We had to stay in Singapore for some paperwork, and didn't want to overspend as we didn't know how long exactly we would need to get everything in order. The hotel is definitely not top of the line, but it is good enough given its location and price. It is an old hotel, but kept clean, and is easy to... More

We stayed at the Strand with our 6 years old daughter, in a twin room with extra bed. The room was not particularly clean, after the first night we had hundreds of tiny ants crawling on desk and table. The staff was helpful and the animals were gone by the time we returned in the evening, but there was a... More

SINGAPORE We Spent 6 nights at the Strand Hotel in Singapore, April 9th-April 15th, 2012. Recommend -- Prior to leaving home be sure to get a print out of hotel address in Chinese & directions for the taxi ride from airport and also a street map in Chinese to give to the Taxi drivers as they do not speak or...

Only stay at this hotel if you are on a tight budget and this is your absolute top priority. If you expect any quality from a hotel at all, look elsewhere because you ain't getting it here. PROS: - good location - cheap (140 SGD a night for 2 people) - free breakfast CONS: - Internet is terrible. Basically, don't... More

There's not much to say about this hotel. The thing I can say about this hotel is the location. If you never been to Singapore before, then it well be a little hard to find a decent place to eat, or a shopping mall, so you might have to ask. You might also have to take a taxi to get... More

After searching the net for some good hotels in Singapore for our 3 nights stay last February, 2012, we chose the Strand Hotel due mainly to its accessibility to almost everything (MRT stations, bus stations, Kopitiam, 7-11, Little India, Bugis area, etc.). Nothing fabulous about this hotel. Its lobby and reception area are not impressive and need upgrading. There is... More

For a rate of SGD $240 per night for 4 people inclusive of breakfast (semi buffet) and all prevailing government taxes, it is great value for money. Location is excellent since the Bras Basah MRT stop was just around the corner, and the main junction point of Dhoby Ghaut MRT was also walking distance. As there are four different MRT... More

Stayed with a group of friends for 4 nights and everyone found it spacious enough to comfortably fit in up to 5 adults. For a rate of SGD $240 per night inclusive of breakfast and all prevailing government taxes we found this to be of great value for money.

I first chose this hotel because of its location; nearby to food places, public transport & attractions are easily accessible and also for the amenities that is available. I was on a staycation, and with experience in the hotel industry, I am naturally picky over a few things (eg room size, internet services, breakfast, bath tub, etc). Ms Philina &... More

We had booked a family room with 2 queen beds for 3 nights. The room size was pretty decent for a family room. Comfortable for 4 adults. Got it for about SGD240 per night including breakfast, which is not bad at all by Singaporean standards. Location wise it is pretty good in the sense that it is close to Bras... More
