Hotels Near Ang Siang Hill in Singapore

Very disappointed with my stay at The Scarlet. The worst thing was that the room did not have any windows. The staff pointed out that this was stated on the booking platform. I checked on Trip.com and indeed it is stated in fine print that “Some rooms have windows”. I think this is unacceptable for “tourist-class” hotels, unless Scarlet thinks of itself as a budget/hourly hotel like Hotel81? In tourist-class hotels, the lack of windows is an anomaly and is usually highlighted in the room category name directly, e.g. “Deluxe Queen Room (No Windows)”. The room was also very old and cramped. The TV view is partially obstructed when lying in bed. There’s also a ridiculous “skylight” that looks makeshift and resembles something that could be found in a slum? See pictures. The Scarlet is way past it’s prime and should either close for a complete rebuild or just reposition yourself as a budget hotel.

I just had a problem checking in as the self check in is not working. But the customer service is very attentive and accommodating. She guided me all the way and been a very big help. I also encountered a toilet bowl with stain, the previous user did not clean it. But the rest is clean. They do not serve food so I was given a voucher as my booking has food inclusion.

Where to start. The hostel is close to a several of exits for Chinatown MRT station. Cheap eats are everywhere in Chinatown so you will be spoilt for choice. Check out the money changers at People's Park for good exchange rates if you have cash. The junction of South Bridge Road and Upper Cross Street is within walking distance of Marina Bay, Gardens by the Bay, the Barrage, the CBD, Bugis, City Hall. There is a self service laundrette down the street which includes detergent, and is fairly cheap for a wash and tumble dry load. And if you hanker for fresh fruit, check out the produce market in the Hong Lim Complex. The nitty gritty: the hostel is cheap, but no palace. Whilst the room and corridor floors are washed everyday, the same cannot be said of the showers and toilets - the grime and mould on the walls is beyond belief; good luck anyone who doesn't wear something on their feet when using the facilities. Rooms are airless and musty, having no ventilation even if they have windows which are sealed, and have a sweaty atmosphere of their own. AirCon only lowers the temperature of the rooms, and does nothing to circulate fresh air. Mattresses have seen better days and dip in the middle where countless bodies have slept on them over time. The same can be said of the pillows. The website photos paint the hostel in a deceptively clean and bright light, unfortunately the view from the open air eating area now looks onto a very large building sight, which even by SG standards must have been underway for at least 12 to 18 months. I guess you get what you pay for, but having travels to SG for decades, this hostel was reminiscent of Bencoolen Street in its heyday. The only saving grace is likely to be the people you meet whilst staying there.

Staying at this self-check-in hotel was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. The seamless and efficient check-in process made arriving a breeze, allowing me to skip the usual lines and paperwork associated with traditional hotels. The intuitive self-service posters and staff guided me through each step, ensuring a hassle-free experience. The hotel staff were friendly, professional, and always available to assist with any queries or requests. Despite the self-check-in model, I never felt like I was lacking in personalized service. Whether it was providing local recommendations or promptly addressing any concerns, they went above and beyond to ensure my satisfaction

Not a big hotel with good size room. Near to mrt. Near the shopping belts and easy to communicate aroubd the area. Can travel to town and orchard area easily.

good service although we did not sleep well as AC broke down whole midnight and someone is fixing it on our room we stay.. sadly,, we dont sleep well. but kudos to techinician guy who is very good and managed to inform us they fixing the AC issue and after AC is fixed..

Booked 2 nights stay at Swissotel over the weekend (asked for complimentary rollaway bed) and requested for room facing MBS so that the kids can watch NDP preview fireworks. Superb view and service from Check-in, Concierge, Room Service and the hotel's location is GREAT! Food and nearby attractions are so accessible. It would be even better if there was a porter to help with our luggage at the entrance (peak period), children's waterplay or playground areas and more kids-friendly bathtub (the sides of the bathtub is abit rough).

I was celebrating my husband’s birthday at Ritz Carlton. We were amazed with the service and room assigned. The club lounge has excellent service, would specifically love to compliment, Firdaus and Moira. Both of them had made our stay an extraordinary experience. We will love to be back for more celebrations. High recommending hotel to enjoy excellent service and view!

Room is basic but clean. Location is great with many eateries nearby and for those who drives, hotel has complimentary car park which is great.

Stayed here many times and always came back here when I come to Singapore. Room is small, but since I’m staying alone, it’s perfectly fine and just the right size for me. Location is not the center of Singapore, but it’s right above the MRT stations. So many food stalls right beside the hotel. Only one stop to bugis, and only 5 stops to Orchard (with transfer at City Hall). I prefer this hotel than any hotels near city but far from MRT station. It’s clean. The staffs are helpful and friendly enough. Always my choice to stay when I visit Singapore.
