“Never again”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed November 28, 2012

I have stayed in many hotels in Singapore and this was by far the worst. I was only going to be staying here for a few hours and I'm lucky that was the case. I was working until 3am and when I got to the room if i wasn't so tired I would have been straight down to complain.
I decided to leave the hotel at 9am because I just didn't want to be there anymore.

Instead of a double bed I got 2 singles, the carpet was dirty, the view was of a building site. The towels were dirty, they shower was even worse. After I got to sleep I was woken by a bang in the bathroom. When I went into check what it was a part had fallen off the bath. I have attached pictures.

I was woken again at 8am by the noise outside and decided to go for breakfast. Breakfast was only average,

There is a lot of work needs to be done to this hotel but I am not going to find out if it ever improves because I will not go back.

“Good Location”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 28, 2012

I stayed at the hotel for two nights. The room and bathroom are clean and comfortable. Breakfast was good, I really love their mashed potatoes. I was a bit disappointed that they don't have WiFi in the room, I had to sit at the lobby whenever I need WiFi. Luckily they have sofas in the lobby and the connection's quite fast.
There's a 7/11 store and a Kopitiam (24 hours diner) right beside the hotel. It is also very close to the Bras Basah MRT station and a bus stop. It took only a couple of MRT stops to get to some tourism spots like Merlion Park or China Town.
Another one of my disappointments is that there's an MRT construction right in front of the building. It wasn't noisy, but because of that, that part of the Bencoolen street is closed and the view from my room was cranes and tractors.

“high prices for a lot of noice”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed November 15, 2012

We stayed in the hotel for 3days. I hate rooms with dirty carpet...and might have spotted a few fleas during our stay...but if you don't care then its a decent hotel very in the middle of the city.
oops one other thing...Ben Coolen street is until 2017 a big construction area, a new metro station is being built and guess what comes with those building activities....noise, a lot of noise. But if you don't care then its a decent hotel in the middle of the city...

Thank you for choosing Bayview Hotel Singapore for your holiday in Singapore and we appreciate your sharing the experience with us here on TripAdvisor. We are saddened to hear of your encounters at Bayview Hotel Singapore and would like to extend our sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused.

On the construction in front of the hotel, we are working closely with the Authority to minimize the inconveniences. The MRT construction is part of Singapore upgrading to provide more connectivity for the residence as well as overseas visitors in the future. This MRT line is directly connected to Singapore Expo and Changi Airport.

The Management is constantly looking into areas of improvements in the best of our efforts. We hope the experiences you have had does not deter you from staying with us at Bayivew Hotel Singapore where I look forward to welcoming you back soon.

“Ok for Value”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 8, 2012

The hotel was clean, room was spacious, bathroom was average though the tub was chipping and showed signs of wear and tear. The staff were friendly and easy to talk to. The breakfast choices was good and varies every day. The location was good for walking around, the only downside was that there were construction around the area which made it hard to get to for taxi cabs so you will have to walk to a corner or wait until one finds its way around the detours. Eating spots were scattered and easy to walk to, 711 just across the small alley. Over all, I would stay there again.

“OK place but Overpriced for what you get”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 5, 2012

This hotel is in a Good location. They have some MAJOR road works going on at the moment with the MRT being built in front of them. I requested a room with 2 single rooms be provided and when we arrived it was on the paperwork showing a 'twin' room so all was looking up. We get to the room and the Room is only 1 double bed. This was quickly fixed but not before the reception girl was heard laughing over the phone to the concierge. Once it was sorted and we were given the correct room we went to hook to the Wireless Internet only to find that WiFi only available in the reception area and NOT in your room. you can connect to Internet in your room only if your device has a ethernet slot (and you need to purchase a cable or BYO)

We were in a room over looking the MRT and we heard very little noise from them during our stay.

The Breakfast was included in our Room rate but be warned that the food is often cold (and we were there around 7am)

The receipt staff are VERY helpful however the room we were in was not the cleanest room you have seen. The shower door was broken and the corners were covered in scum

Overall The place is OK but it is WELL overpriced for what you get
