“Nothing fancy, but quiet and comfortable enough - decent value for money”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 March 2011
2
people found this review helpful

I found this place decent value for money. I spent three nights there and although the rooms are quite spartan, they are spacious and quiet enough for a good sleep. Some negatives are there are no shower curtains (and they don't have any to give you if you ask), the internet wireless connection is a bit erratic, and the acoustics of the hallway are loud if people are talking. Positives include lots of cheap and good restaurants nearby, especially Vietnamese (seems to be a bit of a KTV/Vietnamese red light district) and its easy to get a taxi. Also, I found the front desk staff friendly and responsive. It takes about 10-15 minutes from here by taxi to most places in Singapore with normal traffic, so if you're on a budget, it's a good choice.

“No going back for me”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 November 2010
5
people found this review helpful

I booked a family room for 3 girls. They do not allow us to check in early, there will be an extra charge of SGD40 for early check in. However, we were able to put our luggage in the luggage room. The hotel was far away from MRT station or bus stops. It costs SGD5 for a taxi from MRT station to the hotel. We cannot get a taxi from Paya Lebar MRT at night so we walked back to the hotel. Across the road from the hotel was a row of sleazy bars and KTVs. At night a lot of men prowling the street and although it was supposed to be better than Geylang area, we still felt uneasy being ladies walking at night. There wasn't any shower curtain so the toilet gets wet easily. The hotel staff did not bother to smile. When I wanted to check in, I was made to wait 15min although there was only 1 couple in front. Will not stay here anymore.

“convenient and nice”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 October 2010

The Fragrance hotel is quite nice and in a good location which basically fulfills all the need of a person on a holiday , and not expensive like other hotels in singapore. The rooms were clean and the bathrooms were in a very good and clean condition.
And as there are cabs available easily in that area, its very convenient for us to move around.

“For what it costs..”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 February 2010

person found this review helpful

...it's an OK place to stay. Rooms are very small, but clean. True, when you shower the water does not go down the drain but creates a pool on the floor.

Wireless internet is at additional cost, but works very well. Even better than the broadband I used at the Swisshotel Stamford.

The staff are friendly and the location is quite OK, considering that al lot of the Fragrance hotels a situated at the redlight district, and this one is not.

I don't think I could stay for longer than a week though. I know, who spends time at the hotel, except to sleep and shower, but I do, as I need to carry on working in the evening.

So, as a budget hotel you get what you pay for. Oh one thing though, the elevator makes a "ping" noise when it reaches your floor, though I'm at the other end of the floor from the elevator, I can still hear it :) heh....
