Reasonable choice

3.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Sep 19, 2012
Our first room had a really bad smell, so we asked for another one.
Second one was better.
This place is one of the cheaper options in Singapore, so what can you expect?
Location is quite ok.
Bus is 50 mtrs, MRT about 800 mtrs.
Neighborhood is red light district, but you have to look good;-)

Reviewed August 30, 2012

Well, reading some of the reviews here made me worry a little bit before I went there, but surprisingly their room is clean enough to stay for a day or two! Their staffs are pretty friendly as well. You can store your baggage there before check-in or after check-out with no charges.

With that price, don't expect a 5-star quality hotel, this hotel is perfect for night rest. Try to get a 4th floor room and further from lift if possible. They have almost all basic equipment inside which is a plus!

Don't worry about the red light district area. Everyone know it's there but you can simply ignore them, and frankly they are almost invisible for me. The nearest train station is Kallang, which is about 10-15 minutes walk from the hotel.

I will definitely go back to this hotel if there is another trip down to Singapore.

Room tip: 4th floor rooms generally are good. We stayed at 402, which is a twin room and it's a satisfying room.

We stayed here for 4 nights whilst we were doing a visa run from Bali, and the room was clean and tidy.

We were kept awake by being too close to the elevator so at night time every guest would pass our room door and you can clearly hear them talking, so maybe next time I would request a room further away from the elevator.

We needed to use the MRT on a daily basis, and although it is listed as being a 10 minute walk away, I'd say more like 15-20 minutes, which in the Singapore heat, is very draining!

All in all though, we are happy to recommend this branch of the Fragrance chain of hotels in Singapore.

Room tip: Try to get a room away from the elevator.

It is cleaner and the service is better than expected. Just a little bit too far away from the MRT station. They would clean the room everyday and you can put your luggage there after check-out without extra fee. I would like to stay there if I visit Singapore again but with more comfortable shoes since it requires a lot of walk. :)

We stayed in 2 nights from 29 Feb to 2nd March, 2012. And of course we spent nice duration of stay at this hotel. First impression for us is receptionist when we checked in. Check-in procedure was fast! Specially, thanks Mr. Wan Chai at reception area, he helped us to find some places out on tourist map :)

1) Nice receptionists

2) Great location, just 2 minutes to 7/11(convenient store), bus stop and many nice shops with amazing and cheap food :X

3) Free compliment per day: coffee and water

I will recommend this hotel to my friends whom wanna come to Singapore!!!

My wife and I went to Singapore for 5 days holiday. First, I looked at Fragrance-Sapphire but it's full so I chose Fragrance-Sunflower which located on the opposite side instead. My price was 78SGD for Superior room in May, it's OK for me. First night, when we reached the hotel at 21:00, the stuff gave us the room on first floor which I thought it wasn't safe enough because our window was next to the walkway of the back alley. I asked him to change the room to other floor, he said it was full tonight but he will arrange for us on the next day. The hotel stuff was fine, they just do their duty; check-in, get the money and try to fix problem. The room was small but had everything we need; bathroom, air-con, double-bed. The hotel stuff clean the room everyday.

About the transportation, Geylang is a little bit outside the city, but we don't have problem with its. We always traveled by bus no. 80 or 100 from the bus stop which is 200 meters away from the hotel to the other side of the city; Chinatown, Vivo City, Cable car station or Orchard road. It's very convenience. Highly recommended!!

But I do not recommended if you are a kind of PERFECTIONIST!!

Room tip: do not stay on 1st floor!!
