It was not easy to find a place for a night, which is budget and have a private bathroom. The hostel is basic, just a room, which was clean, with a shower, ac and pay tv. The location is so so. It is directly in the red light discrict. I do not know it before. The taxi driver warn me,... More

I stayed here for one night in March 2013. It was easy to get to - we took the MRT to Kellang and walked (about 10 minutes). We were told we couldn't check in until 2pm, but they told us to come back around 1pm, and when we arrived back at 20 to one, they said our rooms were ready,... More

A.K.A. NEW HAPPY HOTEL (on Agoda and it's real name) We found this hotel being one of the cheapest for a couple not wanting to share a dorm! Extra easy access from airport, directly with the MRT (mass rapid transit) (for S2$) from Changi airport, take line, transfer at Tana Merah to finally exit at Kallang (EW10) 10 minutes walk... More

Never never arrive before the check in time, you will only get your room after 2pm. before check in time the room is sold to all the short stay couple for SGD 35 for 2 - 3 hours stay. Not good for family stay since it is in the RED area but safe to stay. Shower is good with strong... More

This was our 3rd stay at the happy hotel, the first was in June 2009 when it used to be clean. You can't beat the location if your on a budget. Kallang station is a short walk away and a ride into the city takes less than 10 mins. There's plenty of good food places around where you can get... More

No breakfast offered (no restaurant in the hotel), the room was super small it was so hard to move in it if you were not alone. It did not have closet either. One of the days that we stayed, we left some foods (unopened, uneaten), and they were gone (or stolen?) when we got back to the hotel and the... More

I don't consider myself to have hugely high standards when stopping over between cities on the cheap, but THIS was simply disgraceful. Mould and fungi on the walls, bathroom not cleaned (probably for several weeks), insects on the walls, tiny room, floor slabs with gaps between them. Nowhere near worth budget money. Ended up going next door and making an... More

Happy Hotel is located in the Geylang area, where many budget hotels can be found. The area is east of the city center, and covering the distance there requires a ride by taxi, bus or MRT. The closest MRT station is a brisk walk away, but busses to jalan besar stop at the main road just a few minutes from... More

Yes geylang is the red light district, but we were not bothered by anyone. It is the area for budget hotels in Singapore, so either you accept it or you pay more for a hotel in a nicer area. It is very close to the city center by MRT, there is lots of cheap food around there and the 2... More
