I was a bit nervous when booking, having read so many negative reviews online. But the moment I arrived at the hotel, everything turned around in the best way possible. The Indian front desk staff were incredibly friendly—when they saw our group of six, they immediately upgraded us to connecting rooms on a higher floor and even surprised the kids with little toys. The room itself has a dark, stylish design, but surprisingly great natural light. The twin-bed room comes with a balcony, while the king bed room doesn’t—but it features a spacious soft lounge area that’s perfect for relaxing. Two power adapters are provided, and the minibar and snacks were complimentary during our first round. I really loved the pool area—it's spacious, well-maintained, and feels very inviting. A quick tip: most restaurants inside Resorts World Sentosa close by 8 PM, so plan dinner early. We ended up at one of the few open spots—Putian—only to find out they don’t allow à la carte ordering; only full meal sets (around SGD 350–400), plus drinks, taxes, and service fees brought our total to nearly 2,500 RMB. Unfortunately, the food didn’t live up to the price. Afterward, I noticed many guests were using Grab for room service—definitely a smarter move if you want convenience without the stress.
I’ve stayed in many hotels, but Momentus Serviced Residences Novena truly stands out. The location is fantastic—just a short walk to Chinatown Square, where dining, shopping, and casual outings are all within easy reach. I booked a one-bedroom layout with a spacious balcony, which was perfect for cooking meals and hanging laundry—something you just can’t do in a standard hotel room. As someone who travels solo and values privacy, I really appreciated not having daily cleaning. It gave me more control over my space and routine, making the stay feel much more like home. The apartment is clean, quiet, and well-designed, offering excellent value for money. If you’re looking for comfort, convenience, and a bit of independence, this place is a must-try.
Staying at Hotel Re! was an absolute delight. Located right in the heart of Singapore, the hotel offers unbeatable convenience—everything you need is just a short walk away. The room was spotless, beautifully designed, and very comfortable. I loved how modern and well-maintained it felt. With excellent access to public transport and top-notch service, this place truly delivers on every level. A fantastic choice for both business travelers and tourists looking for comfort and value. Highly recommend!
The place was cozy and comfortable, perfect for a quiet getaway in a peaceful part of Stevens. While the building infrastructure is a bit dated, it didn’t take away from our enjoyment. We made good use of the kitchen facilities, though we noticed the crockery wasn’t clean when we first checked in—there was grease on some plates. Luckily, the staff were very helpful and provided us with soap and a sponge to clean everything up. It’s clear that cleanliness could be improved, but overall, we had a great stay and appreciated the warm, home-like vibe. Definitely worth considering for a relaxed urban escape.
Staying at Sandpiper Hotel was an absolute delight from start to finish. The location is perfect—just a short walk from Rochor MRT station, making it super easy to explore Chinatown, Little India, and Arab Street. We booked a family room with four beds (no window, but still spacious and well-organized). It came with a kettle, TV, air conditioning, a private bathroom with shower, towels, and a safe—everything you’d need for a comfortable stay. Free Wi-Fi was fast and reliable throughout our visit. The area is packed with shops, restaurants, and money exchange counters, so convenience is top-notch. Upon check-in, we paid a SGD 100 deposit, which was refunded immediately upon checkout—no hassle at all. The staff were incredibly welcoming, responsive, and attentive to every request. Their hospitality made a big difference in how enjoyable the trip felt. With such great value, excellent service, and unbeatable location, this hotel is a must-stay in Singapore. I’ll definitely be back.
Staying at Robertson Quay Hotel was an absolute delight. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the room was spotlessly clean—everything felt fresh and well-maintained. The size of the room was just right: not too cramped, not too spacious, perfect for a comfortable stay. The view from the window was stunning, with beautiful riverside scenery that added to the relaxing vibe. Location-wise, it’s unbeatable—just a 5 to 10-minute walk to Clarke Quay, the MRT station, and even a 7-Eleven, making exploring Singapore super convenient. I’d definitely choose this hotel again on my next trip to the city. The only minor drawback is that there’s no convenient storage space under the bathroom mirror for toiletries—adding a small shelf or ledge would make it even better.
Perfect for backpackers! This capsule hotel on Boat Quay offers unbeatable convenience and value. Just a short walk from the MRT, it’s surrounded by great food spots, shops, and vibrant nightlife along the riverfront. The rooms are compact but clean, cozy, and well-maintained—ideal for solo travelers or budget-conscious explorers. I loved the quiet, secure atmosphere and how friendly the staff were. They even helped me plan my itinerary and gave local tips. With such a central location, excellent price-to-quality ratio, and a unique experience, this place is a must-stay if you're visiting Singapore on a budget. Highly recommend for any adventurous traveler looking for comfort without the premium price.

It stayed quiet and peaceful throughout the night, making it perfect for a good rest. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, going the extra mile to ensure a pleasant experience. I’ll definitely be returning to this hotel on my next trip to Singapore.
Staying at The Inn at Temple Street in Chinatown was an absolute delight. The property was spotlessly clean, and its central location made exploring the area effortless—just a short walk to bustling markets, local eateries, and iconic landmarks. The staff went above and beyond, especially Mrs. Amelia Goh, who greeted us with warmth and genuine care. She took the time to guide us on where to find authentic local snacks and essentials, making our trip much more enjoyable. Her kindness and attentiveness truly made the experience memorable. I can’t recommend this place enough—if we ever return to Singapore, this will be our first choice for accommodation.
This place is an absolute gem—affordable without compromising on comfort or convenience. Located just steps away from the city center and right next to a train station, getting around Singapore is a breeze. The neighborhood is vibrant yet safe, even late at night. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, making your stay feel welcoming. Rooms are cleaned daily, maintaining a high standard of hygiene.
