Guest Reviews
- Shashank (10/5): - Good stay
- Tabarie (8/5): - How helpfully the front desk staff was with my issue with luxury tours and travel
- Zakir (2/5): - This was, without exaggeration, the worst hotel experience I’ve had in all my travels. We stayed in the hotel’s so-called “Executive Room,” which is marketed as their best and largest offering. What we encountered was far from acceptable. The room was dirty, with bugs freely crawling around, mold visible in multiple areas, and cracked tiles in the shower. There was hair under the bathroom sink, holes in the walls, and a fan coated with what looked like years of dust buildup. The bedding and linens were old and stained yellow, and even the plastic hangers were broken. The Wi-Fi was completely nonfunctional. Despite multiple requests for basic service—cleaning the room, removing bugs, replacing towels—hotel staff showed no willingness to help. When we politely asked for a deep clean, the receptionist simply laughed. The lack of professionalism and care from the staff was shocking, especially for a hotel charging $260 USD per night. We booked this hotel for its location and hoped that earlier negative reviews might not reflect our experience. Unfortunately, they were accurate—if anything, our stay was worse. Singapore is a compact city with great transportation. You can stay at a much cleaner, more professional hotel slightly farther from the waterfront and still have easy access to all the main attractions. Avoid this hotel at all costs. It’s overpriced, unsanitary, and the staff are indifferent. Absolutely would not recommend.
- Pallavi (8/5): - Very good location. Close to all the attractions.
- Danny (10/5): - Goox
- Shahi Taphsir (10/5): - Recommended
- Glen (10/5): - Location and transportation
- Mike (4/5): Poster burger vs what you get IRL - For the price, it was not worth the $250 something. The bed sheet were warm and felt damp. This was just one room with three beds and bathroom. Not sure how this is categorized as Suite. Quite disappointed.
- Mark Anthony (8/5): - Na
- Paul (2/5): - Cockroaches roaming free
- Izetta Jones (2/5): - There were cockroaches in my room
- Ray (4/5): - Budget hotel and ok for a couple of night's. Expensive for what it id.
- Lanre (10/5): - old apartment
- Teresita (2/5): - The facility needs to be updated. The elevator has a certain smell. Breakfast is terrible. The room is not clean. Bed is too hard and not comfortable to sleep on.
- tam (4/5): - Hotel is very old and smelled. Needs lots of updated. It’s more like a motel. The only good thing is location. It’s walking distance to everything.
- Anna (10/5): - This property is centrally located and i avery close to the tourist spots.
- Ronelia Cabras (8/5): - We stay tonight, it’ was convenient
- wanda (8/5): - Hotel is run down and needed some renovation but service was good. Room was too small. Breakfast was good.
- D (4/5): extremely small room and hotel was damp - The hotel was in a good location and we used the MRT to travel from & to the airport. The staff provided us with very useful directions to use the MRT. The room was the smallest room we have ever stayed in. The whole hotel smelt of dampness which was very unpleasant.
- James (2/5): Don’t do it - Staff was friendly. Hotel was filthy and disgusting. Construction next store made room uninhabitable from 8:30am-6:30pm. The grossest hotel I think I ever stayed.
- George (6/5): - We had noisy neighbors. Dinning room staff are not friendly. Front desk clerk ignore you and does not care. Not a pleasant stay during our visit. We spent 4 night over there. The room is tiny and it cost too much.
- Monir (2/5): - Over booked. Double booked
- Stewart (6/5): - The hotel location and it’s staff are its best features. The hotel is a bit dingy hit for one night, it is okay. The ac was outstanding. It was quiet and quickly moved to the setting we required . The bed was okay, the room a bit small. We dormant know we were supposed to flip a switch to get hot water, so we dormant take a shower the day we arrived but while eating breakfast, we leaned there was a switch to flip that would start the hot water flowing. I would consider this an adequate one nighter but not for a longer stay.
- Thaluman (10/5): Mabo - This hotel is central place. Easy to go everywhere.
- Vivienne (10/5): Great location - Decent hotel for anyone on a budget, great location very close to bus station and the trains. Small rooms but comfy beds. Enough room for two people with the small room we booked. Overall pleasant stay, if you’re on a budget then this hotel could be it for you!
- Maureen (4/5): - Very dusty rooms, uncomfortable mattress on one bed, bad smell in bathroom, breakfast area not appealing at all, breakfast very basic, wouldn’t go there again.
- Ian (2/5): - Bathroom shower was horribly dirty with mold. It will give you foot fungus. Reconstruction is ongoing next door, so between 8-5, much hammering. No windows, and no ventilation. Very small room. One star, not three.
- Bouakham (6/5): - Basic accommodation, ok for one night stay for a 12hr transit. Just needed a place to sleep, shower, and explore the hawker markets. No windows and extremely small.
- Carina (10/5): - I like all the properties inside, it's very good
- Theodora (2/5): Bad experience! - So dirty place, with bad smell from the toilet and smell of mold in some rooms. Also several bugs, (ants, cockroaches etc) in the rooms. Very bad experience. We had to change 3 rooms. I don't recommended it at all. The location is good but find something else
- Myrna (4/5): - For the price charged our room was basic backpacker level; no window, cramped with double bed tucked in alcove requiring left side. Room was generally run down, sparsely furnished.
- roseann (10/5): - Everything is close by the hotel. It was convenient for us and the cruise port was nearby. I like the fact that you can eat ice cream every day. The night market is a must see. The staff was wonderful and most of them don’t speak English but we managed to communicate with a translator. I would definitely go back there and stay. I stayed there 2 nights,
- Teodora (2/5): - We were a group of 7 people in three rooms and stayed for two nights. Our room had no shower curtain and flooded after showers. The night wall light was not working, and the telephone to call my family was not working. The washroom was full of molds, the vanity was full of molds, the walls throughout was dirty. They installed a shower curtain but it was too short and did not help with the flooding. The hotel definitely has major maintenance issues. It was neglected. It was not worth what I paid.I have pictures to back up my review.
- Susan (2/5): - The property is very tired. My bathroom had mould between the tiles and fixtures. I didn't pay for that. The Team were helpful but its not up to any standards.
- Laura Mc Cook (4/5): - Old hotel, noisy, dirty
- Jennifer (6/5): - Clean. Hotel made an effort to provide everything needed, but the hotel, furniture, etc. were old.
- Luis (10/5): - Todo perfecto
- jianli (10/5): - I liked very much
- Emmalinda (10/5): - Staff are helpful and hotel is clean
- Tuan Khai (6/5): - The price is not that cheap, but it is relatively acceptable.
- Tawanta (8/5): - You stay at Jayleen 1918 because of its excellent location and walking distance to many restaurants, pubs, Clarke Quay Mall, and Clarke Quay MRT. It's easy and quick to get from the hotel to other attractions via the subway. The hotel is near tourist nightclubs so there are a lot of revelers at night. The hotel needs renovation for moldy baseboards and musty odors and a facelift for old decor but the room, linen, and bathroom were clean. I didn't see any bedbugs. The staff is very hospitable.
- Jian Ya (10/5): - The hotel is located near Clarke Quay. It is easy to walk around major attractions. We used public transport a lot as well. The hotel is very clean and reasonably priced.
- Kazutami (2/5): Bad idiot worst hotel in my life. - Hotel is terrible. I have sated July 3 one night. Inside room are many aunts. And insect around drinks water area. No clean and bad smells. I come now for two nights stay. Again same room 207. Still there are many aunts. I don’t like to stay here but now no time to change the hotel. Already midnight and no chance. Really bad and terrible hotel.
- masatoshi (4/5): - Shower does not work well. No hot water comes…
- Joselito (2/5): - The whole property, especially our room, is so dirty. So frustrated and disappointed with Expedia for recommending this property.
- kaveriappa (10/5): - Staff are very courteous. Clean rooms and excellent location
- Melody (8/5): - It’s very convenient & the location is good!
- Ken (8/5): - Very small room, ok for an overnight stop.
- Jansen (10/5): - Staff was friendly. They give advice on things to do around Singapore as well as how to use their local train system.
- margaret (4/5): - Bathroom is not clean. The building was very old
- Rebecca (10/5): - Nice staff, nice place
- Amelia Vince (4/5): - Bathroom moldy and the floors are dirty and chipping off . The walls are with black molds especially in crease areas . The elevator stinks , cannot breath while inside
- Raj Kumar (8/5): - The area which hotel is located and the staff are so cooperative and friendly
- Francis (6/5): - Quite place
- Alphonsus (6/5): - Likes- good location, good price, very helpful staff Dislikes- very noisy at night, can hear shower and flush of other rooms, no partition between shower and toilet(not even a shower curtain) wash basin is in the bedroom, very outdated place. Will not stay again. But very hard to get this price for the convenient location.
- Chee Weng (6/5): - Quaint
- Indika (2/5): - Please don’t go near this hotel. So dirty and so many cockroaches. noisy even in the night. Bed is full with hair from previous visitors. I will never ever pick this hotel again. What a waste of money
- Mike (10/5): - Was it giant, brand new, and spotless? No. But certainly big enough and clean and quiet. Front desk very helpful. Short walk to MRT station. Would stay again for sure.
- Anne (8/5): - Very good location. Ideal if it's just a bed and shower/toilet you're after. Having a telly was a bonus.One up from capsule hotel with privacy of your own room.
- Renato Rigos (8/5): - Staff are nice and accommodating
- Sue (8/5): - It is an older property that was well maintained and very clean. The staff was helpful and the included breakfast could satisfy appetites from a variety of countries. A great value that we would select for future stays.
- APRIAN (4/5): - 1) you can skip the breakfast. Buy better food near by including 7/11 2) no laundry services. Do you it yourself, and dry your clothes on the roof as advised by the hotel management. 3) Air con isn't very good.
- Verified traveler (4/5): - At check-in, the room we were given was nothing like the website. The room was so small we could hardly move. The bathroom still had toothpaste spattered on the mirror and tap and had an odour. There was also a clump of hair on the floor. We were finally offered 2 rooms but at an additional $160 and we also had to pay for breakfast which was initially included in our booking. There was mould everywhere in the rooms and the bedding was discoloured and very old. The whole place was dated and desperately in need of an update. There are many better hotels in the city centre at which to stay and this is one to avoid. Definitely not value for money.
- Adrian (10/5): Location, Location, Location - The hotel is basic, but that is exactly what I wanted. The outstanding location and very competitive price made this the perfect place to stay for my week-long trip to Singapore. Just a 3-minute walk from the nearest MRT station, the whole island was opened-up to me and after a long day of trekking around the sights, it also proved to be an ideal short walk for tired feet... :-) A further 3 or 4 minutes past the MRT station is Clarke Quay, the nightlife centre of Singapore. 5-10 minutes in the other direction is the centre of Chinatown. In a 3rd direction the Asian Civilisations Museum is also just 10 minutes walk away. This hotel really is in the centre of everything. I would recommend it to anyone travelling to Singapore for a holiday.
- Verified traveler (4/5): - If you're looking for luxury this isn't it! The bathroom is Tiny, can barely shower in the small space, with dirt or mold in the tile. The bed is extremely hard. The pillows are the worst! The bathroom smells if you don't leave the fan on and spray room spray in there from the sewer. Free breakfast, coffee is cold, potatoes were cold and the other items (other than toast & eggs) didn't agree with my stomach. If your just looking for a place to lay your head it's relatively clean and inexpensive compared to other hotels here.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Air conditioning was not appropriate temperature. Would be nice to have a control device. Wasn't sure that the first night's sheet was clean enough as there's some sand or dust felt, needed to sweep and wipe out myself before lying a bed.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - The location of the hotel is very good. This is the second time I’ve stayed there, the first time being two years ago. The hotel is getting very run down with faults such as missing doors, jammed drawers, broken room safe, peeling paint and scuffed wallpaper. The roof area has tables and chairs but no comfortable seats or sun loungers. The fourth floor terrace appears to have comfortable seats but they were covered in laundry and couldn’t be used. The dining area is very dated. This used to be a cheap and cheerful hotel but has got a lot more expensive and doesn’t offer good value for money. It needs money spending on it to make it a nice place to stay.
- Michael (2/5): Do not stay here!! - Smelled terrible and was very dirty. Seemed quite "dodgy" ...
- Verified traveler (8/5): - I like the service. Albert, the front man was very helpful with our needs.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Location was great. Cleanliness left a lot to be imagined. Curtains had smears on them; walls had smears on them. Headend also had some black gunk on it.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - The hotel is old but the staff were welcoming and helpful. Very well situated. The breakfast could be improved by more healthy cereal options, eg. muesli, yogurt and there were no toppings except peanut butter for toast. The milk should be kept cold, not left out on the bench as the breakfast room was quite warm.
- laura (10/5): Wonderful service!. - The breakfast was excellent with buffett style, the cook was very pleasant and friendly. The rooms are clean, with air condition, the service was prompt and fine. They have a roof garden with an excellent view to Singapore City.
- Noboru (6/5): - Nice hotel location with the affordable price and services, however the facilities are aged.
- Pitan (8/5): - Nice service. Polite and helpful staffs. Close to MRT, convenient stores and restaurants. Walking distance to Merlion and China Town.
- Allen (10/5): - Excellent reasonably-priced hotel with VERY friendly and accommodating staff. Amazing location.
- Darrell (10/5): Singapore cruise back to Australia. - Good location to walk around and mrt. Great staff very helpful.
- RC (6/5): Good area close to attractions and MRT - Has all amenities for a budget overnight stay only , the room is very small.
- Tanya (4/5): Old hotel - The hotel is old and smelly , room is small , shower is ok but the floor is so wet bc the water did not drain well also smelling too much oil paint cause me had a lot of headache, lucky I was there only 2 days and one night , most of the time we went out , we only come back ther to sleep for night , hotel is close to everything.
- Jackie (6/5): - good location, bed was horrible (Asian style, really hard)
- Tushar (2/5): Not value for money and felt discriminated - This hotel needs renovation. Lot of stuff is broekn. Also felt little discriminated as every morning breakfast leady asking room number and in list it is speicly remakes indian in front of my name. Service was pathetic.
- Peter (10/5): Good choice! - Very friendly and helpful staff, clean room, good breakfast, great location.
- A (8/5): Basic room at a good price - Ok hotel if you don't mind sharing with the local ants in your room.Room was a reasonable size but in need of a makeover and a good clean.Breakfast was basic,but ok.Good location for all the local attractions.Would i stay here again?Probably not,although the staff were very friendly.This is definetley a case of getting what you pay for!!
- Ron (10/5): Great Hotel close to lots of things. - This was a nice stay for four nights. Not far from the metro (Clarke Quay was closest, then Raffles Place). Nice rooftop view ust above the 6th floor. A great place to look around in 360. Good full breakfast with several choices. Room was fine, but bed was a bit small but adequate. We would definitely stay here again.
- Grimes888 (6/5): Needs an update - The front desk staff are lovely, the room is incredibly spacious and the location is great. The room, particularly the bathroom needs an update. Not sure if all rooms had the same issue, the shower drain in mine emitted a strong, potent smell of sulfur. The bed was hard, and the pillows exceptionally firm. If you like that, you'll love the beds. Given the drawbacks, the price I paid was not value for money. The breakfast in the buffet was okay and was a good inclusion, as many food places in Singapore don't open until later in the morning. The hotel is located near lots of good eateries and a couple of nice shopping precincts. The hotel is also located on the edge of Chinatown district which was convenient. The location was great, especially for the Singapore F1. Was also able to visit a lot of sites. However did rely upon taxis as means of getting around to some further sites such as the zoo.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Close to the river - As we aren’t in the room very much we were quite happy but the place is a little tired
- Verified traveler (6/5): Old Hotel with Nice Staff - The hotel is an old one and the furniture and bathroom matches that as well. It was clean.
- Jenny (8/5): Great Location for short stay - We had an enjoyable three days in Singapore with this hotel as our base.
- Rob (4/5): Average Hotel Subpar - Hotel staff was awesome, location is great, hotel very old, housekeeping really didn't want to clean the room, morning buffet terrible
- George (8/5): Good location. Reasonable price. - I stayed in the hotel for almost a fortnight. It isn't the most modern or poshest of hotels but that is reflected somewhat in the price. The location is very good with numerous eating establishments within easy walking distance. The staff were always helpful and my stay was a pleasant one. The quality of the internet connection was never what you would call fast and for most of the time was adequate but seemed to disappear on a couple of occasions.
- David (6/5): Great Position - Hotel is very well located, close to MRT station and walking distance to some attractions. Helpful staff and good free breakfast, only downside was the room was in need of a refurbishment.
- Verified traveler (4/5): Good breakfast - We booked for a room for 4. The room is good for 1 or 2 max. Bathroom is bizarre.The supposed bathroom wall is a transparent screen that slides open from the bedroom! We stayed 1 night & had to cancel the other 3. I feel bad for the staff who are very nice indeed, especially Mr Gray- Senior Executive.
- Paul (4/5): Nice location and okay for a short stay - Stayed four nights and the hotel's deficiencies became increasingly apparent with time. The drain in the shower gave off a bad smell. And it was impossible to prevent water from the shower pooling on the bathroom floor. The breakfast cereal was so stale as to be inedible.
- Dominik (10/5): Great location - 2 minutes from Clarke Quay MRT station. A big shopping centre nearby as well as a lot of restaurants. Great views from the roof top of the hotel. Worth seeing especially in the evening. Good breakfast.
- Bohdan (6/5): Bob's break - Great location for food,chinatown,galleries etc. 2rooms booked; both stank of effluent. Changed one room,claimed they were full and short-termed continually fixed the second room for the stay duration of 7 nights. Good breakfast.
- Asif (4/5): Jayleen is not a good value for money - It was not a good experience. It is an old small building with poor cleanliness and overall average condition. They could not deliver even what they committed like coffee, mineral water etc.. They insisted to use the tap water as they considered it the best in Singapore. They were not prepared to give even an airport drop until I showed them a copy of my booking confirmation. However, location was good, breakfast was good and could be an acceptable offer for a short stay only at 50% of the amount I paid.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Jayleen 1918 lives up to its name. - The hotel definitely lived up to its name - everything looked and felt like it was still stuck in 1918. We couldn't navigate to the front door, the front desk saw us with our luggage and did not even bother to ask if we're guests. She literally stared at us until we walked in and checked in. My fiance had a 18km run in the morning and requested we had a quiet room so he could get plenty of rest, but they placed us in the room right next to the elevator. In what world is that a quiet room? When we opened the door, it felt like a closet. I was genuinely jealous of Harry Potter's room at 4 Privet Drive - even though it was literally a closet. The toilet was disgusting; we found hair in the sink, and the shower curtain was mouldy. There was a constant smell that replicated the scent of 5000 dying rats, and we were forced to smell it every single time. It never went away. We didn't know if the towels were dirty, or just a depressing shade of grey. The left a jug of "drinking water" unbeknownst to guests where and when the water was filled adding on the blasé attitude of the whole hotel. My fiance and I thought we could spend a quiet evening somewhere in the city, but it turned out to be one of the worst places we've been in. But hey. At least the aircon works and there's unrestricted access to a rooftop.
- HR (2/5): Don't go there - Arrived 9pm to be told we had been double booked and that we would have to go their sister hotel. We were escorted via the back lanes to Jayleen on New Bridge Rd. Rooms were small, decor was old fashioned and cheap. Linen and towels looked very tired. Standard of the room did not reflect the cost. Staff were not that interested in helping. No breakfast served at the new hotel. Bathroom on the ground floor flooded due to the rain.
- Fatima (4/5): Good location - It was infested with ants, bed very uncomfortable. Shower n bathroom toguether .Room does not have windows like show pictures. Good is close to train station.
- Wai Lam Carol (10/5): Great location! - The location is a plus point which link to everywhere of the town. The breakfast spread is ok
- Verified traveler (8/5): Average hotel with friendly staff - Overall clean, staff is friendly. Included healthy breakfast. About 15 minutes walk to the closest MRT station, 30 minutes walk to MBS, which you really don't want to do during the day because it's so hot. Fortunately, Uber is easy to find, though sometimes expensive because of the surge pricing.
