The pictures online were a bit misleading. When I booked for 3 people with 3 breakfasts, it showed a king-size bed with a sofa bed, but upon arrival, there was only one king-size bed. It was quite a squeeze for three of us. When we tried to communicate with the hotel, there was a Chinese-speaking woman who refused to speak Chinese, which was frustrating. We had to contact Trip.com customer service, who said there were no other rooms available. We then tried to communicate with the hotel again to ask for a sofa bed. The hotel said they would charge for it, and it worked out to be over 500 RMB per day, which for 6 days felt unreasonable. In the end, we reluctantly squeezed into one bed. Although we managed to sleep, it wasn't comfortable, and the bed was extremely soft, leaving us feeling tired. The hotel facilities are relatively new, and the room is quite large, especially the bathroom. The shower pressure was excellent, but the water flow from the sink was a bit weak – a suggestion for improvement. The hotel is about a 7-minute walk from MRT Exit 4, but getting into the station itself takes another 7 minutes or so. We used the subway for all our outings, and it was quite convenient. The hotel breakfast wasn't extensive, but it was enough to fill up on if you took your time. The omelets were delicious and made fresh. Fruits and vegetables are very expensive in Singapore supermarkets, so we tried to make the most of breakfast at the hotel, where we could enjoy plenty of fruits, vegetables, and salads. Of course, if you want to eat out, it's also very convenient. There's a Great Wall shopping mall about a 10-minute walk away with many dining options. The hotel is right next to the Singapore River. You can walk through the hotel to get to the river and then stroll along it in the evening towards Merlion Park. Along the way, you'll pass two popular Jumbo Seafood restaurants, which are delicious but quite expensive and always packed with people. There are also many other dining establishments along the way, and the night view is beautiful. Hotel prices fluctuate a lot, so keep a close eye on them, even if you've locked in a rate, it can change. It takes about 1.5 hours to get to Changi Airport by MRT. Overall, it's a decent hotel. There are a lot of foreigners staying here, and I saw many adorable foreign children. If you're looking for a spacious, modernly decorated hotel, this could be a good choice.

This was my first hotel in Singapore, and it wasn't too far from the airport. The hotel environment was great, and the service was warm and professional. The room was also quite good, clean and tidy. I was too tired from my flight that day to take pictures. The staff knew it was my birthday and had decorated the room with a cake beforehand, which was incredibly thoughtful. I would definitely choose this hotel again if I have the chance.

My stay at Marina Bay Sands Singapore was absolutely fantastic and I highly recommend it! The hotel's location is excellent, directly connected to a mall, and within walking distance of famous attractions like Gardens by the Bay and Merlion Park, making getting around incredibly convenient. Check-in was efficient, and the staff were warm and professional, providing attentive service throughout, truly reflecting a five-star hotel experience. The room was spacious and comfortable, with a modern design and immaculate cleanliness. The bed was soft, and the soundproofing was excellent, ensuring a wonderfully comfortable night's sleep. What truly impressed me most was the room's view – whether it was the city skyline or the Marina Bay night view, both were absolutely stunning. The hotel's infinity pool definitely lives up to its reputation; the views are unforgettable and it's an absolute must-visit spot when in Singapore. The breakfast spread was extensive, with a great variety of both Western and Asian options, all of which tasted delicious. Overall, everything from the environment and facilities to the service was impeccable. It was a very enjoyable and memorable stay. If I ever visit Singapore again, I will definitely choose this hotel, and I'll be recommending it to all my friends and family!

I stayed in a Deluxe Room at the Carlton Hotel Singapore. The front desk staff included Mandarin speakers, though English was the main language for daily communication. The hotel breakfast was excellent, and the room was spacious and spotlessly clean. Before my trip, I emailed the hotel to request twin beds as I was traveling with my grandmother, but upon check-in, I was given a king-sized bed. The front desk initially said they would check for availability to switch rooms at 3 PM, but this was pushed back to 5 PM, then 8:30 PM, and finally settled for 9 PM. Thankfully, the hotel called precisely at 9 PM to confirm the twin room was ready. While the back-and-forth wait for the room change was a bit of a hassle, it was eventually resolved satisfactorily. The hotel's location is exceptionally good. Directly across the street is Raffles City, and there are plenty of dining options nearby. Popular attractions like Merlion Park and Clarke Quay are just a 10-15 minute walk away. Several MRT stations and bus stops are also close by, making public transportation very convenient. Even locals I asked agreed that the hotel's location is excellent. Overall, I highly recommend staying here.

The biggest selling point of this hotel is its excellent location. It's about a 300m walk from City Hall MRT station. Many attractions like Fort Canning Park, the Old Hill Street Police Station (colorful building), Clarke Quay, St Andrew's Cathedral, and Chijmes are all within walking distance. If you don't mind walking, you can even stroll to Marina Bay Sands and Merlion Park. Plus, there's a direct connection to Changi Airport without transfers. To the right of the hotel is Funan Mall, which offers a wide variety of dining options and a supermarket where you can buy water (much cheaper than 7-Eleven!). The mall's B2 level connects directly to the MRT. Further down the road is Raffles City Shopping Centre. Overall, getting around is incredibly convenient. Since we were traveling during the summer holidays, I booked a twin room about a month and a half in advance. It cost a little over 1600 (SGD/currency implied) per night, including taxes and breakfast for two.

Facilities: The room was very small, not big enough to open two suitcases, but it did have a mini-fridge, kettle, and hairdryer. There was a microwave on each floor in the hallway, and you could get drinking water in the lobby on the first floor. Cleanliness: I stayed for two days, and there was no housekeeping service. It seems they only clean every three days. The bathroom trash can was especially small and overflowed after two days. Environment: The room was very damp, and there was a strong musty smell every time I entered. I had to turn on the air conditioning to air it out. Service: The taxi dropped us off directly on the second floor of the hotel. Self check-in was a bit confusing and there was no guidance to go to the first floor for assistance. As a result, our two rooms weren't even on the same floor. I'd recommend going directly to the front desk on the first floor for check-in; they speak basic Chinese. The room truly was super small. The hotel facilities are comparable to a budget hotel in China. They don't provide bottled water or disposable slippers. Singapore prices are definitely high; you could get a much better place in Kuala Lumpur for half the price. The hotel's location is excellent, very convenient for the subway and taxis. There are many eateries nearby. Ya Kun Kaya Toast had a long queue in the morning but was less busy in the afternoon. The Wok Hey chili pan mee next door was pretty good and suitable for Chinese palates. There's a small bar on the first floor with live music at night, creating a nice atmosphere. Overall, it's suitable for young travelers but not ideal for those traveling with children or the elderly.

The room was relatively spacious, which I really liked. The bathroom even had a bathtub, and we had a view of a church from the window. It's in a quiet location. The service was quite good, and they offered luggage storage. If you exit the hotel and turn left, you'll find the Esplanade MRT station (Exit A) on the Circle Line. There's a laundry room on the 4th floor; washing and drying costs 10 SGD, and you can get coins at the front desk on the ground floor. I didn't get to check out the pool. If you haven't booked breakfast, there are shops across from the hotel where you can grab a bite.

Facilities: All essential amenities are provided, including disposable toiletries, towels, bath towels, a hairdryer, and even a mini-fridge and an iron (though I didn't use it). The second floor offers a private space with power outlets and a desk. It's compact but sufficient; a 20-inch suitcase can be laid out on the desk, and downstairs, two 24-inch suitcases can easily be opened simultaneously. The bathroom has drinkable tap water. Cleanliness: Very clean, no insects or anything of the sort. Environment: I'm really satisfied. The hallway is very quiet, and the soundproofing is excellent; you can't hear any noise during resting hours. The air conditioning is powerful. Service: The room includes complimentary snacks, tea bags, and coffee, but beverages are extra. Every morning when I left, I’d encounter the housekeeping staff, with whom I could communicate using simple English. The front desk service is great, and they offer free luggage storage. Security is also excellent; you need to use your room key card to access your designated floor. From 3 PM to 6 PM, there's complimentary ice cream. Although breakfast isn't included, there are breakfast spots on the first floor and downstairs at the hotel opposite the All Seasons building, as well as in the mall across from the Dhoby Ghaut MRT station. Transportation is also very convenient! The MRT and bus stops are incredibly close, and Dhoby Ghaut is an interchange for three MRT lines. Bus 36, which goes directly to the airport, is also nearby (just make sure you're going in the right direction). One more important thing! Fort Canning Park is nearby, and the famous 'tree tunnel' photo spot is right downstairs from the All Seasons building! It's very easy to find, so if you arrive early, you can go take your photos right away. All in all, my trip to Singapore was made even better because of this hotel.☺️

We stayed in a rooftop room with a terrace and a fantastic view. Pros: The location is great. The shuttle stop is conveniently named 'Beach Resort', and it's also easy to get to the express station – just a short walk if you don't want to take the shuttle. It's right next to the Skyride, and not far from where you can watch the Wings of Time firework show. We met the owner at breakfast, and he was very welcoming. We had breakfast and dinner once each; they looked simple, but honestly, the taste was quite good. And the pool, no need to say, was excellent! It's also wonderful that the owner employs people with disabilities. Cons: The room, including the bathroom, was very basic, like a guesthouse. There were indeed ants, and we even saw a large mosquito, but we didn't mind too much and managed fine. The reception is on the 8th floor, and the elevators and everything else are very rudimentary. If comfort is your priority, this might not be the place for you. However, the value for money is reasonable.

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.

The room design was not very practical. The lighting was rather dim. The bathroom floor was quite slippery even when dry, so extra care is needed esp. when travelling with children or the elderly. One particularly inconvenient feature was the fridge inside the cupboard. Aside from concerns about proper heat ventilation, the cupboard door and fridge door opened in opposite directions, making the fridge difficult to access. In addition, the cupboard could not open fully because of the limited space. The beds were clean, although the room overall did not feel thoroughly cleaned. Considering the room rate, I felt the quality did not quite meet expectations. However, this impression may partly be because we had just travelled from Japan, where small spaces were often thoughtfully designed and accommodation of a similar standard was generally less expensive. On a positive note, the staff were friendly.

Overall, the room was quite small and the facilities were a bit old. The bedding was clean, no bugs or anything. However, it wasn't a duvet but more like a blanket made of a large bath towel material. Let's just say it kept me from getting cold while sleeping. The air conditioner was clunking loudly at first, but miraculously, it quieted down after I adjusted the settings – I guess I got lucky. My child left the travel adapter in the room. Several hours later, I went to the front desk, and despite my broken English, the lovely front desk staff found it for me. A quick registration and it was all sorted. The overall service was quite warm and welcoming. Staying one night was acceptable. Oh, and by the way, there's no wet/dry separation in the bathroom. If that's important to you, make sure to check before booking. Many hotels in Singapore don't have wet/dry separation, likely due to space constraints. It's within walking distance of Clarke Quay, which I recommend visiting at night – it's very close. It's also not far from the MRT station. If you're up for a walk, you can even stroll to Fort Canning Park.

My first stay at this hotel in 2024 was excellent, so I specifically chose it again for this trip, but to my surprise, the check-in experience was a huge disappointment. During check-in, the Chinese-speaking front desk staff directly assigned us a connecting room. We could hear the foreign couple next door talking and making noise crystal clear; the soundproofing was extremely poor. We were traveling with a child, and it was impossible to get any proper rest. After contacting Ctrip customer service, it took over an hour for the staff to coordinate and successfully arrange a room change. This positive review is specifically for the Ctrip customer service representative who handled our room change issue.

Our family trip to Singapore lasted a full 8 days with the kids. Although the country is smaller than a single district in Beijing, I feel like I've had a fairly in-depth experience. We stayed at four different hotels, and this was our first. It wasn't the most expensive, but I felt it offered the best service: 1. **Food & Service:** I really liked the handmade noodles at the breakfast buffet – they were quite unique. We happened to be there during National Day, and the hotel gave us a box of chocolates. They then followed up with chocolate souvenirs for two consecutive evenings. 2. **Location & Transportation:** The location was excellent. It was only a two-minute walk to catch the Duck Tour, making the exchange and boarding process very convenient. We could also easily access the Sunset Flight. Although this year's National Day fireworks weren't visible from this location, considering we had kids and didn't want to walk much, the location was still very suitable. 3. **Surrounding Amenities:** The MRT station wasn't far from the hotel, and there was a shopping mall nearby. Transportation in Singapore is also very convenient, with clear MRT maps. For getting around, we'd take the MRT whenever possible, and taxis when it wasn't. Taxi fares weren't expensive, and it felt quite worthwhile, especially with kids and a lot of luggage. If I go to Singapore again, this hotel would be my first choice. When we checked in, there were a lot of people, and our luggage took over two hours to be delivered to our room. However, after we called the front desk, they immediately followed up. This was just a minor hiccup and understandable.

Overall, I'm quite satisfied. The room size isn't huge, but the bathroom is a bit larger (the room feels similar to an Atour or Hanting in China). I booked a king room, and I was with my two children, so three of us in total. When I checked in, I requested an extra bed, which was provided free of charge – a big thumbs up! There were a few small mildew spots on the shower caddy and floor tiles, but it was acceptable. The hotel pool is really nice, with pleasant views. You'll need to speak English at the front desk (I didn't encounter anyone who spoke Chinese during check-in or check-out). There are bars and several restaurants from the first to the third floor, so the amenities are quite comprehensive. We had the buffet dinner, which was pretty good. The service attitude was excellent, so overall, I'm satisfied. I'd recommend choosing a higher floor to get a better view of the Burj Al Arab and the Ferris wheel.

It felt like a significantly upgraded capsule hotel bed, though I've never actually stayed in a capsule hotel before. However, the room was tiny. Once I opened my large suitcase, there was barely any space to move around. The shower only had a half-glass door, so if you took a vigorous shower, the floor near the toilet would get soaked. The water pressure was also incredibly weak. Shampoo and body wash were provided, but there was no conditioner. There were two USB ports for phone charging, but neither of them worked. I managed to charge my phone using an adapter I brought from Japan, but it was slow charging due to the weak current. It took about 5 hours to fully charge. I had some time before hotel check-in, so I stopped by the Priority Pass lounge at Jewel to charge my phone, which was a much more comfortable experience. The showers there were also much more luxurious. As soon as I entered the room, I found the pink lighting to be distasteful, like a love hotel. You could switch it off, but I couldn't relax at all in a pink room. The bed was plush and comfortable though, which was a plus.

Orchard Road Singapore|3.93km dari pusat bandar
This hotel in Singapore sees a lot of foot traffic. The doorman at the entrance, who was quite elderly, told me to push my luggage up the ramp myself instead of offering to help, even though I'm a woman. However, I saw him assist other foreign guests with their luggage multiple times, which made me wonder if I was overthinking it. The hotel is located at one end of Orchard Road, very close to the Botanic Gardens, which are within walking distance. While it's not very close to the MRT, there's a bus stop right outside. If you're coming from the airport, you can take a direct bus, though it takes a bit longer. The first Chinese staff member who assisted me spoke very standard Mandarin and was very easygoing. Many airline crew members stay at this hotel. The rooms are a bit small, and so are the beds. The hotel pool looks exactly like it does in the photos!

The room was ok, although small but functional. Had an unpleasant experience with the parking as there was no complimentary parking and to make it worse, you had to park at level 2 to be eligible for the $10 overnight parking. Otherwise, the parking is a lot more expensive. We ended up paying $37. They should have put some notice to inform guests who need to park to go to level 2. Will not want to come back to stay anymore

Convenient location. Glad that our room was on the highest floor and spacious for 3 adults.  However, we saw our room ceiling covered with mould the next morning. The mould fell on the carpet, really disgusting.  We Only stayed 1 night, otherwise would have requested to change room.  Aircon fan is very loud, might affect light sleeper.

The rooms were spacious and the beds were really soft and comfy. Breakfast was pretty average. One thing they could really work on is the signage in the carpark; the colour markings on the lots can be inconsistent and the fact that there was only a tad small bit of signage made navigating to the lift lobby from our lot to be a little annoying. We thought we parked at a red lot since the lot we parked in had a orange-red outline. They made us shift our car at 12am in the morning because apparently its not the correct lots that we were allowed to park in, which was a pain.

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.

Before checking in, I have to send them my ID copy and a deposit to be bank transferred. 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.

The only downside was that the shared facilities could have been better maintained, and it could get a little noisy at night due to other guests.

At this price point, having breakfast included is a significant advantage. While the variety is modest, the quality is more than sufficient for a good start to the day.

This is a nice apartment hotel with no room service nor lobby, suitable for families especially with kids. The place is clean when we checked in, and the diy checkin is quite intuitive wth good instructions. For its price during non-peak, there’s little to complain. When it comes to peak though, prices soars, and the number of guests creates a jam at the lift access to the 39 floor apartment rooms. During our stay, one lift was down and with only 3/4 lifts, the waiting time during checkin and checkout is very very long. Hot water the shower is centralised and not reliable at all. Due to its proximity to KSL Mall, size of the room, and its good price during non-peak, its a recommend, but don’t expect perfection here.

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.
