Using all the facilities, the park was convenient for a family; it was really neat and clean, and it was a great opportunity to spend a good day as a family, using all the attractions.

It's actually quite old, and accordingly, all the zones are themed after old cartoons that only kids from the 90s remember. If you buy a fast track, you can complete all the rides in three hours.

Kids enjoyed the trip. A little disappointed as Mummy ride is close. We went early, therefore, don’t have to queue for too long. My little dare devil loved Battlestar Galatica.

Rock climbing is a lot of fun; I highly recommend climbing through windows. Boating is also great, but your pants and shoes will get wet.

Nice way to get a bit of a discount on the ice creams. Of course it’s expensive as it’s a gimmick but it was well worth it for the experience. Surprisingly tasty

Best Time to Visit Universal Studios Singapore

Universal Studios Singapore

The ideal visiting window for USS depends on weather conditions, crowd density, seasonal events, and holiday schedules. For Canadian tourists unfamiliar with Singapore’s tropical climate, these tailored tips will help you plan a smooth, enjoyable visit:

Weather & Climate Guide

Singapore features a year-round tropical rainforest climate with consistent warmth and high humidity. For more comfortable outdoor exploration and shorter wait times in queue lines, plan your trip between November and January, when temperatures are slightly milder and this is the monsoon season, so expect frequent rain and pack a poncho.

Crowd Avoidance Strategy

To skip massive crowds and long ride queues, visit on weekdays during non-school holiday periods. Singapore’s peak school breaks fall in March, June, September, and December — these periods bring far higher local and tourist foot traffic. Arriving right at park opening (rope drop) is the best tactic to experience top thrill rides with minimal waits.

Seasonal Special Events

USS hosts world-famous annual seasonal events, including the iconic Halloween Horror Nights (fall season) and festive Christmas holiday celebrations (December). While these events attract larger crowds, they offer exclusive themed shows, limited-time attractions, and unique photo opportunities unavailable on regular park days.

Peak Holiday Warnings

Check Singapore’s public holiday calendar before booking. National public holidays trigger sharp spikes in local visitor numbers, leading to longer queues and busier park conditions.

Packed with thrilling rides, immersive movie-themed zones, and limited-time seasonal events like the Minions & Monsters Summer celebration, Universal Studios Singapore is a standout highlight of any Canadian traveller’s Singapore itinerary. With updated budget-friendly pre-booked ticket rates, reliable island transit options, and practical crowd-avoidance tips, you can plan a seamless, fun, and cost-effective park adventure. Book your verified discounted tickets early to lock in the best rates and maximize your day at Singapore’s top movie-themed theme park.

The pictures online were a bit misleading. When I booked for 3 people with 3 breakfasts, it showed a king-size bed with a sofa bed, but upon arrival, there was only one king-size bed. It was quite a squeeze for three of us. When we tried to communicate with the hotel, there was a Chinese-speaking woman who refused to speak Chinese, which was frustrating. We had to contact Trip.com customer service, who said there were no other rooms available. We then tried to communicate with the hotel again to ask for a sofa bed. The hotel said they would charge for it, and it worked out to be over 500 RMB per day, which for 6 days felt unreasonable. In the end, we reluctantly squeezed into one bed. Although we managed to sleep, it wasn't comfortable, and the bed was extremely soft, leaving us feeling tired. The hotel facilities are relatively new, and the room is quite large, especially the bathroom. The shower pressure was excellent, but the water flow from the sink was a bit weak – a suggestion for improvement. The hotel is about a 7-minute walk from MRT Exit 4, but getting into the station itself takes another 7 minutes or so. We used the subway for all our outings, and it was quite convenient. The hotel breakfast wasn't extensive, but it was enough to fill up on if you took your time. The omelets were delicious and made fresh. Fruits and vegetables are very expensive in Singapore supermarkets, so we tried to make the most of breakfast at the hotel, where we could enjoy plenty of fruits, vegetables, and salads. Of course, if you want to eat out, it's also very convenient. There's a Great Wall shopping mall about a 10-minute walk away with many dining options. The hotel is right next to the Singapore River. You can walk through the hotel to get to the river and then stroll along it in the evening towards Merlion Park. Along the way, you'll pass two popular Jumbo Seafood restaurants, which are delicious but quite expensive and always packed with people. There are also many other dining establishments along the way, and the night view is beautiful. Hotel prices fluctuate a lot, so keep a close eye on them, even if you've locked in a rate, it can change. It takes about 1.5 hours to get to Changi Airport by MRT. Overall, it's a decent hotel. There are a lot of foreigners staying here, and I saw many adorable foreign children. If you're looking for a spacious, modernly decorated hotel, this could be a good choice.

My stay at Marina Bay Sands Singapore was absolutely fantastic and I highly recommend it! The hotel's location is excellent, directly connected to a mall, and within walking distance of famous attractions like Gardens by the Bay and Merlion Park, making getting around incredibly convenient. Check-in was efficient, and the staff were warm and professional, providing attentive service throughout, truly reflecting a five-star hotel experience. The room was spacious and comfortable, with a modern design and immaculate cleanliness. The bed was soft, and the soundproofing was excellent, ensuring a wonderfully comfortable night's sleep. What truly impressed me most was the room's view – whether it was the city skyline or the Marina Bay night view, both were absolutely stunning. The hotel's infinity pool definitely lives up to its reputation; the views are unforgettable and it's an absolute must-visit spot when in Singapore. The breakfast spread was extensive, with a great variety of both Western and Asian options, all of which tasted delicious. Overall, everything from the environment and facilities to the service was impeccable. It was a very enjoyable and memorable stay. If I ever visit Singapore again, I will definitely choose this hotel, and I'll be recommending it to all my friends and family!

I was quite anxious before my trip, worried about bad service or a poor room. However, as soon as I entered the lobby, someone immediately came to help with my luggage without any differential treatment, which instantly put me at ease. I had booked two months in advance, and at check-in, the front desk even specifically mentioned the requests I made in my booking email and assigned the room accordingly – truly excellent! The room was very clean and spacious; even with two 26-inch suitcases open, there was still plenty of room. The bedding didn't feel damp or anything, and I slept very comfortably until morning. The hotel's location is excellent; you can walk to several popular attractions nearby. Downstairs, there are plenty of dining options, and the metro and bus lines are also very convenient. I've already recommended it to friends, and if I visit Singapore again, I'll definitely choose this hotel.

The location is superb, right opposite the Old Hill Street Police Station and next to Fort Canning Park. It's within walking distance to the Merlion and the core Marina Bay area. It's also near the D exit of City Hall MRT station, and right next to Funan Mall, making transport and dining very convenient. The hotel breakfast was plentiful, and it has two pools, though unfortunately, we didn't have time to use them. The only minor issue was that the connecting room had slightly poor soundproofing, but it didn't affect our travel mood. We booked a twin room, and even with an extra bed, it was still very spacious. The in-room coffee machine was also excellent. Overall, it's a hotel with great value for money, and check-in was quick. The view from the room is pictured below.

Studio M Hotel Singapore

8/10Very Good1027 Reviews
Singapore River Singapore|1.77km from city centre
My stay at Studio M Hotel Singapore was a mixed experience that balanced comfort with a frustrating service encounter. On the positive side, the rooms are thoughtfully designed and stand out from typical city hotels. The loft-style layout gives a sense of space that feels both modern and functional, especially for a short stay. The bed was comfortable, the room was clean, and the overall aesthetic had a sleek, contemporary vibe that makes it appealing for both business and leisure travelers. The location is also a strong advantage. Situated along the Singapore River, it offers easy access to dining spots and is within reasonable distance of key areas like Clarke Quay. It’s convenient enough without being right in the middle of the noise, which I appreciated. However, the experience was let down by the lack of flexibility from the front desk staff. During check-in, I did not have my IC or passport on hand, and while I understand the need for verification, the handling of the situation felt unnecessarily rigid. There was little effort to explore alternative solutions or offer reassurance, which made the process more stressful than it needed to be. In a hospitality setting, a bit of understanding and problem-solving goes a long way, and this was noticeably lacking. That said, once past the check-in issue, the rest of the stay was relatively smooth. The facilities were decent, and housekeeping maintained a good standard throughout. Overall, Studio M delivers well on comfort, design, and location, but the service experience—particularly at the front desk—could benefit from a more guest-centric approach. It’s a great place to stay if everything goes according to plan, but if you run into any hiccups, be prepared for a by-the-book response rather than a flexible one.

The hotel is great. The elevators are quite large and fast, so you never have to wait long. The rooms are cleaned thoroughly and promptly. The bed in the room is big and has just the right firmness. There's plenty of space in the room, easily enough for 6-7 large suitcases. Within about a 10-minute walk, you can reach a large shopping mall, or a 5-minute walk will get you to a food court where you can grab breakfast. The hotel is very close to both bus and metro stations, and it only takes about 20 minutes to get to the city center, making its location very convenient. The front desk service is also excellent. The hotel has a pool and a gym, so the facilities are good.

Facilities: All essential amenities are provided, including disposable toiletries, towels, bath towels, a hairdryer, and even a mini-fridge and an iron (though I didn't use it). The second floor offers a private space with power outlets and a desk. It's compact but sufficient; a 20-inch suitcase can be laid out on the desk, and downstairs, two 24-inch suitcases can easily be opened simultaneously. The bathroom has drinkable tap water. Cleanliness: Very clean, no insects or anything of the sort. Environment: I'm really satisfied. The hallway is very quiet, and the soundproofing is excellent; you can't hear any noise during resting hours. The air conditioning is powerful. Service: The room includes complimentary snacks, tea bags, and coffee, but beverages are extra. Every morning when I left, I’d encounter the housekeeping staff, with whom I could communicate using simple English. The front desk service is great, and they offer free luggage storage. Security is also excellent; you need to use your room key card to access your designated floor. From 3 PM to 6 PM, there's complimentary ice cream. Although breakfast isn't included, there are breakfast spots on the first floor and downstairs at the hotel opposite the All Seasons building, as well as in the mall across from the Dhoby Ghaut MRT station. Transportation is also very convenient! The MRT and bus stops are incredibly close, and Dhoby Ghaut is an interchange for three MRT lines. Bus 36, which goes directly to the airport, is also nearby (just make sure you're going in the right direction). One more important thing! Fort Canning Park is nearby, and the famous 'tree tunnel' photo spot is right downstairs from the All Seasons building! It's very easy to find, so if you arrive early, you can go take your photos right away. All in all, my trip to Singapore was made even better because of this hotel.☺️

The location is excellent, where nearby the beach and the shuttle bus with easy access to play all around the Sentosa. Both the working staff and the management are warm-hearted and helpful. Especially Antony, one Indian working staff, gave us quite good dining suggestion. The design concept is natural, green, original and sustainable. Hotel room is spacious and part of their staff are persons with disabilities. The hotel create the working opportunity for those kind of special persons and make contribution to the society. We like this hotel and would love to come back again!

Right next to Wild Wild Wet, my kids, who weren't very enthusiastic at first, became super excited once they saw the facilities. Being able to get to the ocean quickly and encountering wildlife we don't usually see was also a plus. We had trouble because there was no tissue or drinking water (though you can buy it at the shop), and while there's nothing that can be done about it, I was surprised by how ants appeared out of nowhere. I don't think we left any ant-attracting food out, but perhaps something happened. Despite these minor issues, the location was excellent, and the room was clean. I think this is a great hotel for families with small children.

Facilities: The room was very small, not big enough to open two suitcases, but it did have a mini-fridge, kettle, and hairdryer. There was a microwave on each floor in the hallway, and you could get drinking water in the lobby on the first floor. Cleanliness: I stayed for two days, and there was no housekeeping service. It seems they only clean every three days. The bathroom trash can was especially small and overflowed after two days. Environment: The room was very damp, and there was a strong musty smell every time I entered. I had to turn on the air conditioning to air it out. Service: The taxi dropped us off directly on the second floor of the hotel. Self check-in was a bit confusing and there was no guidance to go to the first floor for assistance. As a result, our two rooms weren't even on the same floor. I'd recommend going directly to the front desk on the first floor for check-in; they speak basic Chinese. The room truly was super small. The hotel facilities are comparable to a budget hotel in China. They don't provide bottled water or disposable slippers. Singapore prices are definitely high; you could get a much better place in Kuala Lumpur for half the price. The hotel's location is excellent, very convenient for the subway and taxis. There are many eateries nearby. Ya Kun Kaya Toast had a long queue in the morning but was less busy in the afternoon. The Wok Hey chili pan mee next door was pretty good and suitable for Chinese palates. There's a small bar on the first floor with live music at night, creating a nice atmosphere. Overall, it's suitable for young travelers but not ideal for those traveling with children or the elderly.

The room was relatively spacious, which I really liked. The bathroom even had a bathtub, and we had a view of a church from the window. It's in a quiet location. The service was quite good, and they offered luggage storage. If you exit the hotel and turn left, you'll find the Esplanade MRT station (Exit A) on the Circle Line. There's a laundry room on the 4th floor; washing and drying costs 10 SGD, and you can get coins at the front desk on the ground floor. I didn't get to check out the pool. If you haven't booked breakfast, there are shops across from the hotel where you can grab a bite.

Very clean! Staff cleaned the room every day thoroughly and to a high standard. The air conditioning was cold, so I slept comfortably. The water pressure was strong. There are many restaurants nearby and transportation is super convenient. The bathroom has a bidet spray. We each got a toothbrush and a large towel. The universal plugs worked directly without needing an adapter. There's a water dispenser with hot water, a comfortable table and chairs, and a hairdryer.

Robertson Quay Hotel

Singapore River Singapore|1.59km from city centre
Overall, the room was quite small and the facilities were a bit old. The bedding was clean, no bugs or anything. However, it wasn't a duvet but more like a blanket made of a large bath towel material. Let's just say it kept me from getting cold while sleeping. The air conditioner was clunking loudly at first, but miraculously, it quieted down after I adjusted the settings – I guess I got lucky. My child left the travel adapter in the room. Several hours later, I went to the front desk, and despite my broken English, the lovely front desk staff found it for me. A quick registration and it was all sorted. The overall service was quite warm and welcoming. Staying one night was acceptable. Oh, and by the way, there's no wet/dry separation in the bathroom. If that's important to you, make sure to check before booking. Many hotels in Singapore don't have wet/dry separation, likely due to space constraints. It's within walking distance of Clarke Quay, which I recommend visiting at night – it's very close. It's also not far from the MRT station. If you're up for a walk, you can even stroll to Fort Canning Park.

Absolutely fantastic, and very affordable! Overall, it's a great value, and I highly recommend it. My stay far exceeded expectations; I was very satisfied with everything. The location is excellent, close to transportation hubs, making taxis and public transport super convenient. The room was spacious and tidy, with meticulous cleaning details. The bathroom had a separate wet and dry area, and the toiletries were well-stocked. The bed was just the right firmness, and the soundproofing was good, so it was quiet at night, ensuring a high-quality rest. The front desk service was patient and efficient, responding promptly to any requests. The entire environment was clean and comfortable. It's suitable for both short layovers and longer stays, definitely worth recommending to everyone.

Bugis Singapore|2.46km from city centre
It's comparable to a 3-400 yuan hotel in China. There are quite a few Indians, and the scent is something they'd likely enjoy. It seems there's an Indian temple or area right across the street. The location near Kallang Bay is quite convenient for transportation, and it's relatively close to the Merlion. The breakfast was delicious, just like in the pictures.

My recent stay at Parkroyal Collection Marina Bay, Singapore, was a very pleasant experience overall. The hotel's design is quite distinctive, and its greenery and architectural style are impressive, creating a comfortable and resort-like atmosphere.

The staff were friendly and professional, and the entire check-in process was smooth.

Swissotel The Stamford Singapore

Marina Bay Singapore|1.49km from city centre
1. It's important to clarify that the Marina Bay room type faces south, and Marina Bay Sands is located to the east of the hotel. 2. The hotel lobby is usually crowded because it's connected to a mall, making it very convenient to buy food and other necessities. 3. There are separate elevator zones for high-rise and low-rise floors. The pool is shared with the Fairmont and is located on the eighth floor. 4. It's very convenient to walk around and explore the surroundings. The high-floor views are worth experiencing. Facilities: Well-maintained, but there are three things to note: First, to shower, you have to step into the bathtub. Second, there's a small tile outside the bathroom that's very slippery, so be careful. Third, the hairdryer outlet is outside the bathroom, so you have to dry your hair there. The hotel also provides a charging adapter. Cleanliness: Good, with attention to detail. Environment: Both the views from the hotel and the interior are impressive. Service: Quick response time; pressing a button in the room immediately gets a response.

Marina Bay Singapore|1.61km from city centre
The marina view from the room was absolutely the best part! I really appreciated being given a room with a great view, just as I requested. I also really liked the in-room drink service and the fact that we could use Studio 26. As someone who isn't great at English, being able to communicate requests and ask questions via chat was a great service. However, I did feel that the amenities were fewer than what you'd typically find in a 5-star hotel. Also, as mentioned in other reviews (though I quickly got used to it), there was a noticeable musty smell. Overall, it's a hotel I would definitely want to stay at again!

Staying at PARKROYAL COLLECTION Pickering for this trip to Singapore far exceeded my expectations! The building, like an urban oasis, is incredibly distinctive with lush greenery all around, offering a sense of tranquility amidst the bustling city. The location is superb, within walking distance to Chinatown and Clarke Quay, and incredibly convenient for subway travel. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained; the rooftop infinity pool had an amazing vibe. All staff members were polite, thoughtful, and promptly responsive. The food was exquisite and delicious. Whether for leisure sightseeing or urban exploration, this is an incredibly worthwhile hotel choice in Singapore. I will definitely prioritize staying here again on my next visit to Singapore. Highly recommended!
