Hotels near East Inspirations Shop, Singapore

Location - prefect, has lots of bars and restaurants and cafes right below and across, less than a minute walk to Chinatown market alleys which has more bars, restaurants, souvenir stores and tourist traps. About 2 mins walk to Maxwell MRT and the famous Maxwell food centre and Chinatown Complex Market, and less than a minute walk to beautiful chinese and hindu temples. Staff - wonderful, helpful and welcoming. Room - very cold and the capsule was comfortable, the ladder to the upper bunks were thin and not very comfortable to use but its quite typical at many other capsules and good thing it’s very sturdy. Room was very narrow as there is not much space between the capsules and wall so it will be hard to fit many luggages if the room is fully occupied and there’s limited space to walk with people’s shoes around (still manageable). Amenities - everything provided (towel, slippers, toothbrush, toothpaste, earplugs). Water dispensers available. No tissues in sight unfortunately. Bathroom - unfortunately this is the dealbreaker for me, while it is a personal preference that I dislike wet toilets and that majority other capsules have shower mixed with toilet, I wish that the management would be more transparent by posting photos of it. The toilet smells a little due to irresponsible guests. While it is understandable that there is only two toilet-showers available to the whole floor and that staff are not available beyond certain hours, the trash bin could be bigger or more than one, as the guests pile up thrash really fast into the small bin and scents could be put in the toilet. Other facilities: At the top floor, the laundry machine seems to be working as I saw others airing their laundry but I could not find detergent anywhere and the laundry was full of water. Kitchen was empty as it is still being renovated, but there was a lot of grime on the floor and cleaning supplies were not stored properly which was unfortunate considering guests were still using the kitchen bar to eat as there are no other place to sit.

It has a great location for a tourist. Walking distance from the metro station. Plenty of restaurants around. The space is really tiny. I got a single room and I had to jump on the table to access the bed. The boy kindly changed my room to an easier bed access. The carpet was dirty and the bathroom average. There is no ventilation, I felt lack of oxigen. You can hear any conversation as if they were in your room. The bathroom was in another floor...Well, I guess Singapore accommodation is hell expensive and this is what I get for this money.

Where to start. The hostel is close to a several of exits for Chinatown MRT station. Cheap eats are everywhere in Chinatown so you will be spoilt for choice. Check out the money changers at People's Park for good exchange rates if you have cash. The junction of South Bridge Road and Upper Cross Street is within walking distance of Marina Bay, Gardens by the Bay, the Barrage, the CBD, Bugis, City Hall. There is a self service laundrette down the street which includes detergent, and is fairly cheap for a wash and tumble dry load. And if you hanker for fresh fruit, check out the produce market in the Hong Lim Complex. The nitty gritty: the hostel is cheap, but no palace. Whilst the room and corridor floors are washed everyday, the same cannot be said of the showers and toilets - the grime and mould on the walls is beyond belief; good luck anyone who doesn't wear something on their feet when using the facilities. Rooms are airless and musty, having no ventilation even if they have windows which are sealed, and have a sweaty atmosphere of their own. AirCon only lowers the temperature of the rooms, and does nothing to circulate fresh air. Mattresses have seen better days and dip in the middle where countless bodies have slept on them over time. The same can be said of the pillows. The website photos paint the hostel in a deceptively clean and bright light, unfortunately the view from the open air eating area now looks onto a very large building sight, which even by SG standards must have been underway for at least 12 to 18 months. I guess you get what you pay for, but having travels to SG for decades, this hostel was reminiscent of Bencoolen Street in its heyday. The only saving grace is likely to be the people you meet whilst staying there.

The location is totally perfect (MRT DT19 Exit E), the room is quite small but clean. We can leave our luggages there. If you come with the children that they allow to join the room, please make sure you can share the 5 feet bed. We will be stay there in the third time for sure. The mall is opposite the hotel (I cant remember name) has everything you wanna buy and superstore located on B1. The location is totally perfect (MRT DT19 Exit E), the room is quite small but clean.

Room is quite small ( doesn't look quite the same from photo shown )bed light is not working very well ( light keep bliking )the so call king bed is make up by 2 single bed !, toilet washing basin observe old stain.

To be honest it was the best hotel we stayed in. The staff was so considerate and kind. They even asked if we are celebrating any occasion and try their best to make it special . We were unsure about our next trip to Singapore but because of kind people and marina bay sands we wanna come again. The service and the staff is spectacular .

Great location with views of Marina lagoon. Many malls and shopping centers in the range of 1Km. The breakfasts offered by the hotel is fantastic and the settings of the dinning hall. The online Grab taxi App is recommended to make the visiting much easier.

The hotel’s location is very convenient, it’s about 7 minutes walk to the subway station. There is 7eleven store in 1 minute walk from the hotel. The rooms are clean. There is a swimming pool on the forth floor. The Arab district is around the corner. You can enjoy it in the morning while there are no crowds

Room is basic but clean. Location is great with many eateries nearby and for those who drives, hotel has complimentary car park which is great.

Stayed here many times and always came back here when I come to Singapore. Room is small, but since I’m staying alone, it’s perfectly fine and just the right size for me. Location is not the center of Singapore, but it’s right above the MRT stations. So many food stalls right beside the hotel. Only one stop to bugis, and only 5 stops to Orchard (with transfer at City Hall). I prefer this hotel than any hotels near city but far from MRT station. It’s clean. The staffs are helpful and friendly enough. Always my choice to stay when I visit Singapore.
