Hotels near Aliwal Arts Centre, Singapore

We were going to store our luggage before checking in, but luckily the front desk staff Mr. Faddilli assisted us for an early check in. We were very happy for the early check in. The hotel location is superb and the lobby is very spacious. But there were not much amenities provided for a 4 star hotel. Overall we are satisfied.

At first, the hotel appeared clean. However, when I was going to bed it appeared as if the sheets had not been cleaned. The way of the room was clean though. It's very noisy, you can hear other guests and water running. The cleaners were also making a lot of noise in the corridor from early in the morning. The location is great, with many restaurants and shops on the same street. No safe luggage storage though.

Check-in and check-out were a breeze, and the staff were very efficient. The hotel's location is great, with a subway station about 500 meters away, making it convenient to get around. Plus, there are plenty of dining options within 500-2000 meters, so finding a quick meal is never an issue.

The main attraction is definitely the jacuzzi. The jets work although it wasn't super dramatic or anything. The outdoor area abit dirty but jacuzzi itself clean

The hotel's location is great, and the price is reasonable. Plus, there's a pool, it's very close to the subway station, and there's a 7-Eleven right downstairs! 🤞👍

Love this hotel. Its very accessible to everything we want to go to. We had a kinda small room but I think its the standard specially when you are in a budget but for all the savings we got because of the accessible transpo via MRT, its worth it. There are also a lot of resto downstairs, nearest hawker is 5mins away. Money changer downstairs, free weighing scale in the lobby, lot of stores, mall nearby and of course the MRT beside the hotel is really great. Highly recommend!

The hotel is conveniently located near the bus station. All attractions are accessible by taxi. The staff are friendly and helpful. The windows in the room didn't open, but with the air conditioning on, it wasn't an issue. It was very clean, though the shared hotel restrooms were not. Basic amenities are provided, including a kettle. Thank you for your hospitality.

Great for a budget work-study day, but hygiene needs a serious upgrade I checked into The Pod Boutique on a Thursday afternoon (3:30 PM) specifically to test out their ”business-friendly” reputation. While it serves as a decent, affordable alternative to a café for co-working, there are several pros and cons to consider before booking The Work Experience (Co-working & Amenities) The hostel offers a dedicated co-working space and private office booths The Good: Plenty of power sockets under the tables, a water cooler, and free-flow coffee/tea. There’s a communal fridge and microwave (label your food!) if you want to bring your own snacks The Not-so-Good: The co-working area has no air-conditioning. There are no non-caffeinated options (like Milo or Hot Chocolate) and no snacks provided. The Office Booths: These are a bit dim and not soundproof, so they aren’t ideal for confidential or high-stakes calls. The Bunk & Stay (Mixed Dorm) As a solo female traveler, I felt safe here. There are cameras throughout the property, and the interior of the bunk itself was clean, comfortable, and smelled nice. Inside the Pod: You get one power socket, a towel rack, a hook, and a small shelf Privacy & Noise: The blind is quite translucent, offering little privacy. It isn’t soundproof, so expect noise during the early morning and late-night ”rush hours.” The Catch: There is no mini-table inside the pod, so you can't work from your bed; it's strictly for resting The Downsides Cleanliness: This was the biggest issue. The toilet hallways are very dirty, yet guests are required to remove shoes before entering. Walking barefoot there was quite unpleasant Facilities: There is only one lift (the stairs are faster/more reliable). The pantry is bare-bones (just sugar and stirrers), they charge for cutlery, and no breakfast is provided Value: Honestly, this feels like a ”slightly nice” hostel rather than a ”Boutique” experience. I wouldn’t pay the standard $42–$50 rate for this quality. However, at the $22 discounted rate I got through Trip.com, it’s a fair trade-off for a quiet place to study Summary: If you need a cheap place to crash and do some light laptop work, it’s okay—just bring your own slippers for the bathroom and don't expect a premium ”boutique” feel

The location is the win point for this place. In terms cf comfortable, do not expect a lot in a capsule pod. Ventilation is a little off. The cabin is just relying on the aircond from the outside. The cabin can be a little stuffy if the weather is hot outside. If your pod is the upperdeck, it will be a bit difficult for bathroom breaks, especially when trying to lock your pods. Only 1 keycard is given for the pod. This is not good because you have to switch off the power everytime you go out even for a short break to the bathroom. Bathroom is decent. Noise is expected at night especially weekends because ahops are just below the hotel
