- Adrian (8/5): Rapporto qualità prezzo perfetto e pulitissimo - Pulizia La camera piccola ma lo sapevo già
- Kieran (5/5): Basic functional room but overpriced for our stay - Small, clean, basic but functional room. Overpriced due to Grand Prix, not many restaurants nearby and around 20-25 mins walk to MRT
- Mary Jahdene Gellien (7/5): Overall stay was good. Will book again. - Ac was very cold. There's a heater in the toilet. Everyday room makeup and bottled water and toiletries refill. The toilet is not flushing properly.
TV has limited channels.
- Maria Isabel (5/5): -
- azizan (8/5): Nice place to stay and near to my meeting place. - NA The room is not spacious enough for both of us with extra 'luggage'(oversize)
- thomas (4/5): - Check in unfriendly and automated. No welcome. No friendly small talk. Bed uncomfortable. Room cleanliness only ok. Shower good. Wifi good. Unfriendly check out too. I wouldn't stay here again.
- Daniela (5/5): They have many hotels in Singapore try to book in another one. - Nice bed, towels and friendly staff The location, it is quite far from all places you would like to see in Singapore and you can only take bus no MRT because the station is also far.
Obviously the room is small and that is understandable due to the location and price you pay, however, there is a strong musty smell.
- Gualin (9/5): -
- Nam (10/5): -
- Wong (7/5): 满意 - 没有早餐提供,交通便利 桌子上一直会出现很多蚂蚁,抹干净之后又会出现.
- Fatima joy (9/5): It was great! I’d go back and choose the same hotel again 🙂 - Convenient. Because it’s near the hawker centers None.

- H.A.B (8/5): Good quality for the price point - No surprise. Small hotel, small room, small bed (for 2), tiny bathroom - but everything was as described.
Convenient location well served by public transport and easy to Grab a cab from and to.
Relatively cheap for Singapore.
Staff was welcoming and amicable Smallest bathroom - you litterally shower on top of the toilet ! This is Singapore though - to be expected at this price point.
Not that many varied restaurant options in the surrounding
- Jenny (10/5): -
- Japie (10/5): - If you want the basics done right, friendly staff and a high level of cleanliness, the Fragrance Rose is for you!
- Raymond (6/5): -
- Johnry (8/5): Value for Money - I like the fact that they have 24 -hour front desk. The wifi is also strong and it's easy to commute by bus from the hotel. I think the location is good because it is quite far from the touristy area which makes it relatively peaceful but still convenient for commute. The staff are also helpful. Some of the facilities are quite old but are still working well. I think it still value for money in general knowing that most of the accommodations in Singapore for a private room with private shower are very expensive.
- Peter (7/5): Good clean and inexpensive hotel close to things we wanted to do. - Very clean and quiet. Close to buses and food outlets and easy to get to spots like Haji Street and Gardens By The Bay etc.. Didn’t have much interaction with staff as not in our building so didn’t have the usual rapport coming and going from hotel each day. Were helpful though if I went next door specifically to ask question.
- Riva (8/5): Very good - Location Too small
- Pacala (9/5): Superb -
- Maloo (7/5): Good - Good staff They do not have a common washroom or changing room.. we landed in singapore at 7 am and we were ready for a checkin at 3 pm but they asked us to use a temple washroom and changing room inspite of them having empty rooms they would not give it to us for just 5 mins..
- Lee (7/5): Good - Pre check in didn't save time
- kharda2025 (10/5): Highly Reccommended - This is not my first time to stay in this hotel. I am always booked this hotel because of the Location, Easy transportation, many hawkers and the Staff are very friendly specially to Sir.Kei Wee , Alan, and Yee Han these staff is so kind and accommodating.

- Rineesh Kumar (10/5): - Great experience staying in fragrance Rose hotel. Excellent location, very near and walking distance to shopping area and local restaurants.The hotel provided housekeeping service every day is very good. The staffs services are excellent throughout and they are very attentive. We are very happy and much appreciated being served by them.👏👏👏 Thank you very much! Will be back.🙏
- Saurab (7/5): Nice... I would say - The staffs were nice.... the location was nearby little india which was nice for me. I don't think I need to comment on the fact that the entire Singapore is a safe play to stay.... the neighborhood were nice as well... There were small groceries in just some walking distance and some street place to eat as well. The bus stop was also just 2 min away in walking distance so that was convenient as well. Now how much you like or dislike this hotel is going to be subjective. While all the services were nice enough for me some people might not like the small room size, but it was fine by me.
The walls were very transparent, so you can hear everything from neighboring rooms and I mean literally everything.
While taking bath if you leave the door open the entire water will enter the room and even if you leave it close, you will drag some water into the room and you will have to mop the floor once in a while but since the room size is small.. you can do that in just 10 15 sec and there is a mopping cloth for that.....
Now, all of this was fine by me, I got this hotel for cheaper price than others which was more important.
- Garyfallia (9/5): Superb -
- Suke (10/5): Exceptional - Reasonable location that is not so far from hawker center, food spot, minimarket and coin laundry. Unfortunately nof near from MRT stations, but it is no problem if you are ok for bus transporatoins in Singapore.

- Tempest (7/5): Good -
- Bianca (9/5): Superb - Rose offers a straightforward, budget-friendly stay in Singapore. Located in Balestier, it’s a bit outside the bustling city center, but convenient public transport options make it easy to reach popular attractions. Rooms are compact but clean, with basic amenities like air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and hot showers. Staff are generally helpful and approachable, providing useful information for first-time visitors. Ideal for budget-conscious travelers who prioritize a clean, comfortable space to rest over luxury amenities.
- Amirul (8/5): Very good -
- Mingle (2/5): the lower price is the only one you should expect there - location was not bad and staff was also responsive. not clean at all even with bug ran onto the bed, even though the front desk guys changed the room for me.
bath room stuff was just function but not in good condition.
- Ronald (10/5): - Clean quiet room. The matress was a little hard . The staff was very helpful.
- Shafin (2/5): Very poor -
- Pooh (10/5): Awesome stay, value for your money. - Located in a very convenient place, there is a cheers , seven eleven and multiple mini marts just near by the hotel. Money exchange place just opposite the hotel. Hotel staff is also very nice and helpful all the time. Just 1 min walk to bus stops. Food centers, value dollar shops within walking distance. Clean rooms. Perfect AC temperature in the room. When requested, The staff cleaned our room daily. Even though we booked a no window room, the hotel was kind enough to free upgrade it to a window room upon our arrival. They even arranged a taxi for us to return to airport within 5 mins. Peaceful quiet environment. Worth the money spent.
Overall, very much recommended for anyone who is looking for a budget stay. Hotel does not provide laundry services. But there’s a self service laundromat within 10 mins by bus.
