Small rooms
As is the case with other budget hotels in Singapore, the rooms at Fragrance Oasis are on the small side, to the point that the bed takes up the majority of the space. This proved to be a problem for some guests who found that there was little space for clothes, suitcases and other belongings.Far from an MRT stationSome guests complained that there isn't an MRT (Mass Rapid Transit) station near the hotel. It seems that the nearest station is a 15-20 minute walk away, so it's largely subjective as to whether this is far or not. However, the hotel is next to a bus stop which serves Novena MRT, so if you don't want to walk you can catch a bus instead.No freebiesBased on feedback, a few guests would have liked to receive a few more freebies during their stay here. Breakfast isn't provided and there aren't any complimentary toiletries or slippers either. However, the fact that this hotel doesn't offer such extras is reflected in lower room rates.
