I was too tired from all the activities to check out the pool this time, but I'll definitely give it a try next time. The water looked really clean, and the hotel itself is quite large. The driver told me this hotel is very popular and gets fully booked quickly during peak season.

First time visit to Singapore. Lovely hotel. Great location, bonus of an outdoor pool that we used early one morning. Rooms very clean, beds super comfy. Immaculately clean. All staff super friendly and helpful with recommendations and directions. Concierge’s always available to sort taxis and help too. Didn’t book breakfast as do many food options close by. Nice touch was at check in they brought out birthday muffins, not just for me but for my two teenagers too. Great introduction.What’s not to love? Will be back.

We had a wonderful stay at Marina Bay Sands! The hotel is beautiful, the rooms were comfortable, and the service was excellent. A special thank you to Mr. Simon from the Front Desk for the smooth check-in and warm welcome, and to Ms. Trish from Guest Relations for her kindness and outstanding service. They made our stay even more memorable, especially as we celebrated our grandmother’s 89th birthday. We truly enjoyed our stay and look forward to coming back!

This is an honest review of Carlton Hotel Singapore, where my mother and I stayed in the second week of August! I'll summarize what I felt during my stay. Floor: I requested a high floor when booking, but unfortunately, it wasn't accommodated, and we were assigned the 8th floor. However, the room condition was pleasant, so we didn't experience much inconvenience during our stay. Bed Type: The room type was an Executive Room. We requested twin beds so my mom and I could sleep comfortably, and they provided a room with two beds, which was perfect. The bedding was fresh, and the mattress was soft, so we slept soundly every night. Deposit & Cancellation Period: A deposit of $200 (SGD) is authorized upon check-in. Even if you use paid services, they are not deducted from the deposit; you pay for them separately upon check-out. It's been about 3 days since we checked out, and the deposit cancellation hasn't been processed yet, likely because it's an overseas authorization. It usually takes a few days to 1-2 weeks depending on the card company, so it's best to wait patiently. Bathroom & Amenities: Toothpaste and toothbrushes were provided, and shampoo, body wash, and conditioner were well-stocked, which we used comfortably throughout our stay. A hairdryer was also available. Cleaning & Refill: If you press the 'Please Clean Up' switch in the room, they will clean the room and replenish water, towels, toothpaste, and toothbrushes generously every time. Tip for Bedding Change: If you want to have the bed sheets completely changed, make sure to place the green sign provided in the room on the bed, and they will replace them with fresh bedding. Upon arriving at night, the magnificent glass chandelier stretching across the lobby ceiling immediately caught my eye. The high ceiling and luxurious feel made a great first impression. The swimming pool is quite small. However, Singapore's weather is extremely hot and humid, so people were constantly in the water regardless of the time of day. It was sufficient for cooling down and chilling out lightly during the day or evening. Gym: Across the swimming pool, there's a gym. It was clean and a simple hotel gym, perfect for a light workout. Breakfast/Hotel Dining: I didn't book breakfast because of the pressure to wake up early to eat breakfast when traveling. Instead of using the hotel's breakfast, lunch, or dinner buffets, we creatively handled our meals with delivery food and restaurants in nearby shopping malls. Raffles City Shopping Mall: The Raffles City shopping mall right next to the hotel was incredibly convenient! The restaurant and food court options were so good that we often went to Raffles City for our meals during our stay. Room Service: On the first night, we arrived at the hotel around 10-11 PM and were tired, so we ordered room service. The food tasted really delicious and satisfying, but as expected with Singapore prices, it was quite expensive. The taste is guaranteed, so it might be nice to use it once for a treat! Location & Transportation: On the map, I thought Merlion Park was within walking distance, but Singapore's August weather was hotter and more humid than I imagined, so walking was definitely not an option. Instead, there were well-located bus stops near the hotel, and we consistently took buses to major attractions, including Merlion Park. The routes were so well-established that we got around very conveniently. When it's hot, always use public transport! This was a trip with my mom, and thanks to the nearby shopping mall, meals were convenient. Overall, it was a satisfying hotel stay. I recommend it to anyone looking for a well-located accommodation in the heart of Singapore.

You can check in at the front desk on the L floor in advance, then store your luggage on the ground floor lobby and go out to explore. Come back after 3 PM to pick up your room key, and staff will deliver your luggage to your room. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 The room air conditioning is very noisy. Even with it on the lowest setting and wearing noise-canceling earbuds, it's still very loud. The hotel's location is excellent, very close to popular attractions like the 'tree hole' (Gardens by the Bay Supertrees) and Merlion, all within walking distance. It's also very convenient to get to Universal Studios, taking only about half an hour.

Formerly the G hotel, the location is pretty good. However, the room is quite small. There's no separate wet and dry area in the bathroom, no slippers, no mini-fridge, and no bottled water. The breakfast is a buffet, but the selection is rather limited. I've also stayed at Ibis, Mercure, and Hotel G. on Bugis. Ibis has the best breakfast and is more comfortable. When I stayed at Mercure years ago, there were always two cans of beer in the fridge every day. The biggest advantage of Hotel G. is its proximity to the MRT.

The room was spacious, and the staff cleaned it thoroughly every day. Free cold water was available in the hallway, and the hot water supply was excellent. Compared to other hotels, it offered great value for money. Public transport, including buses and the MRT, was accessible right outside. Within about 300 meters, you could find Ya Kun Kaya Toast and Toast Box. It's also conveniently located next to SMU, with a church nearby, and the overall environment is very pleasant.

Location very close to Lavender MRT station just below the hotel within minute you can reach there. Fare price shops, toast box and burger king also located near the hotel. Specially if anyone searching Indian food Mr K Prata also walking distance. Laundry service available at the 4th floor. You can collect coins from reception. Almost forgot about the pool. Huge pool available at the 4th floor and small gym as well. Very satisfied and highly recommended this place to anyone.

The room layout is smart and modern, and it's very clean. The service was excellent – the staff were enthusiastic and helpful, even though they didn't speak Chinese, English communication was perfectly fine. The air conditioning in the hotel is incredibly powerful; there's a noticeable difference between indoors and outdoors. I also noticed a subtle, pleasant fragrance on the first floor.

The hotel is great. The elevators are quite large and fast, so you never have to wait long. The rooms are cleaned thoroughly and promptly. The bed in the room is big and has just the right firmness. There's plenty of space in the room, easily enough for 6-7 large suitcases. Within about a 10-minute walk, you can reach a large shopping mall, or a 5-minute walk will get you to a food court where you can grab breakfast. The hotel is very close to both bus and metro stations, and it only takes about 20 minutes to get to the city center, making its location very convenient. The front desk service is also excellent. The hotel has a pool and a gym, so the facilities are good.

The loft room was perfect for a family of three with an older child! Loft 2 had a sofa bed on the second floor, which was a bit short – my 160cm tall feet just reached the edge. The swivel chair was also on the second floor, so on the first floor, you could only sit on the bed. However, the floor space was huge! We could fully open a 28-inch and a 20-inch suitcase without obstructing movement, which is incredibly practical in space-constrained Singapore! The loft was far from the elevator, so it was very quiet, and the air conditioning didn't blow directly on us. The bathroom water temperature was stable, and they provided conditioner and hand soap. The room amenities were also excellent, with a power outlet and a USB port on both the first floor and the loft that could directly accommodate Chinese plugs. The desk lamp in the loft even had a phone back-charging function – so convenient! There was a mini-fridge with free drinks and snacks replenished daily, and complimentary ice cream in the lobby from 3-6 PM. The front desk service was prompt, and there were Chinese-speaking staff at the front desk and in the restaurant during the day. The hotel's location is superb! It's only about a 300-meter walk to Dhoby Ghaut MRT station, which is an interchange for three lines, making it incredibly convenient to get to all the attractions! In particular, Fort Canning Tree Tunnel is just a 10-minute walk away, so you can go early to avoid crowds and take photos at your leisure. Exit F of the MRT station leads to a large shopping mall with POPMART, Daiso, anime stores, many restaurants, and a local affordable supermarket, making dining and shopping very convenient. Citadines added wonderful memories to our 5-day Singapore trip! Highly recommended!!!

The hotel's environment is truly exceptional. Check-in is on the 8th floor, and the ground floor provides direct access to the restaurant and the beach. Right outside, there's a beach tram shuttle service that takes you to Beach Station MRT in just two stops, or about a 5-10 minute walk. During our stay, there was a beachside barbecue market starting at 2 PM every afternoon, which was when the shuttle service stopped. We stayed on the 5th floor, and the swimming pool was right outside our door. The kids absolutely loved it! There were also swings and a seesaw, and we even spotted a hammock while walking around. However, I can't help but mention the ants. There were always tiny ants on the bedsheets, which might be due to the area being so close to nature.

Right next to Wild Wild Wet, my kids, who weren't very enthusiastic at first, became super excited once they saw the facilities. Being able to get to the ocean quickly and encountering wildlife we don't usually see was also a plus. We had trouble because there was no tissue or drinking water (though you can buy it at the shop), and while there's nothing that can be done about it, I was surprised by how ants appeared out of nowhere. I don't think we left any ant-attracting food out, but perhaps something happened. Despite these minor issues, the location was excellent, and the room was clean. I think this is a great hotel for families with small children.

Very nice Club King room and the Club Lounge is nice and decent though a bit small in space. Food offerings is good although can have more varieties as well. I have requested for late check out and the Front of House staff name Daniella was very helpful and try to accommodate my request as well!

The hotel's location is good, about an 8-10 minute walk from Bugis MRT station, with plenty of dining options nearby. Across from the hotel is a green space, which is actually an Islamic cemetery, so those who mind should consider carefully.

If you are looking for a convenient and comfortable stay in Singapore, V Hotel Bencoolen is a solid choice—especially for travelers who prioritize specific amenities and easy access to local facilities. What I Loved: Bidet Available in Room: Finding a room equipped with a bidet sprayer in Singapore can be a challenge, so having one in the bathroom was a massive plus for me. It added a high level of comfort and convenience that made the stay feel much more accommodating to my personal needs. Prime Location near Mosques: The location is exceptionally convenient. It is situated within easy walking distance of local mosques (such as Bencoolen Mosque), making daily prayers and exploring the surrounding cultural sites entirely hassle-free. What Could Be Improved: Breakfast Selection: The only downside of my stay was the breakfast options. The buffet included pork bacon, which was a bit of a drawback for my dietary preferences. If you strictly require Halal-certified or pork-free dining, you might want to consider opting out of the hotel breakfast and exploring the numerous nearby Halal eateries instead. Verdict:

THIS HOTEL IS CYLINDRICAL BECAUSE THEY'VE CUT EVERY CORNER! I really wanted to like this hotel. The location is excellent and the pool and surrounding gardens are genuinely lovely. Unfortunately, what started out as a promising stay (from the photos) turned into one of the most unsettling hotel experiences I've ever had. On my second night, at around 10pm, I encountered two men entering the rooftop pool on the 3rd floor. They asked me to hold the door open as I was returning to my room next door after a moonlit swim because they were laden with several carrier bags. I thought they were staff. The following morning, around 8am, I returned for a sunrise swim and recognised the same two men. They appeared to have spent the night sleeping on the sun loungers. They were smoking and drinking - polishing off an entire bottle of whisky at around 10am. There was no staff presence and seemingly nobody had checked the pool area for approximately 12 hours. I didn't feel safe swimming and reported what I had found to reception. Rather than feeling reassured, I was interrogated by reception staff and told there was no manager on duty. Their reaction was remarkably casual - they seemed fairly nonplussed, simply saying, ”We'll send someone up.” What concerned me most is that the lifts are not guest-card activated, meaning anyone entering the bustling hotel lobby can gain access to all guest floors. My room was on the third floor, adjacent to the pool. I later asked reception about the men. ”Oh yes, they're gone now.” No apparent apology, concern or urgency and still no manager available. When I left the following day, I specifically asked to speak to a manager and, once again, there was nobody on duty. Unfortunately, lax security and two unidentified men bedding down for the night at the pool wasn't the only problem. The thin mattress was so old and worn that the coiled springs were digging into my back, hips and elbows. The bedding was a scratchy brown blanket rather than a proper duvet. An enormous construction site next door started work at exactly 8am every day. The pool itself has seen better days. The sun loungers were worn, tired, smelly and in need of replacement. Even the blue pool slide advertised by the hotel was bone dry and completely out of use. There was no drinking water provided. When I asked for a bottle for the first night, I was told no. When I asked about a filtered water tap, I was told no - I could boil the kettle, drink the bathroom water or go to 7-Eleven. Their lackadaisical response was borderline laughable! One final warning for non-smokers: cigarette smoke is a significant issue. The Level 2 corridors are thick with smoke which permeates the hotel. If you are sensitive to smoke, I recommend requesting Level 3 or above, which benefits from an open atrium allowing air to circulate. Smoking around the pool was also constant during my stay. The Wi-Fi was patchy and there was absolutely no Wi-Fi around the pool. The irony is that the hotel has a beautiful rooftop pool and an excellent location. I gave both 5/5 because they genuinely deserve it. But I gave the service 1/5 because the lack of security, staff presence and management response left me deeply uncomfortable as a solo traveller. There wasn't a single corner of this hotel where I didn't feel like something had been cut back and, by the end, I couldn't help wondering whether I'd inadvertently booked myself into a budget youth hostel rather than a 3.5-star hotel, as advertised. What makes this all such a shame is the hotel's potential. With its riverside views, excellent location, beautiful rooftop pool and gardens, this could be an exquisite venue with a complete refurbishment and, crucially, the right management team. The bones are there - it just desperately needs care, investment and proper management. Beautiful location. Lovely pool. Enormous potential. Very uncomfortable stay.

Pretty good location where it’s within walking distance from Bugis MRT, Nicoll Highway MRT and Lavender MRT stations. Near to hotspot cafes in Arab Street and Haji Lane, lots of cafes around for good coffee and food. Hotel room itself was not too bad. Comfortable for one night/short stay. Though you can hear what is happening along the corridor despite having door closed and locked (people walking/running, talking/laughing… all can be heard clearly). Door latch in room was not in working condition too. Requested for a quiet room on level 2 with windows via Trip.com, front desk claims they did not receive any request. Generally, decent.

The idea of a bathroom with a city view was interesting, and I was pleasantly surprised by the second-level loft bed for a child – it's very convenient, thank you! The double bed that expands is pure high-tech; I'm thrilled! The breakfasts were incredibly delicious, truly. All the activity zones were beautiful: the pool, restaurant, and gym.

Was disappointed with the closure of the infinity pool but my hubby was told during check-in that a notice was put up in website although I don’t see it here during booking. :( Came here 2 years before, but I stayed at Outpost. Loved the pool experience, hence decided to return but trying a different hotel. The pools we used this morning were great, looked clean Except for the one in the middle, water looked “milky” and murky, I feedback to the front desk after we checked out. Showed the girl, Farah pic, not sure if there’s any follow up. Otherwise, pools were great plus the guy who did the workout and dance with the guests. Posted the pics and u can see the differences for yourself, the clarity of the water. For the room, I am not sure when’s the last time they thoroughly vacuum or mop their floor in the room as the room is not carpeted. I saw a lot of stains and hairballs in the corners… No view and it’s just a very basic room, small for us to stay 1 night.

I used the luggage storage service on both my check-in and check-out days, and the bellhops were incredibly kind, leaving a great impression. On my check-out day, when I went to pick up my luggage after sightseeing, I got caught in a sudden downpour. The staff told me, 'If you still have time before your flight, please feel free to rest in the lobby until the rain stops. It usually clears up in about 30-40 minutes.' This allowed me to avoid moving around in the heavy rain. The room was spacious enough to open my suitcase, and the cleaning was very thorough. The only minor downsides were that the water purifier and showerhead hook seemed old and weren't fixed securely, so I had to be a bit careful when using them. However, the air conditioning, which I was initially worried about, was adjustable, and I had a comfortable two-night stay. The hotel is right next to a subway station, with a bus stop nearby, and a shopping center and Clarke Quay are within walking distance, which was very convenient.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Wonderful Stay in the Heart of Marina Bay I absolutely loved my stay at PARKROYAL COLLECTION Marina Bay! The location is fantastic — right in the centre of everything and very convenient for both business and leisure. It is directly connected to Marina Square, with Suntec City and Millenia Walk also within easy walking distance, so finding food, shopping and getting around was incredibly easy. The breakfast was delicious and definitely worth trying. There was a great variety of choices, and I really enjoyed having so many options each morning. I also tried the room service, and the food was surprisingly good — definitely a great option after a long day. The room was huge, very clean and comfortable, with a beautiful and unique interior. I particularly loved the hotel's design — it has such a distinctive character, with many beautiful details that are definitely worth taking photos of. The view from the room was also lovely, and having the balcony to enjoy the view was a really nice bonus. It was especially relaxing to come back after a long day, sit back and enjoy the view from the room. Overall, I had a really enjoyable and comfortable stay. Great location, beautiful design, spacious rooms, lovely views and excellent food. I would definitely stay here again on my next trip to Singapore!

This was a truly fantastic staycation planned to celebrate my parents’ wedding anniversary, and it turned out to be such a memorable experience for all of us. ❤️ From the moment we arrived, the entire service team — from the front desk and concierge to housekeeping and the F&B lounge team — was warm, friendly, knowledgeable, and consistently attentive. Their genuine hospitality made us feel very welcomed and well taken care of throughout our stay. We were delighted to be given a beautiful room with the best Marina view. To make the occasion even more special, we were pleasantly surprised with a complimentary anniversary cake waiting in our room, along with complimentary drinks and amenities in the fridge as Club Lounge guests. These thoughtful touches truly made our celebration extra meaningful. The hotel’s location is also extremely convenient, right in the downtown area. Marina Bay Sands is just a short 5-minute train ride away, making it easy for us to explore and enjoy the surrounding attractions. The Club Lounge offered a wonderful international spread with a good variety of food and beverages. We particularly appreciated the diverse drinks selection, ranging from refreshing wellness drinks to signature cocktails, ensuring there was something for everyone to enjoy. A big thank you to the entire team as well as special shoutout to Ramyah and Steve (from Club Lounge) for the exceptional hospitality, thoughtful service, and wonderful experience. You made my parents’ wedding anniversary celebration even more special, and we truly appreciate all the little details that made our stay so memorable. We will definitely look forward to returning for another wonderful stay! ❤️

Overall, my stay was great. The hotel is conveniently located, making it easy to get around. The room was clean and tidy with complete amenities, and the soft bedding made for a very comfortable sleep. The bathroom had a separate wet and dry area, and the hot water supply was stable. The staff were enthusiastic, polite, and responsive. Breakfast offered a good variety of options and tasted decent. The environment was quiet, ensuring a good night's rest. It offers good value for money, and I would definitely prioritize this hotel for my next visit.

From the moment we arrived, the bellhop helping with luggage, to the staff guiding us through check-in, and even the email notification that our room was ready – the warmth and attentiveness were palpable. Plus, the breakfast was fantastic, with a wide variety of cuisines. I would definitely choose The Ritz-Carlton again for my next visit; it truly is a prime choice.

Aside from being a ten-minute walk to the MRT station, taking nearly an hour to get to Sentosa (walking plus MRT), and the AC blowing directly on my head, there aren't many downsides. The cleanliness was decent, and the bathroom had a separate wet and dry area. My child mentioned seeing ants in the bathroom, but I'm nearsighted so I didn't spot them. There are many eateries nearby, including the famous frog porridge. In the mornings, you can even see several crates of large, vibrant green, lively frogs displayed outside their shop. If you accidentally disturb them, they all jump around.

I arrived well after midnight, completely exhausted after my trip. If you’re arriving at Terminal 3 late at night, I personally wouldn’t recommend this hotel because it isn’t the most convenient option after a long journey. However, if you’re arriving during the day or in the afternoon, I think it’s a good choice. Unfortunately, I ran into a small issue in my room. The TV wouldn’t turn off because the remote control wasn’t working properly. One staff member initially seemed a little frustrated and focused on explaining the hotel’s procedures. At that moment, I was extremely tired, hot from Singapore’s humid weather, and honestly just wanted to get some sleep rather than discuss the situation. In the end, the only solution was to unplug the TV from the power socket, which the staff helped me do. Once he realized that was the only way to turn it off, the situation quickly settled down. Thankfully, after that, everything changed. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and I fell into a deep sleep almost immediately. The staff I met the following morning were also very kind, friendly, and helpful, which left me with a much better impression. Overall, my stay had a rough start, but it ended on a positive note. If you’re arriving during the day, I think this hotel is a solid option. If you’re arriving at Terminal 3 in the middle of the night, though, you may want to consider a hotel that’s closer or easier to reach.e

The room was spacious, comfortable and perfect for our little birthday getaway. 🎂🥂 The hotel also prepared complimentary birthday macarons, which was such a sweet touch and made the celebration even more special. ❤️ A special shout-out to Ivan, who was extremely helpful and patient in assisting us with the registration as we didn’t bring our physical IDs. He made the check-in process smooth and hassle-free. Thank you, M Social Singapore, for making my husband’s birthday staycation extra special!

Amari Hotel Stay Had a pleasant stay at Amari Hotel. The rooms were spacious, the bed was really comfortable, and the breakfast spread was excellent — lots of variety and everything we tried was delicious. The hotel is within walking distance to JBCC Mall, which is very convenient. Just a heads-up that City Square is currently closed for renovation, so that may affect your plans. One downside is the traffic around the hotel lobby area, which can get quite congested due to the ongoing construction. At night, some roads leading back to the hotel are also closed, so you may need to take a different route. Overall, a comfortable stay with great rooms and a very good breakfast. Would definitely consider staying here again once the surrounding construction and road closures are sorted out.

I especially liked the apartment-style layout and the kitchenette, which made the room feel more like a home rather than a typical hotel room. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom was spacious, and the room was well equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay. The facilities were also great, especially the swimming pool, gym and laundry facilities. The staff were friendly, welcoming and helpful throughout my stay. Check-in and check-out were smooth, and the overall service made the experience even better. The location is also convenient, especially for those travelling between Johor Bahru and Singapore. It is close to JB Sentral and CIQ, although depending on the current road conditions, walking may not always be the most convenient option. Overall, I had a very comfortable and enjoyable stay. Spacious room, good facilities, friendly service and a convenient location. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend Capri by Fraser Johor Bahru! 😊

At least 8 out of 10 starts for this experience. Pros: Excellent location, right above the R&F mall. Kitchen is complete with adequate kitchenware. Comfortable stay for a 1-bedroom apartment. Felt very cosy (attached photo). Easy enough to check in and out following whatsapp directions for the mailbox. Customer service was responsive with my questions. Also the price for 1 night was excellent at only about $61 SGD, and this seems to be the cheapest among all 1 bedroom offerings on Trip.com for R&F Princess Cove. Cons: On a minor note, air-conditioner in the living room was a bit loud (some noise) but otherwise worked fine. I did not use the oven in the kitchen but there was a sign saying it was not to be used. The most unfortunate part of the stay was small bugs/cockroaches in the kitchen/toilet area, I otherwise would have given it a 10/10 for my stay there. I don't believe it is a hygiene issue though as the rooms were observed to be clean, not sure where the bugs are coming from but there is spray provided.

One of our favourite hotel choices for a short getaway to JB! 😊 Holiday Villa is conveniently located near shopping malls, eateries and massage options, making it really convenient for a relaxing weekend trip. It’s definitely even more worth it when you manage to snag a good deal on Trip.com too! ✨ One thing to take note of if you’ve already prepaid your booking online: do double-check the charges with the front desk during check-in. In our case, we were asked to pay the tourist tax again even though we had already paid it online. A deposit is understandable, but it’s worth checking to make sure you’re not paying the same charge twice. For the bathroom, our room had a handheld shower attached to the bathtub, so showering meant having to stand in the bathtub. We noticed that quite a bit of water could spill onto the bathroom floor, and there didn’t seem to be a proper floor trap to drain it quickly. It may be useful to request a few extra floor towels to help absorb the water and keep the floor dry. Overall, we had a pleasant stay and would definitely consider Holiday Villa again for a convenient JB weekend getaway! 🌴✨

The location is great, very convenient for driving to Sutera Mall and nearby areas. It's a quiet hotel nestled in a bustling area. There are also plenty of food options nearby, like R&C, Ah Shui Durian, and Yu Xiao Er. If you don't have a car, there's a large food court downstairs that's open very late; I once saw it still lit up past midnight when I returned to the hotel. Next to the hotel, there's also an indoor badminton court and a McDonald's (inside the petrol station), so it's super convenient overall. The hotel also has pools for both kids and adults, a gym, and a conference room. The biggest advantage of this hotel is the incredible water pressure – showering is a real pleasure. I've stayed here 5 times already and will definitely keep coming back.

⭐Overall, a better stay than expected for a one night stopover. The rooms are a little old, but they were clean and generally well maintained. The bed and pillows were comfortable enough, and for a one night stay, we had no complaints about the room. If you are coming mainly for the hot spring, do take note of the opening hours. It was only available from 6pm to 10pm, which felt like a strange timing since most people would probably be out for dinner between 6pm and 8pm. That leaves quite a small window to enjoy it. Since we were only staying for one night, we ended up missing the hot spring entirely, which was a pity. Breakfast buffet was interesting. At first glance, it looked like there were a lot of choices, although many were actually the same few dishes with the ingredients or condiments separated into different sections. Still, I really enjoyed the nasi lemak and prata. I especially liked that they kept the prata warm, so it was still nice to eat. Overall, the resort was clean, comfortable and surprisingly pleasant despite being in a quieter, less popular area. A decent option for a simple overnight stay. Just check the hot spring timing beforehand if that is your main reason for visiting.

When I checked in, the front desk staff told me I had to pay a 10 ringgit tax per night. I was pretty sure I had already paid, so I contacted Trip.com to confirm, and they told me I didn't need to pay it. I sorted it out with the staff and managed to check in. But then, in the early hours of the morning, someone suddenly entered my room without knocking, pulled up the blinds without permission, and started arguing loudly.

This was my second time staying at New York Hotel. This time, I stayed in a Family Room. We originally had three people, and after added an extra bed. The price was still quite reasonable, and breakfast was included, which was a good value. The breakfast was one of the highlights of my stay. There were many choices, including local Malaysian favourites such as roti prata, nasi lemak, porridge, and more. I really enjoyed having so many different options. My favourite part of the hotel is definitely the indoor swimming pool. The hotel also has a gym and jacuzzi, which are great facilities for relaxing and enjoying some downtime. The Family Room was very spacious, and the view was beautiful. The location is also convenient, making it easy to get around and access nearby places. However, there are still some areas that need improvement. The shower mat was quite dirty, which was disappointing. Also, out of the three towels provided, two of them had a very strong unpleasant smell. I hope the hotel can pay more attention to the cleanliness and freshness of the towels and bathroom items. Another thing I found inconvenient was that there were only two charging sockets in the room, and one of them was located in the bathroom. For a family room, I think having more charging points would be much more convenient for guests. Overall, I still enjoyed my stay because of the spacious room, beautiful view, good breakfast, indoor swimming pool, gym and jacuzzi. However, I hope the hotel can improve the cleanliness of the bathroom items, the smell of the towels, and provide more convenient charging points.

It is the first time I encountered such requirements in my Trip.com stays, and I do not have a local bank account (as a foreign visitor). This is a bit annoying from my perspective and I told them. Luckily at least they waived the deposit for I stay only one night. Once I got into the room, I was welcomed by a cockroach. Later during stay I had two other cockroaches visiting (or they actually reside there, not sure). I believe there is some pest control work that needs to be done.

Large Amounts of Cash

Singapore Dollar Cash

Singapore requires travellers to declare large amounts of cash when entering the country. If a traveller carries more than SGD 20,000 or its equivalent in foreign currency, it must be declared to Singapore customs authorities upon arrival. This rule helps prevent illegal financial activities such as money laundering. Failure to declare large sums of money may result in penalties.

Punishment for Bringing Prohibited Items into Singapore

Legal warning.

Legal warning.

Singapore enforces strict penalties for travellers who attempt to bring prohibited or restricted items into the country. In less serious cases, the items may simply be confiscated and the traveller may receive a warning, especially if it is a first-time or minor offence. However, more serious violations involving large quantities of banned goods or repeated offences can lead to heavy penalties.

Fines for such offences can reach up to S$100,000, and offenders may face imprisonment of up to five years, particularly if authorities suspect the goods were intended for sale in Singapore. Because Singapore places strong emphasis on biosecurity, public health, and environmental protection, travellers are strongly advised to follow all import regulations when crossing the border.

To avoid problems at the checkpoint, travellers should review the latest guidelines from Singapore authorities before travelling. Checking official information sources helps ensure that items purchased in Johor Bahru can be legally brought into Singapore.
