“Comfortable, clean, quiet and very central”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 28, 2012

A great little hotel. 3 star but has everything a budget minded traveler requires - aircon, clean sheets, hot shower, TV, very friendly and polite staff.

Fantastic location, walking distance to the center.

highly recommended.

“Good value hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 22, 2012 via mobile

I stayed for 3 nights at this hotel. It located in very good location. There is a bus stop in front of this hotel, adjacent to 7-11 store. Very close to bras basah mrt.
It's about 5 min walking to bugis + shopping center, bugis junction and bugis street.
We stayed at deluxe room, that facing the victoria street. The room also provide complimentary drink. The room are always clean.
The woman that works at receptionist and the old lady that works as house keeping were very friendly and helpfull.

“Very good value, pity no breakfast.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 22, 2012

Booked with booking.com, so first night was paid in advance. I expected to settle the rest of the bill when leaving, but our room key was disabled next morning because I hadn’t paid for the next night. I have grave reservations about security in this hotel, as the lift is outside the reception area and open to a back street with no security key so anyone could get up to the room floors.
All that aside, the room was spacious and comfortable and the shower unit very good, with WiFi access good. There were a fridge, tea and coffee making facilities and a desk with chair in the room. The hotel is very convenient to several MRT stations, also Raffles shopping centre. Lack of breakfast facilities was a disappointment, but a Food Centre across the road had one or two stalls open for breakfast (very tasty) although most did not open until later in the morning.
Reception staff were polite and efficient, until our departure when I was told that they could not arrange a taxi to Changi. We tried unsuccessfully on the street, and eventually one of the staff came out and directed us to a close-by hotel with a taxi bay where we were able to flag one down.
Knowing what we do now, we would still return to the Victoria as it is very good value in Singapore.

Dear valued guest,

Thank you for your patronage at Victoria Hotel. We are glad to know that you have enjoyed your stay with us. We willdefinitely share your positive feedback with the team.

Unfortunately, Victoria Hotel don't serve breakfast but there are plenty of restaurants and hawker centre surrounded and we would encourage guest to have a taste of the local Singapore hawker fare. As regards of our key card system, the key card is issued based on the numbers of room night payment made. However, we are sorry for any incovenience caused and will take into a consideration of changing system.

Once again, thank you for your feedback and sharing your experience with us on TripAdvisor. We look forward to welcoming you again in the near future!

“great location, good value in an expensive city”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed October 17, 2012

The room and the staff were fine. Excellent location. I was surprised that no soap or hand towel wwere provided. My single room bathroom had 2 bottles of shampoo and a comb. Perhaps the thinking is that haair care is more important than body hygiene. The noise that the trash collecting trucks made, daily at 04:30 was brutal. This noise went on for about a half hour.

Room Tip: A front room might be more quiet, than a rear room (#612) where one is awaken by garbage trucks at 0...

Dear Valued Guest,

Thank you for your review. We are glad that you liked the covenience location and noted some positive comment.

We appreciate your feedback about the hand towel, this practice was based on feedback from other guests to reduce the number of unused towels being washed each time a guest checks out, for environment reasons. As regards of the bottles shampoo, we provided a 2 in 1 shampoo and body wash.

Meanwhile, the garbage truck noise in the morning can be troubling for some travellers like you which we are sorry to hear about. Our practice is to offer our guest a change of room that is not facing the streets.

Once again, thank you for your feedback and sharing your experience with us on TripAdvisor. We look forward to welcoming you again in the near future.

Regards,
Hotel Management Team

“Tired looking hotel with dirty rooms and mould on ceilings”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed October 16, 2012

I chose Victoria Hotel for a 3 night stay on Singapore at the start of a longer Asia trip. I wanted to treat myself on the first stop and get a hotel room instead of a hostel dorm after my long flight. He hotel had good ratings for a competitive price given Singapore's high price levels. I was very happy with the location, close to the MRT, easily accessible from the airport by train. Around the corner from the Raffles Hotel and walking distance to many sights. I was disappointed by the rest. The hotel does not look very inviting, you have to go through the back door through a back alley to get to the elevator hat takes you to your room. The hotel staff is indifferent, not even saying hello when you pass by the reception. My room was tired, in need of refurbishment, worn towels and linen with holes and stains, damp and smelly due to mould on the ceiling and dirty with dust and hairs in the corners. When I booked I could only get a deluxe room, but when I asked for a new room because of the mould, I saw standard rooms which only differed from the deluxe because they had a single rather than a double bed, but were actually a lot more spacious because of it. Much better value for a single traveller! I got a new room after checking a couple which all had the same mould issue... the rates are too high for what he hotel offers, Wifi was free, but not very stable, no breakfast included. My suggestion: either choose a hostel and you know not to expect much or pay a bit more and get a decent hotel. I would not stay here again.

Room Tip: As far as I could tell, the ones on the 3rd floor were mouldy...
