Ibis Styles Singapore on Macpherson
Stayed at Ibis Styles Singapore on Macpherson and had a great experience overall. While some front desk staff speak Mandarin, even when none were available, the team was very patient using translation tools to communicate—no issues at all. The booking was split across multiple reservations, but if rooms are available, it would be helpful to just ask to continue staying in your original room instead of checking out and back in again—it saves time. There’s free drinking water available at both the restaurant and ground floor area, so no need to boil water in-room, which is super convenient, especially with kids or for those who drink a lot of water. The location is also close to the MRT station, making it easy to get around the city. Overall, excellent value for money and highly recommend this hotel for a comfortable stay.
Arcadia Hotel
Staying at Arcadia Hotel was an absolute delight! The location is fantastic—super easy to get to, with a bus stop right outside the alley. A short walk leads you to cozy local cafes and a little Vietnamese food spot, plus a vibrant street food area nearby. The staff were incredibly friendly and even offered early check-in since the room was already cleaned and ready. The room itself was spotless—bedding and bathroom were fresh and tidy. Though compact, it felt cozy and thoughtfully designed, making it feel like a comfortable home away from home. For the price, this hotel offers incredible value. I’d highly recommend it to anyone visiting Singapore!
Hotel Chancellor@Orchard
The stay at Hotel Chancellor@Orchard was absolutely delightful. The room itself was clean, well-maintained, and surprisingly quiet for a central location—perfect for a good night’s sleep without any noise disturbances. The hygiene standards were excellent: fresh linens, spotless bathroom, and an overall sense of care in every detail. Being located right on Orchard Road is a major plus—everything you’d want is within walking distance. From high-end shopping to local eats, street food stalls, and lively bars lining the ground floor, there’s never a shortage of options. I loved grabbing a drink at one of the nearby lounges late at night—it added such a vibrant touch to the experience. Whether you’re here for business or leisure, this hotel strikes the perfect balance between convenience, comfort, and charm. Definitely a top pick for anyone visiting Singapore.
Hotel Bencoolen @ Bencoolen Street
The location of Hotel Bencoolen is incredibly convenient—right next to the MRT station, making it just a two-stop ride to major attractions. I was really impressed by the excellent value for money, especially with breakfast included. A special shoutout to the front desk staff member with glasses—so friendly and welcoming, particularly toward Chinese guests. It made a big difference in how comfortable and at home I felt during my stay. The whole experience was top-notch, and I’ll definitely be returning here on my next trip to Singapore.
A Hotel Bugis
This A Hotel Bugis is a perfect example of 'small but mighty'—compact yet packed with everything you need. Staying on Middle Road puts you in the heart of everything: a short walk to the temple, and just steps away from Albert Centre for some authentic Mee Rebus that’s seriously delicious. Don’t miss the roadside Indian vendor’s two-singapore-dollar milk tea—creamy, rich, and ridiculously affordable. The staff at the front desk were incredibly helpful too; once my universal power adapter broke, they immediately lent me a spare—such a lifesaver! And right next to the hotel, there’s an orange juice vending machine offering fresh juice for just two Singapore dollars—cheaper than anything I’ve seen in Shenzhen. I haven’t tried it yet, so if you go, please give it a shot and let me know how it is!
ibis budget Singapore Imperial
Staying at ibis budget Singapore Imperial was a fantastic experience overall. The location is unbeatable—just a 5-minute walk from the MRT station, making it super easy to reach all major attractions and even the airport. There’s a fitness center, food court, and affordable grocery store nearby, so everything you need is within walking distance. Despite being in a busy city area, the hotel itself is surprisingly quiet, which made for a peaceful stay. The room is compact but well-equipped with all essentials—just note that slippers aren’t provided. The front desk staff were incredibly helpful and friendly; they offered Chinese language support and free luggage storage, which was a huge plus. One minor downside is the room sound insulation—earplugs are recommended if you’re sensitive to noise. But honestly, this doesn’t take away from how satisfied I am with the whole experience. Great value, excellent location, and warm service make this a top choice for budget travelers.
Jayleen 1918 Hotel Singapore
Staying at Jayleen 1918 Hotel was a delightful surprise. The hotel is small but perfectly designed—rooms are compact yet cozy, spotlessly clean, and come with all the essentials for a comfortable stay. The staff went above and beyond with their friendly and attentive service; they made me feel welcome from the moment I arrived.

Highly recommend this hotel if you're looking for a modern, clean, and tech-friendly stay in Singapore.
Dash Living Rochor
Our check-in experience was smooth and hassle-free despite the front desk being unstaffed upon arrival. Using the intercom system and digital tools, we were quickly assisted through the process—everything took just 15 minutes. The room we booked accommodated three guests comfortably, and the space felt fair for the price. Basic amenities like a water heater, hairdryer, and refrigerator were provided—only the iron required a quick trip to the second-floor balcony area, which was easy to access. There’s also a shared washing machine available, a nice touch for longer stays. The bed and room were clean and well-maintained, contributing to a pleasant and relaxing stay. Location-wise, it's extremely convenient—right next to an MRT station and bus stops, making travel around Singapore effortless. Nearby, you’ll find a money changer and a 7-Eleven, so all essentials are within walking distance. Overall, the service, cleanliness, and value made this a highly satisfying experience. I’d definitely recommend this hotel and plan to return.
A Hotel Dickson
Staying at A Hotel Dickson for a week was an absolute delight. The location is unbeatable—just a 5-minute walk from the nearest MRT station, and only 3 stops to Bugis, making downtown access super convenient. Right outside the hotel are some fantastic Indian restaurants—perfect for dinner without needing to travel far. I also loved how close it was to the Origin Bird Singapore factory store, just a 10-minute stroll away. The room itself was compact but well-designed, with smart space utilization. One major plus? The bathroom features a clean dry-wet separation, and the shower pressure was excellent. Daily housekeeping made sure everything stayed fresh and tidy—an unexpected bonus at this price point. Overall, the comfort, cleanliness, and convenience really stand out. It’s not just a place to sleep—it’s a great base for exploring Singapore. I’ll definitely be back.
ISA Hotel & Apartment Hotel
Staying at ISA Hotel & Apartment Hotel was a wonderful experience. The place is incredibly quiet, making it perfect for a peaceful and restful getaway—no noise from the street or nearby shops. It's a bit off the main commercial areas, but not too far; a short taxi ride gets you to most attractions and dining spots without hassle. The rooms are spacious, clean, and well-maintained, offering great value for money. I appreciated the calm atmosphere and the thoughtful layout of the space. If you're looking for a serene, comfortable stay in Singapore with a good balance between convenience and tranquility, this hotel is definitely worth considering.
36 Club House
I’ve stayed here multiple times and finally decided to share my experience. This place is a real gem for budget travelers who value location and convenience. Right next to Mercure Chinatown, it’s just a short walk from the MRT and all major tourist spots—Chinatown, Little India, and more are super accessible. There are tons of Korean restaurants nearby, perfect if you’re craving some kimchi or bibimbap. The staff only speak English, but they’re friendly and helpful whenever needed. Cleaning services come every 2–3 days, and towels are replaced upon request—just bring them down to the front desk. One thing to note: staff leave after 7:30 PM, so plan accordingly if you need assistance later in the evening. The shared washing machine is located at the front counter, with wash and dry both priced at $5 each—way cheaper than local laundry shops. Great for longer stays or travelers packing light. Overall, the apartment is clean, well-maintained, and offers excellent value. I’ll definitely be back.
