Hotels near Farrer Park, Singapore

Newly renovated with nice and clean room, but the wall is so thin that you can hear other people chatting and water running sounds when they are showering. It would be nice if the bathroom has separate dry/wet area, and hope they have some shower curtains because it’s quite awkward to shower with just ground glass windows. Near MRT Farrer Park station, you can access MRT by going through the mall across the hotel. Very close to Mustafa shopping center, City Square Mall, and Hawker center just 5 minutes walk. Friendly and helpful receptionist.

The location is strategic closed to Bugis, Little India, and Kampong Glam areas. The hotel is relying on mobile phone self check in to opening of door lock. While it is good to be technologically advanced, this policy is discriminatory and excluded those without or less competent with smart phone such as the elderly, guests from other less advanced countries, etc. We have seen many instances of guests struggling for check-in. Even a short trip to the toilet or to kitchen, we need to carry a smart phone to open the room lock. And numerous times there would be problem to open the lock. A key card would be much convenient and practical. The room constantly has a mushy smell from the humidity of the aircon, even the dehumidifier offered no help and need constant emptying of the water 2 times a day for it to work.

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

We recently stayed at Kam Leng Hotel for 2 days, and overall it was a decent experience for the price. From Changi Airport to the hotel, it took almost an hour via MRT, which was manageable. Upon arrival, the hotel staff at the lobby were very approachable, friendly, and professional. Check in was smooth as we simply presented our booking confirmation. However, we were a bit disappointed with the room. The listing on Trip.com showed a room with windows, but the room we received did not have one. The only window was in the bathroom, and the view was just an emergency exit ladder. On the positive side, the room itself was clean and smelled fresh. The bed was comfortable and well-maintained. Amenities included a kettle, coffee mugs, and complimentary bottled water for two. The Android TV was a nice bonus for entertainment, and the lighting was adequate, with a dim option suitable for sleeping. Housekeeping did a good job cleaning the room whenever we were out. One issue we encountered was a power outage that lasted around 15 minutes when we returned to the room, which was quite inconvenient. Thankfully, it was resolved shortly. The bathroom was clean and well kept, with a reliable hot water supply. Despite a few drawbacks, for its affordable price, I would still recommend this hotel. It is also conveniently located just a short walk from nearby parks and leisure attractions in Singapore.

The location was great. Next to mrt station and there's a mall right opposite to get food. Some things to consider are: 1. We stayed 2 nights and asked if they could help to vacuum the floor but was told no daily housekeeping.. 2. We booked a family room for 4 adults and 1 child but only 2 sets of utensils were provided. 3. The room was warm. The aircon will automatically reset. We couldn't sleep and had to call the reception to lower the temperature. However, it was only slightly better. Perhaps the aircons need maintenance. 4. One of the beds was horrible. The mattress was worn out with uneven support and spring/steel frames poking our back. Had body ache the next day. 5. Also to note that no tissue paper was provided. I find this weird considering this is a 4-star accommodation.

Overall, the hotel offers a pleasant stay with a convenient location close to many tourist attractions, making it easy to explore the area. The facilities and overall environment are satisfactory, contributing to a comfortable experience. However, there was a minor issue with cleanliness, as some stains were found on the bed. While this did not completely affect the stay, improving housekeeping standards would make the experience even better.

The room was clean and tidy, the bedding was comfortable, and the soundproofing was good. The front desk staff were enthusiastic and check-in was efficient. The location is convenient for getting around, and overall, it offers great value for money. My stay was very pleasant and I'd recommend it.

We arrived at the hotel at 4 AM. The front desk staff was very nice; they didn't receive my booking due to a system error. Although they didn't speak Chinese, they upgraded our room and called a duty colleague who spoke Chinese to explain everything to me. They even gave us complimentary breakfast. Since I was traveling alone with two kids, I felt a bit unsafe staying in the Little India area, even though the hotel was very friendly. There were just too many Indian people outside when we left. There's an S7 convenience store downstairs. We weren't really used to the hotel's breakfast, but the toast with chocolate spread was decent! The hotel also offers currency exchange, and it's very close to the Little India MRT station!

I stayed at this hotel during my recent trip. The room and general facilities were decent, and the staff were polite. However, I had an unfortunate experience where my expensive camera stand went missing during my stay. I informed the hotel, but unfortunately nothing could be done to locate it. This was very disappointing. While my stay was otherwise okay, this situation left a negative impression. I would advise future guests to be very careful with their valuables.😒
