We stayed four nights in this hotel which offered low rates in mid-august. This place is old-style but not of bad taste. The first room we were given was small (+/- 15m²), but nice and clean (#101), with a simple decor and dark wooden floor. The bathroom was very small (2.5m²) with a toilet, a sink and a shower with curtains shrinked in. There was plenty of space & closets in the bedroom for our laundry, suitcases etc., as well as a minibar for which we were asked to pay a deposit of 10S$ upon check-in in case we would drink its water bottles! There was no safe in the room which we disliked very much, especially since there was a big warning on the door stating "do not leave any valuable in the room... the hotel management could not be held responsible in case of theft ... blablabla..." which was not reassuring. We had no other choice but to leave some valuables at the Reception's safe, but it was so tiny we had to carry most of them on us permanently.
In terms of comfort & quietness, room 101 should be absolutely avoided as it is the closest one to the lobby, the elevator's motor room, the breakfast room, and the noisy Keong Saik road. During the day, we missed some shadow curtains for more intimacy. At night, there was no black curtains at all the cover the upper window, so we suffered from the daylight. The noise was permanent day and night, and worsened by the trendy white cafe across the street with loud music up to 2am (except on sundays).
The rates included breakfast so it was cool to have an instant coffee, some toast, cereals and eggs on site. (there are only two coffee table so we guess when the hotel is packed breakfast must become epic!)
We asked the hotel to store our bags for 2 nights. The Reception staff agreed but asked us to pay 3S$ per piece, even if we had made a booking for the following night. Of course, for that price, our luggage stayed in the lobby during 48 hours since there is no storage room!
It looked like every little extra service has a cost in this hotel, and it was not pleasant.
Finally, when we returned, we were given a nice room on the third floor, on the street but away from the elevator. We really enjoyed that one as it was bigger and quieter.
If we were given this room from the beginning, we would have stayed in this hotel until the end of our journey. But the room 101 made us sceptical and we moved to a different hotel.

Have stayed here quite few times over the last decade. No, it's not top of the line, but it's decently run and I've never had any major cause for complaints. Rooms are basic, and very small: go for the most expensive - it's worth it for the extra space. Breakfast is fairly basic (cereals and toast) but at least it's part of the price. Staff generally helpful. Rooms kept reasonably well by the cleaning staff. Its biggest plus is the location in Chinatown - not too far from Outram Park MRT (an interchange station), and walking distance to almost anywhere in Chinatown. Great food on offer in the area, plus plenty of tourist traps! For the price it's a fairly good deal for Singapore. My only warning: watch out for when the Singapore F1 Night Race is on - prices jump (usually double) for several days. I hadn't been warned that one day of a stay at Keong Saik a couple of years ago overlapped with the F1 days (which were of no interest to me) and had to pay over $200 for my first night.

This hotel doesn't have all the amenities as some, such as a fitness center, but has a lot of character. It's an old hotel, a bit small, but good value and clean. The staff are friendly and a free breakfast and internet are included. Although the internet is only available in the lobby area. The hotel is fairly quiet and located next to a Hindu temple and a short distance from Chinatown shopping. Nor is it far from the subway or the riverfront. We had a good time here. They don't seem to do day rates for those flights coming and leaving around midnight. I'd stay here again. The beds were firm and clean. I couldn't find any outlets though in the bathroom, but don't use them anyway.
I'm not sure what their policy is on smoking but could smell it from the road.

Travelling from Hong Kong to Singapore then Malaysia on11th July. Got the double deluxe room on second floor for ~SGD $110 per night. Excellent value for money. Great location in Chinatown near MRT station and hawker centers, Friendly accomodating service. The room is clean and tidy, has all the required amenities such as color TV, Fridge, Cabinets. Althougha bit small, the twin beds are quite wide and comfy. The elevator is new. You book and reservation then they'll write back promptly within a few days. Jenny the receptionist is pretty and nice lady. Will definitely recommend to all and come back again.
