Depends on your attitude!!

My wife and I went to Singapore for 5 days holiday. First, I looked at Fragrance-Sapphire but it's full so I chose Fragrance-Sunflower which located on the opposite side instead. My price was 78SGD for Superior room in May, it's OK for me. First night, when we reached the hotel at 21:00, the stuff gave us the room on first floor which I thought it wasn't safe enough because our window was next to the walkway of the back alley. I asked him to change the room to other floor, he said it was full tonight but he will arrange for us on the next day. The hotel stuff was fine, they just do their duty; check-in, get the money and try to fix problem. The room was small but had everything we need; bathroom, air-con, double-bed. The hotel stuff clean the room everyday.

About the transportation, Geylang is a little bit outside the city, but we don't have problem with its. We always traveled by bus no. 80 or 100 from the bus stop which is 200 meters away from the hotel to the other side of the city; Chinatown, Vivo City, Cable car station or Orchard road. It's very convenience. Highly recommended!!

But I do not recommended if you are a kind of PERFECTIONIST!!

Reviewed 26 March 2012

my wife stayed in this hotel because I chose the hotel...and i chose it because they offered a double bed room for 36 dollars us a nite plus the tax which for 3 nites was a total of about 130 usd...the room was clean ...it could use a new coat of paint..but the a/c worked really good and the shower had all the hottest water you ever want...i loved the shower and so did my wife..we were treated just fine by the staff ..at least the two ladies we talked to...i would recommend this hotel be able to provide ice cubes...and should have a can soda machine on the property for their guests...oh and the bed is ok...just ok...they have a foam mattress covered in vinyl i think which makes it cold...cause the bottom sheet is not a fitted sheet..so it would not stay put and ended up being balled up under you when you were sleeping and you end up sleeping on the cold vinyl mattress...but the hotel in general is just fine...especially if your on a inexpensive budget...like i am...singapore is a clean and safe place to go but it can be expensive..actually it can be very very expensive if you don't really look around...i recommend taking the buses or metro rail...and not the cabs...and you can find inexpensive places to eat if you really look and the food is good in general

The hotel is situated in Geylang area. Which is a minus, but also plus for some people. Other than that the hotel is very economical. Rooms are small. But neat and clean. Bathrooms are just ok. If you dont expect much, u'll be very happy. Free internet is there via Wifi. also a desktop at reception with pay per hour charges. Reception is good, and they helped us with discounts, also we kept our luggage at reception on last day morning and picked it up before going to airport thus saved one days charge.
All in all Best u can get for such low price

Room tip: Corner rooms are good

We needed two family rooms as there were 6 in our extended family with one being a 9 year old daughter and we had difficulty finding suitable accommodation, in the budget price range, until I found the Fragrance Sunflower.
The telephone reservation person was most helpful and when we arrived we were greeted buy the front desk staff member and checked in without any delay.
From reading reviews from others on Tripadvisor, we were expecting some negatives but after three nights/four days staying in this hotel we all were most impressed with the manners of the three front desk staff, the service personal as well as how clean the rooms were. People that travel sufficiently know what to expect but there are also many travelers that just want to whinge for the sake of whinging as can be read from some of the reviews on this web site. My experience comes from 881 days overseas in the past 19 years.
Budget accommodation, by it's name implies that the price will be cheap and the service basic, but at the Sunflower we were impressed as we could not fault this hotel.
If we wanted additional towels - no problems; if we wanted directions or assistance in booking attractions - again no problems and with their assistance we did more and saw more than we thought we could in the 4 days we were in Singapore.
Bathroom water temperature and pressure seems to be a problem in Singapore (refer many reviews on many other hotels), but at the Sunflower the water was very hot and the pressure better than other hotels I have stayed in in many cities around the world.
The internet was available through an associate hotel across the road, a walk of 60 meters.
The MRT was less than 10 minutes walk and taxi's were available from the main road at the end of the street - 140 meters.
Food, drink and entertainment (including ladies of the night) were in plentiful supply from as close as 50 meters.
We, including our 9 year old daughter, never felt uncomfortable walking in the streets at night.

1) When you arrive at this hotel the staff don´t even greet you. They are very rude. But fine, if that was the only negative thing I could live with that.

2) There are loads of cockroaches in the room (everywere). The staff told us that it is worse when it´s raining.

3) The location is far away from the metro. When it´s raining it´s impossible to get a taxi so you have to walk the 20 minutes and get soaked.

4) The location is in a bad area according to the locals, it´s in the red light district.

I stayed in fragrance sunflower for three nights . Staff is very rude especially receptionist at night duty Check in took one hour although we booked online in advance..Hotel provides only 2 glass of drinking water( 250 ml each) per day.You have to request for extra water(although they provide on repeated requests after threatening that you will be charged for it). Hotel must provide at least 2 bottles of drinking water as it is very hot in singapore.
