We had such a wonderful stay at Studio M Hotel! The atmosphere and overall environment were superb – truly a pleasant experience from start to finish.
The location is just perfect. Being right next to the Singapore River made our stay even more special. The morning walks were serene and peaceful, while the evenings were vibrant with the lively nightlife – such a beautiful contrast to experience.
It’s also very convenient – just a 5–10 minute walk to the MRT and around 10–15 minutes to Chinatown. Two 7-Eleven stores nearby made it super handy, and there are plenty of restaurants along the river within walking distance.
Overall, this is a “don’t miss” hotel when in Singapore – stylish, comfortable, and perfectly located. Highly recommend!
This was our second visit to Paradox since our first stay last year, which left a very positive impression. As before, we booked the Executive King Room with club benefits.
Upon check-in, we were warmly welcomed by the team and attended to by Gio, who displayed great hospitality and patiently went through the club benefits with us. We noticed a few changes — the afternoon tea and evening cocktails now have extended timings, and are held at Crossroads Bar instead of the executive lounge.
The room was clean and decently sized, with a working desk and a separate foyer area, which I appreciated. However, it was disappointing that the TV did not have a Chromecast feature. Soundproofing could also be improved, as noise from children running and shouting along the corridor could be heard, as well as some loud music from Clarke Quay, given its vibrant nightlife scene.
Afternoon tea is served from 12pm to 4pm, offering a good selection of savoury snacks and bite-sized pastries, along with free-flow TWG tea.
Evening cocktails run from 5pm to 8pm, with canapés, spirits, and wines set up at a corner of the bar. We especially appreciated the availability of draught beer (Heineken and Tiger) instead of bottled options, as well as Prosecco on request — all part of the club benefits. The food tasted good and offered decent variety. At both the afternoon tea and evening cocktails, we were warmly served by Robert and the manager (unfortunately, I didn’t catch his name), who were attentive and quick to top up our drinks.
Breakfast, served from 6:30am to 10:30am at Ellenborough Market Café, offered a wide variety of food and live stations. However, it was rather crowded around 8am, and we would have preferred if breakfast could be served in a club lounge for more exclusivity.
Overall, we had another great experience at Paradox and truly appreciated the warm hospitality of the crew. We’ll definitely be returning again.
I had a really great stay here! The location is seriously unbeatable — just a short walk to Clarke Quay MRT, and surrounded by so many food spots, cafes, and tourist attractions. I could walk to the river, Chinatown, and even Marina Bay if I felt like it.
The staff were super friendly, polite, and helpful. They made check-in smooth and were always smiling. The whole vibe felt very welcoming.
Highlights:
✔️ Top-tier location — food, sights, MRT all nearby
✔️ Staff were kind, professional, and respectful
✔️ Clean room, comfy bed
If you’re looking for a budget-friendly hotel in the heart of Singapore, this place checks all the boxes. Will definitely stay here again!

Got the loft space for a 3 day 2 nights stay. Really spacious compared to some of the rooms I have stayed around SG. If you are looking for a space that is convenient to get around business center but don’t really want too much of the hustle and bustle consider m social. Riverside has a good jogging path as well the gym and pool was fantastic
Overall good experience, staff was friendly and room decently equipped. Positive that they do not provide bottled water but at the same time the filtered water does not taste as good and ended up buying anyway.
Did not use the gym or swimming pool unfortunately
Nice hotel.. good location,near mrt and have bus stop everywhere.. near Great World city and 1 ride to chinatown,and can even walk to chinatown. And near to orchard.
Very accommodating staff, good service..
Location is very convenient next to the mrt, will have to navigate through the mall but the signs on the floor will clearly guide you to the hotel.
Room has a musky smell and bed maybe not very clean as was having some itches during the night BUT the hotel staffs are very nice and prompt when notified them at around 10pm+ and they assisted us to change to another room which is so much better and resolves our issues quickly. Really appreciate the staffs for helping us in the middle of the night.
I think this has been one of the best hotels I've ever stayed in, not just because it had a swimming pool which is nice in such a hot and humid city like Singapore, but also a gym and a sauna, however I didn't get the chance to use those since I only stayed 2 days and spent most of my time out exploring the city. The rooms are quite spacious and have plenty of storage space, the usual amenities, comfortable beds, and even a tablet that allows you to do things like call the front desk, schedule wake up times, check out local travel tips, etc. The staff were also really friendly and kind, always trying their best to make your stay easier, and they let me store my luggage at the hotel even after checkout so I could explore the city some more since my flight was only leaving later in the day. If I find myself in Singapore again someday soon, I will be sure to book a stay in this hotel.
The room is very good. It has a foyer, dining room, kitchen and laundry room. It is also very convenient to go out to eat. The swimming pool is especially convenient! The balcony can directly see the river, which is also great for walking in the evening! It is especially suitable for the whole family to wash and dry clothes. It is much more convenient than a hotel.
The location is very good. There are shopping malls, supermarkets, 7-11 and subways downstairs, which makes travel very convenient. The apartment can cook simple meals, and there is also a food court opposite. The hotel is clean and tidy inside, with a swimming pool and a place for children to read. It is very suitable for family travel.

PPatricia TejanoKinn Capsule SG offers a unique and cozy experience. The capsules are surprisingly spacious for a capsule hotel, with just the right amount of privac
GGuest UserDue to the nightclub upstairs/downstairs, it was difficult to sleep, can hear the noise and feel the vibration. Toilet is outside at the corridor which can be accessed by the public, was a bit concerned about safety. Also, there is no slipper to change, everyone is allowed to wear their outdoors shoes everywear, including the room.
Ssabrina swandiIm a local absolutely love this place. U be surprise even with the bars below it be noisy. Well is it isn’t that bad. I slept like a log. Room was not stuffy at all. U can open the windows. Showers were very new even the water heater . Zero noise from other rooms. The bed thought firm. The ample big bed omg!! Made my sleep even better. The table is a good size. Lighting to do work was great. Aircon was in good condition. Toilet was super clean. They provide toiletries except for comb. Room was super clean. U need to download Goki app, this a contactless self check in property. Once downloaded u be able to receive a code with room number to unlock the automated door look of ur room. I attached a pic of my view from my room. U know ur smack in the middle of the Boat Quay district which is very convenient for foreigner and locals. 7 eleven was just opposite, anyways along the rood towards the bridge u see some eateries and cafe. So no issue with food needs.
Finding this place u need to find the unit 49 circular road and go up the stairs on the right side to level 3.
GGuest UserThe hotel was very clean and had a pleasant, welcoming scent throughout. It offers 24-hour access to a coffee machine and drinking water, which was a thoughtful touch. The staff were kind and helpful, always ready to support guests with any needs.
There are two lifts available, which made moving between floors quick and convenient.
The location is excellent—within walking distance to Boat Quay and Chinatown Point, with many restaurants and food centers nearby for convenient dining options.
The breakfast, while appreciated, was quite light and the same each day. It typically included sliced bread with butter and jam, fried rice or stir-fried noodles, scrambled eggs, spring rolls, a simple vegetable salad, and banana cake. A bit more variety would enhance the breakfast experience.
FFluffybunThe hotel is not new, but come with rather good room condition. It is near to Havelock mrt and many buses to other location in Singapore. Quiet place with good food choices nearby. I have to highlight the Chinese cleaner (young lady) was very friendly. It was really great to get some help from her on my first day of arrival. Such a kind person!
GGuest UserThe room is really clean and close to the attractions. There are bars downstairs, so it might be a little noisy near the window at night. But everyone in the room is very quiet. Overall, it's very nice and suitable for young people to travel.
