Hotels Near Dakota Cres in Singapore

For Singapore, offered great value for money for a simple but clean hotel. Yes, the location is regarded as the red-light district, but we had no issues as the neighbourhood was quiet and safe. MRT (metro) is a good 10 to 15 minute walk depending on the station, bus stops are closer. Nevertheless, an ideal location for exploring the city and access to Changi airport for those on a budget. There are no lifts in the hotel, we were travelling light with no luggage, so was not a problem. I would stay there again without a doubt.

Very good and accommodating staff, location wise it’s the red light district as per the grab drivers that have dropped us off. Just for safety don’t go out alone at night. Room was nice and comfy. Potable tap water.

A very clean and centrally located budget hotel which is close to restaurants of all budgets and flavours. The Aljunie mrt station is within 10-min walking distance, local buses to various places in Singapore are just steps away. The hotel space is adequate for two. Highly recommended for budget travellers.

Friendly nice and helpful staff, room nice and clean, many small restaurants and shops close by. About 10min by walk from aljunied station

The hotel was clean. The location near shoplot . If need take a bus to Aljunied MRT was no bus out to hotel, need to walk 12 min to Aljunied MRT, not convenient to old ppl. Got hair dryer, shower soap, & filter water, hotel got lift too. Overall was good.

Great location, really pleasant and clean rooms, but the thing that makes this such a good place to stay are the staff. All of the people are incredibly helpful and generous with their time and advice. thumb up!

Cons: - The whole hotel is undergoing renovation with hoardings/ tarpaulins around, had to walk over to another block via a transfer floor (also under renovation) and change lifts - Main pool and gym seems not accessible due to renovation works - Check-in took quite long to queue, even with all 4 counters in service, still by traditional pen-paper handling with requirement of deposit. Also noted some mass group room booking/ check-in probably by tours/ agents which largely took up reception’s capacity - Sound insulation is quite a problem. There was no seal under room entrance door (could see corridor light seeping through the bottom gap), and under separation door with adjacent room, could hear from neighbours quite clearly - Middle floor’s view of our room is limited to the podium pool (undergoing works), opposite hotel black and back lane of Funan mall. Reckon higher floors would have much better views - Windows of room are quite dirty from outside which affected the view. Single-glazing only, could hear city noises from time to time Pros: - Very convenient location at city centre right next to big Funan mall with direct connection to MRT and loads of food choice; right opposite to old fire station, Fort Canning Park, cathedral, etc; walkable to most city centre spots - Considerably spacious room in heart of city, which was recently refurnished with simple and modern touch - Clean interior, but with some touch-up on damaged toilet wall tiles. Some tiles seems to be replaced but with slight color variance with the remaining ones - Hot water with more than enough water pressure - Comfy beds and linens

As per record, we have booked a connected room with River View for 1 double bed & 2 single beds for 3 nights. Upon arrival at the checked in counter, the staff by the name of Maria straight away offered us an upgrade of the connected room for the 2nd & 3rd night at the upper floor with a better view. But 1st night we have to stay at lower flr in a big room with 1 double bed & 2 single bed. We said OK and she checked us into Room 206. When we got to the room, we rest for a bit before we really check out the room. But my son was complaining about the room. Being the room are like an extended room for the room flr are build by wood and noisy when u walk. No centralised aircond but a split unit aircon which is not cold. Mattress are hard as if it's already more than 10years old. This room gave us a feeling as if we are some illegal immigrant. We went back to Trip.com to check the review and we found few customers are having the same experience. I've screenshot 1 of them and attached as photo. We went down to complaint & demanded change room to the room we booked in advance. And it's not our problem that they over sold their rooms & neglected customers who booked & pay in advance. Till the end, we get the room we booked but Maria claimed its VIP room which this room fits the description of the room we book. On the day we chevked out, Maria was on duty. Very bad attitude. No eye contact, no greetings, no thank you. She don't deserve to be assigned at the front desk.

First time trying their club room. Was given a corner room with extra space despite last min booking. There is a special check in counter for club room at level 21 and private pool for club room and above. There is a schedule for the wellness activities provided by the hotel and u need to scan their QR code to make reservation. There is complimentary mini bar however I noticed there is no bath amenities for the bathtub like bath salt and the scrub etc. not sure if all this should be included inside or not? The club lounge (indoor and outdoor) was quite a nice place to chill and staff were quite flexible. The spread for evening cocktails and canapés were quite decent. We need to order the drinks via the staff and they will indicate on a piece of paper. Which I think is kinda wasting the paper. They took out new food even when it’s already 7plus. Breakfast food was decent also. Overall a nice experience trying their club room. Will go back when the price is right :)

The check in staff is very helpful. I told her that its my wife and I anniversary and she provided us with discounted upgrade. Although many of the facilities is on renovation during my stay in Grand Hyatt, i dont really use them so i am not affected. The amenities in the rooms was somehow lacking. We could not find the in room slippers so we requested for 1.
