Chinatown hotels & places to stay

Room was big enough for walking, distance between capsule better than other hotel capsule bed. Mix room (man and woman) but safe. Room with automatic light control, if somebody walk it will light. Bed was big enough, supplied with 2 standardpillow and 1 small pillow, towel and white linen. Free standard breakfast like bread and jam, milk, eggs, hot and cold water. Bed is in same room with bathroom with hot water, and several sink for brushing teeth/wash hands. Single and double capsule ready. Sometime noise in the night when some people walk and talk. even a couple do ML early in the morning in the closed door capsule. Futuristic capsule. Nice experience. Near chinatown and bus stop, train station. Many restaurant nearby. Safe neighbour for children. Not so crowded and quiet environment. A drink machine supplied outside hotel so we can buy some cold can/bottled drink and sit in some high chair in front of the hotel. Big enough safety box for our cabin luggage. Capsule with door can open and close with keycard. So its safe if we keep inside or keep big luggage when we go out. Nice friendly staff. 10 dollar for deposit, can easily take when we check out. So its nice to try new experience stay at this hotel and safe some money to spend / shopping hehehe than stay in star hotel.

It is few walks away from MRT Chinatown station. The place is secured, the staff are friendly and accommodating. Use of WiFi is in the entire place compared to other hostels where you can only use it in the room. It is in the heart of Chinatown so you have the best location. I will definitely recommend to all who wants a place to rest after long day of shopping or touring the city. Bring 3-pronged adaptor if you need to charge your gadgets, they sell it for $2 which should be built in the socket.

It was my first time travel with my parents, everything was good. The hotel staff already prepare my room when i arrived late at hotel. I got the hotel’s door code before i arrived, and got my name in front of the room. The room was big enough for 4 and our baggage, and still have common space for us. Shower room and toilet in the level 2 were separated, toilet in the different building, but it’s OK for us. All shower room and toilet were clean enough. The location was perfect. Very near to chinatown food street, and MRT. Breakfast was good enough. Drinking water is available in this hostel also. Very recommended.

Beary Best Hostel automatically earns rave points for being right in front of Chinatown Station Exit F. Beary good points: 1. Location - very near Chinatown Station Exit F, near the Chinatown center (temples, bazaars/markets and hawker stalls like the Maxwell Food Centre) and there are convenience stores and a McDonalds nearby. Chinatown is an ideal place to stay as a tourist because of its central location. The Downtown (blue) and North East (purple) MRT lines are indispensable courses in traversing through major destinations and interchanges. 2. Breakfast - the hostel's basic breakfast is enough to pump up your day to walk/commute about. There's free-flowing milk, coffee, tea, bread with jam & peanut butter and cereals. Water in Singapore is potable but if you still prefer bottled water, they sell it at SGD0.80 (really cheaper than stores and stalls outside). 3. Very good wifi connection - I've stayed in another hostel chain that doesn't offer free wifi so I really appreciate this :) 4. Cute, colorful and friendly vibe 5. Comfortable bed Beary Minus Points: 1. Our room's bathroom had a slightly funky, moldy smell. 2. Requirement to take off shoes at the lobby. Maybe it's just me not liking cold floors touching my feet. I opted to wear socks throughout my stay :) I'd love to stay here again! :)

My mother was the traveler and i had chosen Fernloft for her stay because of it's affordable price, close to Chinatown and a SUPERB service they did to my mother. I was kinda hesitant at the beginning because of the set up but i was blown away by the staff how they treated my mom like their own family. I would definiteley recommend this for my relatives and friends and to everyone!!!

iStay Inn was an amazing experience. At first when looking at the pictures, I was unsure, because of the artwork on the wall. But once I got there, it had a very quint feeling to it, just felt like staying at a friend's place. Don't be fooled by the 'urban art', this was just a theme to the hostel and the rooms were white and clean. The staff was amazing and very friendly, I ended up becoming friends with the owner of the hostel. She's an amazing person and always there to help. Makes an effort to make sure you have a good stay at the hostel. The people I met at the hostel were great also, they were very respectful of the after 11pm quiet time. At night, you can just sit outside (like a balcony), and just chat with other travellers. It was pretty cool. The room itself was very clean and air-conditioned. It was sufficient room for me (solo) and it had lockers, bed lamp and outlet plug for each bed. I stayed in a room with no windows which I liked because it was quiet, but even the windowed rooms were pretty quiet (the hostel was away from all the bars). Location, you can't beat this location, it's at the prime area in Chinatown, and you're walking distance from Club st. (The street with bars and restaurants). Even though, you're one street off Club st., I couldn't hear any noise from that street. And you definitely couldn't hear any noise from Chinatown. Facilities, the washroom was very clean and the showers were fine. Don't expect it to be luxurious, it just has the basics soap / shampoo. For breakfast, there was free fruit and bread which you can use to toast, and some peanut butter and jam. Nothing fancy, it was sufficient. I think for what you pay for, it's a great deal. My criteria's for choosing a hostel was that it was clean, quiet and location, and iStay Inn satisfied all 3. Thanks for making my experience in Singapore memorable. If I plan to come back, I'll definitely stay at iStay Inn again!

Arrived at 7am to check in. Was so tired, I was crossing my fingers that the check in will not take long. And it was real quick. thank god. Crash on the bed and slept all the way through the afternoon until its time to get up to head out for Zoukout. Stayed here for 4 days and it was great. If you are afraid that you need to walk awhile to ind food. No worries. Its just a stone throw away (well... you dont even need to throw the stone. Just drop it). But if you're a light sleeper, you might not like this place. The hawker food downstairs is quite noisy. I didnt sleep much. I came back from Zoukout at 6am and only slept up to 10am due to the noise. Bathrooms are quite limited. Theres only 2 rooms (unisex) for our dorm to share. And it was a full house that week. So prepare to wait. Or beat everyone else to it. Showers were quite small though... but its a B&B and its in Chinatown. I guess thats given. Beds were really comfortable. and clean. But thats all to it. Nothing else to brag about. Just good enough for a good rest and catch up on Zs. Location is super great. If this is your first time in Singapore, this is the best area to stay. Then explore around this area. People's Park Complex (where all the cheap hawker stalls are) is just a few minutes walk away. Train station is just around the corner as well. Theres a Chinese Museum just 5 minutes walk away (if you're into that sort of thing) and its FREE.

The title itself sums it all. Strategically located in the hub of Chinatown, minutes away from the MRT station connected to most of the hot-spots in the city. It is by far one of the easiest accessible inn available in Chinatown. Despite a "technical glitch" causing a misunderstanding, I'll have to send my praises and compliments to the Supervisor on duty for tactfully managing the situation; kudos to your excellent customer service, Monet and Tetrina (if I spell your name correctly?!)! Aside from all the necessities adequately provided, the inn gives a comfortable and peaceful feeling all day long. Best for a runner to be at ease before heading off for a race, and to rest, after that. I didn't have much time for breakfast, though. But I'll be back, that's for sure. It's certainly one of the better choices around for an economical lodge in Singapore!

David is the men who work here,he is so nice and he give a really good service he is just perfect with the customer and help you! You can ask him what you can do and where.... Also the place is in Chinatown so it's good and close to the marina bay sand and a lot of activity you can do!! If i go back to Singapore for sure i go back in this hostel to sleep and see David!! I have a great time in this place

Staff was incredibly helpful in catering to my luggage. Also was understanding when another guest took my towel to get the deposit back and gave my full deposit back without being able to produce the towel at check out. Appreciated the female only dorm was limited to 6 as the previous hostel stay had bad logistics with 10 pods. The lockers within the pod helped if given the top bunk. Extremely grateful that the water refill station served chilled water even though it was located on a seperate floor. Would definitely stay at Coo again compared to the chinatown hostels. The only con was the location is not as convenient as the closest MRT station isnt an interchange like chinatown and it can take up to 10 mins to walk to. Plenty of buses out of the area but the initial wait in the heat is a negative.

Clean, comfortable definitely worth it. I've stayed in a 10- pod room and shared it with people from China, Spain and Japan, luckily they were all very considered. The key card that opens your room, locks and unlocks the compartment underneath your pod to store your belongings. Request a towel a the reception for only S$ 2 and they will also give complimentary soap and shampoo. There are around 6 to 7 shower stalls in the bathroom and there is a cleaning clerk constantly cleaning all the public areas. Help yourself during breakfast. It is obviously not a 5 star hotel spread but it is definitely a lot more than most hostels would provide; toast breads, jam, butter, peanut butter, cereal, milk, two types of fruit juices, coffee, tea and two types of fruits. Coffee and tea is available round the clock. There are laundry facilities and working stations spread across the place. For those hooked on their gadgets, there is wifi all over, and they also have net books . The Hostel is located just a block from the MRT Chinatown station and there are plenty of shopping areas and malls nearby. For the night owls, Clark Quay is within walking distance or just one subway stop. Again absolutely worth it.

ROOM: the room is nice.. i'm 184cm tall, and i can still sit upright on my bed.. if i lay on my bed, there's still around 20cm spaces left.. enough for you to put your bag, toileteries, etc.. for a person weighted around 230 pounds, the upper capsule is fine.. you don't have to worry about your weight.. the ladder to climb into the upper capsule is steady.. and surprisingly, others who occupy other capsules in my room are so considerate with the noise, with the exception of snore.. Bathroom: Well, coming from an Asia country, i don't find any problems with the wet toilet since it's common for us.. and for those who have problem with it, just adapt with the situation.. if you like something nice like in your home bathroom, just stay in your house.. learn to multitask, use the toilet when you do-the-unmentionable-things while you're washing your body.. there's a hairdryer, a electrical socket if you need to use it for your shaver.. service: this is the best part of this hotel.. Desmond was very helpful.. He gave me lot of recommendations for me to get my prefered meals, and where to buy cheap snacks.. their sandwiches (1st day tuna sandwich & kaya sandwich, 2nd day ham+tomatoes sandwich & kaya sandwich) + cereals + fruits + coffee are more than enough to last until lunch.. HOW TO GET HERE: in Chinatown MRT: take exit A, and when you're out from the station, go to main street behind you, turn right, walk straight, and you will see the "mosque street" sign, turn right.. walk straight until you can see the logo of Jang Myon Korean Restaurant, the hotel is located on the right side of the road, diagonally across the korean restaurant. the chinese food around here, you can find on chinatown complex, 2nd floor.. there are around 200 stalls there.. pick what you want.. or you can find it on maxwell food centre. this is the location of the famous Tian Tian Hainan Chicken Rice.. sure i will back here again when i visit Singapore alone!

Well...my stay at Hotel 81 Cosy was great. I love staying there. Such a clean hotel. Room is not so small...it is fine for 2 person. Good airconditioning. Very good shower water pressure for room 202. Very comfy mattress and pillow. Clean and big toilet. Tv not so good because dont have engglish movie channel. Friendly staff. Convenient hair dryer and coffee maker. Just walking distance to pubs...restaurants...7eleven...shops...clean area...close to Chinatown... I love to stay in Hotel 81 Cosy. Will definitely come again.

Pros: - Hotel location is very accessible, Chinatown MRT is just a few steps, street food hawkers & souvenir stalls are just around the corners. Money changer, 7-eleven, & McDo are also visible in the area. It's a full-package place for all your needs. - Rooms are very clean, beds are big enough, well ventilated. - With excellent water supply (with hot & cold shower). - Staff are very accommodating & friendly. - Place is very peaceful & secure. - We definitely love this place & we'll be back here again. Cons: - No bus is noted directly on the way to Changi International Airport. The fastest way is thru Chinatown MRT which is very convenient to ride. Just one tap of your EZ Link card & you're ready to go. Singapore really have a great transport system.

This hostel contains two building which 2 or 3 buildings apart. The check in time is on 3pm, I got there about 1pm, and the staff proceed that I could check in early. I just gave my name, and no need to show anything in the check in process (love it!). She gave me room card with the room name and number on it, and told about the breakfast on the day later, and the complimentary drinks all-day, which are coffee and some selection of teas, and the ice lemon water dispenser. I saw some belongings beside the stairs, and I thought it was the other guest's belongings which put it there before check in or after check out (for free), it is a generous thing too, not many hotels offers that kind of service. The lobby is unique, it's vintage theme for me, classic, no cheap at all! With many sofas, tables, books, newspapers, and tv. You'd enjoyed your breakfast in this lobby on 8 till 11am (I got one on 9am), which are pancakes with chocolate sauce, sugar, honey, scrambled eggs, sliced cheese, fruits (papaya and watermelon), orange juice, tea & coffee, you serve yourself! It near Chinatown MRT Station (which is a intersection between two MRT routes), take a way-out to the Mosque Street, after a cheap market section (which contains many cheap items for sale, kinda similar with Bugis Street, and food places which open till midnight), you just have to cross the street, and go right, there's the Adler. It nears a mall called Chinatown Point (FYI, in front of this mall, there's the MRT station's entrance too). I got there on Thursday, so it was not "full-house". All of my pre-requests were granted. I picked the female only room (the same building, 2nd floor fortunately, the capacity is about 20 bed, two layers (top n below), I chose the low one for easy access, but private too, because the bed curtain is the thick one (like normal window curtain), so you can't see outside if it's closed, and vice versa. Might be the worry is just if we got the 3rd or more level, and our belonging

Yes the room is small, but they put everything you need in that tiny room. There is a toiletries set provided to you daily, hair dryer, water boiler, LCD TV, locker, hangers and distilled water. The toilet is actually larger than I expected. The best thing about this hotel is its perfect location. Only 3 minutes walk from the MRT station. There are many shops and restaurants just downstairs. The famous Chinatown Yakun and Spizza are 10 minutes walk from the hotel. The corridors and rooms are a bit dark but for me it is acceptable. It is a little noise coming from the construction site near by. Yet, my Singaporean friend said this hotel is relatively expensive for a hotel in Chinatown.

I booked this hotel without read all the reviews by others traveller. The room i stay was family room with queen bed double decker equipped with toilet and shower, mineral waters, coffee/tea. We are allowed to leave our bag in the hotel after check out. The hotel is in renovation but the floor and room we get is beyond expectation. Thanks mr. Nizam and yes chinatown hotel for your assistance.

I stayed here 4 nights and generally it's a good choice. If you want to book a good hotel in chinatown but the room rate is high there then you can check Habour Ville. It's not near the MRT but there is a bus stop nearby which can take you to the MRT in 3-5 minutes, so convenient. The facilities are good, the furniture is new and in a good condition. The staffs are good and helpful, nothing to complain except the 3rd night I found that my bed sheet got blood stains. I was so sleepy to talk to them so I just stayed away from it and slept.

We stayed there twice as a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 young kids) in the triple rooms and they were just ideal for that. they are spacious, the beds are large and the rooms are clean and modern. the second time, we even got the one in the 5th floor with balcony, which was a pleasant bonus. the staff is great, they offer storage space for bags and the Tiong Bahru Market with dozens of local food stalls (~4SGD/meal) is just around the corner. while the location in Singapore is great (close to Chinatown), it's a bit (~800m/10min walk) away to the next MRT (Tiong Bahru or Outram Park). But there might be a bus.

I booked rooftop room with terrace. Always small rooms in Singapore but this was pretty big. Nicely decorated and clean. Great having a bit of outdoor space on the roof terrace - table and chairs plus clawfoot bath if you wanted to soak/cool down after a hard days sightseeing. Air con worked a treat - always a bonus in Singapores heat. Great location, super close to Outram Park MRT and a little bit further from Chinatown MRT. Nice street of hotels and bars/restaurants. Not too noisy. Close to Chinatown for sightseeing/food. Really enjoyed my stay. If you want standard big chain hotel facilities then probs not for you but if you like a bit funky/different, then its the go. Breakfast pretty average - only downside but I wasn't too fussed about that. Overall, I would recommend

Located in the heart of Chinatown on Smith Street. 2 min walk to the nearest MRT station. Coming to the pods - They’re really clean, cool, equipped with power points, Multiple USB ports, Switch for lighting etc. Place does have wifi however the speed isn’t that great. Breakfast was included in my package however it’s just toast and butter + jam (Does have Kaya Jam) with tea or coffee that you can have. If you’re paying extra for a with Breakfast package better to avoid it. Water is available 24 hours free of cost. Staff is really helpful and you can get knowledge about all the attractions nearby. There isn’t any staff after 10.00 PM - So if you’re arriving before that better email them. You can enter - exit - 24 hours. It has shared washroom. Toiletries are provided - Soap & Shampoo. You need to carry your own brush and paste that isn’t included. It has 2 shower rooms & 2 Toilets - Well Maintained and clean. You get a locker to keep your luggage - It can fit a cabin sized bag

As visiting Singapore General Hospital every day this was very good location being around 10 minutes walk away. That apart the location is still very good as Outram park and Chinatown mrt stations only 5 minutes walk away. There are plenty of bars and restaurants on the doorstep and even a 7/11 50 meters away. The heart of Chinatown is also only a few minutes walk. People often complain about room size at this type of hotel of which there a few in the area. Staying on my own and paying a little more for a DL Queen I found the room ample and would have been OK for two. Room had fridge, tea coffee making facilities, excellent free wifi and TV though if you watch TV in your room then this was a downside as only 2 watchable English channels, CNBC which is just US business news and an HBO film channel. The free breakfast is simple but was OK for me. If you are expecting 4/5 star facilities and room they you are looking at the wrong place and in Singapore expect to pay substantially more.

I love the design of the hotel, its so chic! Bed's comfy, we stayed at a room with balcony, best decision ever! You get to view chinatown from the top. The reception are very friendly and helpful too, upon checking in they were very polite and patient in explaining the rules and regulations of the hotel, and answer to all our questions attentively! Very strategic location too, very near to the train station as well as easy access to finding food. Also there's a bar below our hotel room, and there's live band too, but the band doesn't play until midnight so rest assured the we get very nice and quiet night rest. Even the chinatown market closed when its near midnight. But in my opinion even if the band or the market continues after midnight i still wouldn't mind though :) seriously great hotel! Would love to stay at this hotel again for my next visit!

The hostel was pretty easy to locate as it was only about 3 minutes away from the Chinatown MRT. It is also located nearby the must sees in Chinatown and there is even a food court nearby though I'd suggest walking to Maxwell Hawker Center for cheap eats. Though this is a hostel, it has hotel standards in terms of cleanliness and facilities. The washrooms were always clean, there were shoe lockers outside the room and luggage lockers under your capsule. You're given a key card to enter your room and open your locker so security wasn't an issue. The capsules itself were very comfortable, though it would've been better if you could control the temperature in your capsule. The curtains provided good privacy. There's free breakfast and they have cheap beers for guests. The staff were really friendly and accommodating, answering any questions you might have. Though as a solo traveller, I found it hard to meet other people as no one really hung out in the common areas that much. Overall, excellent staff, good location, and clean and secure facilities. It felt like I was staying at a hotel. I would highly recommend this place for people to stay at. Even though it's on the pricier side compared to other hostels, it's definitely worth paying for.

I've stayed in a few hotels in Chinatown and this was my first time at Bliss Hotel and certainly won't be my last. The bed and pillow are super comfortable, they include a smartphone for you to use with free data and free international calls! The location is superb as it is located right across the street from the MRT station and Chinatown Point, a mall with a very good selection of restaurants and shopping. Right next door is a Cheers and around the corner is a 7-eleven. The hotel is also in between two McDonalds in case you arrive late and need to grad a bite to eat. One of the McD is 24 hours. Everything was very clean, and the staff was very courteous. I would definitely stay here again!

Excellent. I have stayed at the best 5 star hotels in Singapore on Orchard Road but got tired of paying $250 per night. The Southbridge is very cheap by comparison but much better. It is in a beautifully converted old shophouse, but done up internally in a stylish and modern way, everything new and clean. Only a few months open so new beds, new bedding, new bathroom fittings, flat screen TV, free wifi, etc. Very friendly staff. Very secure. Need a key to use the elevator both up and down, and an electronic room safe for passport, etc. There is a nice bar with boutique beers at street level. It is 1 min walk to Chinatown MRT and so one can easily travel the whole island from there. It is also 1 min to the famous Chinatown restaurants and bars not to mention an Islamic Mosque, a Hindu Temple and a Bhuddist temple. Surprisingly, it is also very quiet, the windows seem to be double glazed so very little noise. There is also a 24/7 self service laundry only 5 mins walk away in Sago Lane. I would recommend this hotel to anyone and will stay there again. I was in a single room, there alone, on business, so I don't know what the rooms for couples and families are like. But I would be surprised if they were not as good as my room. If I had one complaint it is that they need cable TV. The TV has about 8 channels but about 6 of them dedicated to sport. I find sport boring and so had very little to watch when I wanted to chill out at the end of a night of Chinatown dining.
