“The worst hotel in Singapore!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012
3
people found this review helpful

Arrived in the hotel at 11am, placed our bags, paid for the room and asked for twin room (since there were two females, myself and my sister).

Returned to the hotel at 8pm only to be told that there's only 1 double room left in the whole hotel. We were told that the twin room that we asked for has air conditioner problem. I asked to see the room, since both myself and sister are not penguins. The reception then said that the room was occupied. So I asked the reception if the twin room had air conditioner problem or occupied? Unfortunately I was not stupid enough to buy that lie.

The receptionist then called the operation executive of the hotel cluster who turned out to be a toad with no manner. Instead of listening to what I had to say, he went on and about telling me that his hotel was fully booked.

Enough said, I asked for a refund of payment and wanted to book into another hotel.
I was told that there's not gonna be any refund given.
In other words, I had to take whatever room that they had, and expected no refund if I didn't take the said room.

Relented we went to the room, it was a tiny room with a stained bed sheet, a tiny bathroom with a tiny sink, a toilet bowl, and a shower head between the toilet bowl and the tiny sink (I couldn't figure out how to take shower!). On top of that, the air conditioner was very noisy.
We asked for extra pillows and blankets, which didn't help.
There's no way we would stay in the hotel that we couldn't take a shower.

We decided to stay in other hotel nonetheless.
And since we couldn't get any refund, we left our bags in the room.
And our father slept in the room for a few hours, he didn't believe in wasting money away.
In the morning we took our bags and father who hadn't showered, returned the key to the reception and got the hell out of that hotel. Never again I would step a foot in that place.

“Don't expect too much ... besides access to bus”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 November 2011

people found this review helpful

... do not stay here if you dont like narrow room, narrow bathroom.
... do not stay here if you think all staff are helpful and nice (hiks we got those two types staff, a nice and helpful staff and a staff only say "sorry" which means didnt want to help us)
... do not stay if you tall because the beds in the room we stayed just like sofa.
... do not expect all rooms have windows....
but please consider for access to all "must see" visit in singapore ... because the hotel is near to bus stop and we could continue to anywhere we like in short time ... for example to sentosa island from this hotel by bus we could go there in 20 minutes ... 30 minutes to airport.

“stay somewhere else...”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 September 2011
1
person found this review helpful

the only good thing about this hotel is the location....it is conveniently located near bus stops and a hawker's area...

aside from this, as soon as you enter, the lobby is small, if several people are standing you'd better open the door and stand outside...there is only one person in their lobby, so if they can only attend to one guest at a time...

the room is shabby, paint peeling off the walls, ceiling is dirty, bed is lumpy and only one person can walk around the room, unless you want to bump into each other...

for 135sgd, better stay in the value hotel across the road...

“Functional Hotel nothing more”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 September 2011

We stayed here for 2 nights, we were after somewhere fairly cheap but not too far from the centre on the city. Good value for money, only downside is that it was a bit of a hike to the nearest MRT station Novena but we knew that before we booked so no big deal, only a $3 taxi ride from the station if available (most of the time there was a queue at the taxi rank.

Would stay here again.

“Ok if you just want to sleep, claustrophobics stay away!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 August 2011

Problem with all Fragrance Hotels, the very very ridiculously small space! It's impossible to sleep properly at night if you are with a partner and your beds are so close to each other that it could feel uncomfortable. No windows!

The toilets are just 3x3 feet big? You cant even hang your clothes in the toilet & take a shower without having water splash everything & everywhere! No floor mat.

The location is not so ideal, a few transit by train/bus away from main attractions.

But if you are looking for a decent place to crash & dont mind the tight space & location, still an acceptable option.
