However, it was an overall disappointing experience, and here’s why: 1. Citadines Rocher (recently opened in 2020) was one of my top choices in having a local staycation because of its location and price range. You might want to consider somewhere more luxurious if you want a relax-cation for longer.Īs an Ascott group member, there are decent expectations of an Ascott experience in all the properties in which I had once stayed (Ascott, Somerset, Citadines). Great place if you're here for a business trip, or if you want to explore the area for a day or two. While the room was a bit more spacious than normal, the curtained off washroom area made it feel a bit like a hospital ward. Ended up being given a wheelchair accessible room. Television was rather grainy in quality, and channel selection was limited. Replacements arrived after around 20 minutes from call to housekeeping. Mini-fridge was damaged, and blanket was missing at first. Was able to walk to Rochor station within 3 minutes. Location meant easy access to food at Bugis Street area. Was a bit disappointed that the selection didn't change on the second day, though. Business nature of hotel is apparent - solid desk for work, and Wi-Fi is fast and stable. Added breakfast at the restaurant for each day. Overall it's a very basic hostel but the location is good.īooked the single room as a quick 2N getaway for the long Vesak Day weekend. The front desk is not very friendly but the check-in and out was smooth and easy (beware check-in is not allowed before 3pm). The people staying in the common areas (not sure if they were guests of the hostel or not) was a bit peculiar, so we were glad to have our own space. The kitchen is tiny, and there is a sofa at the entrance that is always busy and with lots of people sleeping on it, so you can't really use it. There is way too much people hosted in the hostel for the size of the common living space they have. And now let's move to the worse bit of the hostel: the common areas. Not what we expected, but it did the job. The surprise was they have left us ”the breakfast” for the following 2 days in there, which consisted of bread, jam, tea and coffee. Breakfast was provided in a weird way: the first night we arrived we noticed a big plastic box in the room. There are also more showers and toilets in the other floors that we could use. In the 12 beds room there was a private bathroom too with 2 toilets and a shower, which was very handy as it gave us some privacy. Let's start with the room: we had bunk beds with everything you may need: sheets, pillows, curtains to close them at night (great stuff for privacy this!) and personal lockers (you need to bring your own padlock). You can just pick up where you left off.We were a group of 12 and opted to stay in this hostel booking the whole 12 beds room, which we were very glad to have as it was the room at the top floor of the hostel, meaning the less noisy and more isolated one from the rest of the chaos. So, if you have to stop for some reason and come back later, no problem. Your progress is tracked through your course. Also, these classes do not have to be completed all at once. Why get in your car and travel miles away to sit in a classroom, when you can stroll into your study and learn from the comfort of your own home, or while you have down time at work. In addition to providing you with the best classes, I’m also trying to make it the most convenient. The goal with my courses is to be both… to bring you the best possible training at the best possible rates. In business, the “experts” always say, “Be the best or be the cheapest, but never be both.” I think my style of adding audio and video is much more entertaining and fosters a better learning environment. I’ve taken power-point style continuing education classes online, and frankly they always put me to sleep. I also put you first when creating my classes. With that I can bring a variety of real life experiences into the classroom. I’ve been in the water industry for over 17 years and have done everything from distribution system repair and maintenance, to responding to emergencies and dealing with customer concerns, to actually operating one of the largest water distribution systems in the country, to running treatment plants large and small. These aren’t just boring, power-point presentations assembled by some engineer or course creator who has never worked in our industry or who has never actually done our jobs.
