Thoughts: 米酒店 Hotel Mi is reported as a 4+Star Hotel (but I think more like 3 or 3.5-Star) located along 明古連街 Bancoolen Street in the flourishing cultural district of an area called "武吉士 Bugis" in the heart of 新加坡 Singapore City. The refurbished "aged hotel" offers rooms with a minimalistic theme, less than a minute walk to the 明古連地鐵站 Bancoolen MRT station (Downtown Line) with a 2-stops ride to 牛車水 China Town. AND from 牛車水 China Town (NEL Line) can also lead to 港灣區 Harbor Front area (Circle Line).
The Hotel is located in a very Conncected Area; with a short walk along Bancoolen Street (maybe 2-3 minutes walk) is the 明古連清真寺 Masjid Bencoolen, and another 5-10 minutes walk are the 觀音堂佛祖廟 Kwan Im Thong Hood Cho Temple as well as 克里斯南興都廟 Krishnan Temple where several food courts like the 金隆大厦 Fortune Centre and Albert Centre Market & Food Centre where Singapore hawker dishes at generally affordable prices can be found. BUGIS, Orchard Road, Little India, and China town are all within a 2 to 2.5km radius reachable with either MRT or scenic walks. ALONG or around Bancoolen Street are also many choices of 3 to 4-Start accomodations. 
The SGD$150 (or around rm$500+) is for the Superior Queen room with Breakfast where Breakfast is next door at "Non Residential" (a Gastropub); the Hotel does not offer any Dine-in facilities, available are a Swimming pool and Fitness Centre. The Superior Queen for the next 3 nights comes with window view of some greeneries at the 2nd floor; it is however a basic room with a generally comfortable Queen size bed, work area (with good Wifi speed), small flat screen TV, refrigerator, the usual electrical kettle for coffee/tea meaking, and a small but clean toilet with hot shower.
