Booked this hotel by emailing the Fragrance Hotel's Reservation Dept as this outlet doesn't have online booking. Stayed for 2 nights during a short trip to Singapore. Room was at SGD258 in total. Stayed at Superior Queen room.
:) of the hotel:
- location is good, walking distance from Bugis MRT, few bus stops around, nearby shopping and food at well known Parco Bugis Junction and surroundings mainly Chinese food, nearby to sim lim square, the IT and electronics shopping centre
- buffet breakfast included at Chinese restaurant. Oriental food mainly, with
sausages, scrambled egg, ham.
- basic amenities of room, 2 packets of instant coffee, 2 cups of water, a jug for boiling
water, lcd tv and dvd player, cabinets to store our belongings, towels, toothbrush,
shower cap, liquid soap in bathroom, air cond is also controllable. It was cold enough
as I can even off it momentarily.
:( of the hotel:
- despite housekeeping service daily, I still find the rooms are not properly cleaned.
Some footprints are visible on floor and some hairs as well
- typical budget hotel setup. Small bathroom and toilet cramped together. After
showering, the entire bathroom floor is wet. Room is not spacious. If you have a large
luggage, there is hardly space for you. I carried 2 bags and conviniently kept in
cabinets.
- no free internet for guests. Even 2 desktop computers on reception area needs you to
purchase the keycode. I bought a 2 hours WIFI for SGD5 in room to use. Speed is OK
- no online booking available. I was allocated a room without windows. But I have no
complaints.
summary:
If you are on shoe string budget, solo traveller, on leisure travel, couples not on romantic gateaway, and not a fussy traveller, this hotel suits you. Overall an average experience for me. Maybe may stay again.
