, we were given a suite. It was nasty, moldy and yuky, it didn’t look like I was in Singapore. Please stay away!!!

Not your typical “tiny, basic, but clean” stay for the night. There’s a strong cigarette smell upon entering the lobby, and the same smell lingers in the rooms too. There’s an aircon outlet right above where your pillows are that keeps blowing air into your face while you sleep. There’s no way to hide from it as the double bed is quite small for two adults. Basic design mistake
