The Fragrance Hotel

( 2 stars , Singapore , Singapore )

Hotel was adequate. Bus stop close which was handy, and great little street restaurants around. Chose this hotel due to nearby area to a friend. Clean, apart from mould on bathroom curtain and strands of hair seemed to always show up, maybe no one swept. Was comfortable enough, but for what it is, should be $20 a night, but rate is $60. Wouldn't stay again at that price.

For the price, this hotel was pretty good. It's easy to find, and it provides complimentary parking. The family room was pretty small, and a little crowded. Wireless internet access was available, but you had to pay for it, SGD$4 per hour or a portion of it. The towels were small and thin, and there wasn't any bathroom mats. We asked for three extra towels but the person said that's too much, only one for one whole night and day, and gave me one extra.

ROOMS ARE SMALL BUT VERY CLEAN. IT IS LOCATED CLOSE TO THE RED LIGHT DISTRICT.

- No remote for the TV. I could say the showers weren't great, but at what we paid, its great.

Hotel has very limited parking area for cars. We didn't get to park in the hotel premises, we have to park along Joo Chiat or another street behind it.

Basic clean hotel in entertainment area of Singapore. Slightly out of town but walking distance to underground railway. We used it as a transit hotel and it served its purpose admirably.

Overall, the hotel was nice and clean. The only strange thing, the room had no window. This felt very strange and there were no rooms with windows available.

+ Safe, clean & tidy. Restaurants are nearby. Friendly staff. - No free broadband internet access.

We spent 20 nights in a twin bedded room. Although the room was small it had so much good storage that all our possessions were out of sight. We asked for a room with fridge and bath - and got both. To get free water, coffee, biscuits, toothbrush etc. everyday in a hotel at this price is outstanding. One word of warning, the cheapest rooms have no windows so spend a little more for a superior room. Location is marked bad because of the long hike (15 minutes) to the MRT. However, the 33 bus that stops nearly outside the hotel is good for Bugis, Clarke Quay and Chinatown but a bit slow. Taxis are readily available.

Pleasantly surprised. Room on 5th floor was clean, quiet and greast value for money. The location is OK and only a S$10-15 taxi trip to/from the airport. The open shower in the bathroom may not suit some people. Hotel is perfect for an overnight stay.
