We stayed at this hotel for 3 nights.
Upon sticky beaking the front desk I noted the regular tariff at $280 per night. We paid $139 booking.com for a superior double. I would have definitely not paid the regular trariff based on the room offered. I was quite dismayed when I opened the room door. The photo's on their advertisments give you a false illusion of space.

Location: Central to anywhere you would like to visit in Singapore via MRT, having two train stations at your doorstep (Outram Park and Chinatown)
With a minute walk to the China town complex.

Room: We booked two rooms, our friends got a room with a balcony and we got a room with no balcony. Our windows were also boarded up half way giving us no view to the road below.
I felt very claustrophobic. Even the shutter style windows provided to give the illusion of space did not help. The room was air conditioned.

Take Note.....You will want to feel very,very comfortable with your partner if you are booking this room because there is no option for visual or audio privacy. You couldn't swing a cat in these 2m X 2m rooms you will be stumbling over each other because there is no room to move.
The bathroom is a wet room and you could go to the toilet and shower at the same time because the space is so confined. The shower is more or less over the toilet. So this means your toilet paper gets wet every time!
The bathroom is entirely glass with a translucent glass in the middle supposedly to offer you privacy. You can see and hear everything. Unfortunately, you can't muffle the sound of toileting and the sound effects are in digital dolby sound. Some couples like to keep certain things private. If you wanted some privacy from your partner you would have to ask them to leave the room whilst you do your business and if anyone has a bad belly then a gas mask would be needed because their would be no escape from the smell. Our travelling companions took turns to the leave their room during those critical times.

I would only book this room if I was travelling alone.

Our room was situated on the road so it was quite noisey at night and in the very early hours of the morning we were awakened by the heavy duty street cleaners.

Cleanliness: Well cleaned

Entertainment & Food:
You are surrounded by Bars, cafes clubs and eateries. The top end of Keong Sailk is reminiscent of Paddington in Sydney. Upmarket, expensive somewhat overpriced drinks. Approx $17 for a beer in one bar.

Towards the lower end heading towards Chinatown, there are cheaper eateries and one on the corner is featured in the top 25 places to eat in Singapore.

You are also right next door to the now famous and only Michelin Star Rated Hawkers Stand, "Hong Kong Soya Sauce Chicken and Rice Noodle".

For a familiar breakfast experience McDonald's is a 5 min walk. Don't expect to eat your regular egg & bacon mcmuffin meal as both are replaced with chicken.

Staff:The reception staff were mostly friendly. One male staff member was seen regularly sleeping either in a chiar at reception or on the waiting room lounge.
The cleaning staff were quite chatty and friendly.

Getting Around:
MRT - train travel, most efficient service and stress free form of transport I have ever experienced. Trains literally run every few minutes. No queues! No panic that your going to miss a train. Trains to suburbs are all run on coloured lines. Very easy to understand and navigate.
Both announcements that are made as you approach stops and in train stations are all in English. Trains do not have seats in rows like Australia, instead seats are on the sides of train, (minimal seating so be prepared to stand) enabling you to see the depth of the train. This is interesting as you can see the train move in a snake like movement through the tracks. This also means you can see everybody on the train with you. You are not alone in a carriage making you feel very safe.

You can purchase a card for $5 which you keep adding credit to. It reduces the standard price for travel. If you have money left over you will be credited.

You can also purchase a standard train ticket and reuse this 6 times, with a reduced price of 10c each time you travel.
Fares are cheap and getting to your destination is very quick.

Trains are located at Changi airport and you can train to your hotel as we did with ease. Train stations are extremely safe and well thought out. They are very clean and hardly resemble a train station that we are accustomed to in Australia.'

Note: When exiting Outram Park MRT Exit H - new bridge Rd - walk straight - first left then left onto Keong Sailk. This is the easist route to the hotel.

Something Nice: The hotel does offer complimentary water. juice, softdrink all day. This was great on those incredibly hot days.

Room tip: Not for couples or friends who like to poop in private

Situated in the chinatown area. Walking distance to most of the attractions. The hotel itself looks simple but nice. Staff was nice and the breakfast was great too. The housekeeping however was terrible. They didnt make our room and we had no shower gel and toothpaste. Quite disappointed.

The room was very tiny I did not have much space to move around with my suitcase, however it was cute and clean. It's in the heart of Chinatown Singapore near to the MRT station with easy access to many shopping districts. Also very close to the Buddha tooth temple which you can hear them celebrating early in the morning.

Hi Dianne W,

Thank you for taking time to share this review. We are delighted to learn that you had an enjoyable stay with us!

Located in the bustling neighhourhood of Keong Saik Road, the hotel's location is a strategic base to explore the city.

Love love love the location of this hotel; easily walkable to/from the Outram Park MRT station and smack in the middle of a beautiful stretch of "old Singapore" --renovated shop houses that have been turned into chic and trendy restaurants and bakeries.

But. The hotel facilities are old and overall lack a higher standard of cleanliness and polish. Worst: you can hear the pipes working when your neighbor is showering & flushing.

Would love to rate 4 but location alone doesn't make a great stay; there are other hotels in the same area which I would prefer to check out on my next trip to Singapore.

Hi Ponyo1998,

Greetings from Hotel 1929 and thank you so much for taking time to share this review. We are hearten to learn that you enjoyed the location and thank you for your feedback with regards to our rooms. Rest assured that we share all feedback with our team for continuous improvement.

Being in a conservations shophouse, space is indeed very much a constraint. Perhaps the next time you are in town, we could have you try, New Majestic Hotel, our sister property on the next street. With bigger rooms and a gym and outdoor pool as its facilities, we think you might enjoy it more.

Should you be heading back to our shore, drop us a email at H1929-Res@unlistedcollection.com and we will attend to your request personally.

All best,
Lyndel Joyce

Well, that was the smallest room i've ever lived in with the shower just over the toilet =D

Stayed there on my way back from Asia trip just for one day. I was looking for:
- Good location in China town
- Ok price
- Breakfeast (it could be costly in Singapore)
- Possibility to leave the bags after check-out

Well, that's exactly what I recieved. Couldn't reccomend this place for the long stay - you simly will not have the space to put your stuff. But for the quick 1-2 day trip it's an ok place to have a nap
