Hotel Calmo Chinatown sits in Chinatown, where nearby restaurants are easy to reach on foot, and the MRT and buses are available for getting around. Rooms are small enough that there is almost no floor space to walk once a suitcase is opened, and there are many stairs inside and outside the hotel. Reception staff are brusque, and sewage or cigarette smells come from the rooms and bathrooms. The bathrooms and bedding are not clean.
