Too noisey to sleep

2.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 10 Apr 2013
The plus points are that this hotel is close to the airport, reception were helpful and efficient, the room is OK for the price......BUT the area is really very noisey. We stayed on a Friday night and people and motorbikes were making noise until past 4.00am. The result was that we didn't get a minute of sleep. So glad we'd only booked the one night.

Obviously I chose this room for its cost, the location is a bit outside of the tourist or business areas, and frankly a bit dodgy of a neighborhood when I arrived in the middle of the night. However the room is spotless, the air conditioning is perfect, the bathroom is Spotless, the bed is soft and nice, and the staff was very friendly even at 3 AM. Have no hesitation for staying here, but don't plan to have a stroll around to see the sights from here. This is an industrial area with mixed residential so stay here and take a taxi to the wonderful sights and sounds of Singapore! I'd rate it as a solid B+!

Our first room had a really bad smell, so we asked for another one.
Second one was better.
This place is one of the cheaper options in Singapore, so what can you expect?
Location is quite ok.
Bus is 50 mtrs, MRT about 800 mtrs.
Neighborhood is red light district, but you have to look good;-)

Well, reading some of the reviews here made me worry a little bit before I went there, but surprisingly their room is clean enough to stay for a day or two! Their staffs are pretty friendly as well. You can store your baggage there before check-in or after check-out with no charges.

With that price, don't expect a 5-star quality hotel, this hotel is perfect for night rest. Try to get a 4th floor room and further from lift if possible. They have almost all basic equipment inside which is a plus!

Don't worry about the red light district area. Everyone know it's there but you can simply ignore them, and frankly they are almost invisible for me. The nearest train station is Kallang, which is about 10-15 minutes walk from the hotel.

I will definitely go back to this hotel if there is another trip down to Singapore.

Room tip: 4th floor rooms generally are good. We stayed at 402, which is a twin room and it's a satisfying room.

We stayed here for 4 nights whilst we were doing a visa run from Bali, and the room was clean and tidy.

We were kept awake by being too close to the elevator so at night time every guest would pass our room door and you can clearly hear them talking, so maybe next time I would request a room further away from the elevator.

We needed to use the MRT on a daily basis, and although it is listed as being a 10 minute walk away, I'd say more like 15-20 minutes, which in the Singapore heat, is very draining!

All in all though, we are happy to recommend this branch of the Fragrance chain of hotels in Singapore.

Room tip: Try to get a room away from the elevator.

It is cleaner and the service is better than expected. Just a little bit too far away from the MRT station. They would clean the room everyday and you can put your luggage there after check-out without extra fee. I would like to stay there if I visit Singapore again but with more comfortable shoes since it requires a lot of walk. :)
