Being just a 10-minute walk from the MRT station and only about 700–800 meters from a major shopping complex makes daily travel effortless. The free parking is a huge plus, especially if you're arriving by car. Plus, the building faces Jian Kang City, so dining and shopping are literally right across the street. Everything you need is within easy reach, and the location offers great value without compromising on peace and comfort. Highly recommend this stay for both business and leisure travelers.

The location at Hotel Soloha was absolutely fantastic—just steps away from charming shops and delicious restaurants, plus a quick walk to the metro station. My room was spotless and well-maintained, with a smooth check-in and check-out process. The staff were warm and helpful throughout my stay. I was on the 4th floor, and while there was a slight background hum of music from outside at night, it wasn’t disruptive or loud enough to ruin the experience. Honestly, this didn’t detract from my enjoyment in the slightest. The overall vibe, comfort, and convenience made for a perfect getaway. I’d definitely stay here again without hesitation.
This was our first trip to Singapore with my parents, and staying at this Thomson hotel exceeded all expectations. The location is super convenient—just a short walk from the MRT station and close to major attractions. What really stood out was the exceptional service from the staff. A friendly Chinese-speaking front desk agent went above and beyond to help us book a ride and answered every question patiently. Another kind-hearted staff member near the entrance, who wore glasses, also offered quick assistance whenever needed—so welcoming and helpful. I’ll never forget bumping into a tall Chinese gentleman early in the morning while he was meticulously cleaning the windows. His dedication and attention to detail were truly admirable. It wasn’t just about doing the job—it felt like he took pride in making the space look perfect. From the warm atmosphere to the thoughtful touches, this stay was unforgettable. If you’re visiting Singapore with family, I highly recommend this place. Great value, great vibes, and genuine care from the team.
Staying at Kam Leng Hotel was a delightful surprise! The room was well-arranged with windows facing the corner of the street, offering a charming view of the local neighborhood life—perfect for people-watching in the morning. Right nearby are some authentic local eateries run by Chinese Singaporeans; I enjoyed delicious street food without even having to go far. While not directly across from the MRT station, it’s only a 10-minute walk away—very convenient for getting around the city. What stood out most was the friendly staff who speak fluent Chinese, making communication seamless and welcoming. I accidentally left my water bottle at the front desk, and they kindly reminded me to pick it up—such thoughtful service! After a full day of exploring, returning to a clean and tidy room was a real comfort. They also provide complimentary toiletries, two bottles of mineral water, and two packets of coffee—simple but appreciated touches. Overall, the hotel offers excellent value for money, a comfortable atmosphere, and genuine hospitality. I’d definitely stay here again and recommend it to fellow travelers.
The lobby and public areas are spacious and well-designed, making the overall atmosphere feel open and welcoming. While there's no elevator, the building is relatively low-rise, so walking up the stairs isn't a major inconvenience. One thing to note is that room soundproofing could be better—some noise from adjacent rooms can be heard, especially during quiet hours. However, the windowless rooms are a real plus for sleep quality; once the lights are off, absolutely no external light seeps in, creating a pitch-black environment perfect for deep rest. This makes it ideal for gamers or travelers who prioritize uninterrupted sleep. Despite minor drawbacks, the overall experience was excellent, and I’d definitely stay here again.
Had an excellent short stay at ST Signature Jalan Besar — even with just 8 hours from 11:59 PM to 8 AM, it felt like a true retreat. The place is impeccably clean, quiet, and well-maintained, which made the brief overnight visit feel relaxing and refreshing. Located just steps away from the MRT station, getting around Singapore was super convenient. Though the room is compact, every inch is thoughtfully used — the bed was comfortable, the lighting cozy, and the overall ambiance peaceful. It’s rare to find such a high-quality experience at this price point. For travelers looking for a reliable, no-frills spot that delivers comfort and value, this is absolutely worth it. I’ll definitely be back.

The hotel is right next to a charming old church, giving the area a peaceful, authentic vibe. I booked a suite, which offered ample space and a clean, minimalist design that felt both modern and cozy. One thing to note: toothbrushes and toothpaste aren’t provided, so be sure to bring your own. That said, the overall value and comfort make it well worth it. I’d definitely stay here again when visiting Singapore.
This hostel truly stands out among the rest—definitely one of the best stays I've had in Singapore. Right off the bat, the free water and coffee are a nice touch, and the room itself is incredibly quiet.

I was a bit surprised by the online check-in without a front desk attendant, but the process was smooth and hassle-free. The hotel’s location is unbeatable—right near Bugis, with shopping malls, restaurants, and public transport just a short walk away. The air conditioning is powerful, though the tatami-style room felt a bit cramped for two adults and one child. Breakfast was great—single-serve options that were fresh and satisfying. The hallway is spacious but quite cold, probably due to the strong AC. I also tried the on-site massage service outside the hotel, and it was excellent for unwinding after a long day. One downside is the lack of soundproofing in the rooms—some noise from neighboring units carried through. Despite that, the overall experience was fantastic, and I’d definitely book again.
This was my first stay at this hotel, and I have to say it exceeded all my expectations! The location is fantastic—just a short walk from the MRT station and within easy reach of major attractions.

The room was spotless, with no unpleasant odors, and the bedding was soft and comfortable—perfect for a restful night’s sleep. The bathroom features a smart dry-wet separation design, and the hot water pressure was excellent, which made my morning routine so much more enjoyable. Free Wi-Fi was fast and reliable, ideal for streaming or staying connected. Bonus points for the on-site gym and self-service laundry facilities—huge convenience for travelers staying longer or packing light. Everything about this place felt thoughtfully designed with guest comfort in mind. I’ll definitely be back and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Singapore.
