Decided to stay for one night last minute and just picked a random hotel. I asked the front desk for their price and then compared it with Ctrip, and since Ctrip had a better deal, I booked through them. The check-in process was quick and efficient, and guests can also park for free. Our twin room actually had one large bed and one small bed, which was perfect for a family of three. The bathroom was quite spacious, and the shower area wasn't small either. The only downside was the poor soundproofing. The bed was comfortable though, and it was excellent value for money!

Really nice room! Many facilities available such as a snackbar, swimming pool, gym & laundry services. The only downside was that the water easily leaked from the shower area and would almost flood the floor outside. The water also took quite long to dry. The breakfast buffet was really good. They had a Roti making station, DIY noodle station & DIY porridge station. The eggs cooked at the egg station were perfect, honestly one of the best eggs i've had. Only thing missing here were hashbrowns! Location is really close to the checkpoint however due to the construction all around the checkpoint, it is really hard to walk around. Had to take a grab from the checkpoint despite it being so close. Overall experience was really good, would stay again.

The location is right next to CQ @ Clarke Quay, which is very convenient if you're traveling in Singapore and just need a place to sleep at night. It's perfect for budget travelers. However, the hotel isn't on the main street, so it can be a bit tricky to find with luggage if you're relying on Google Maps. Make sure to find Haidilao Hot Pot and take the elevator up from there. You'll be right at the hotel entrance. The hotel's cleanliness is acceptable; for a place with high occupancy, it's maintained to a good standard. The air conditioning is nice and cool, and the bed is quite soft. With earplugs, you can get a good night's sleep. Overall, it's worth the price and much better than other Singapore hotels in the same category. Plus, there's a free water dispenser.

Limitations and Challenges

Source: Tain 36

While the KTM Shuttle Tebrau is highly efficient, it also comes with several limitations that travellers should consider when planning their journey between Johor Bahru and Singapore. Each train has a limited capacity of approximately 320 passengers, which contributes to high demand and frequent sell-outs. The service operates on a fixed schedule, offering little flexibility for travellers who require spontaneous or last-minute travel options. In addition, passengers must adhere to strict boarding procedures, including arriving early to complete immigration and security checks.

Limitation	Description
Limited Capacity	Approximately 320 seats per train
High Demand	Tickets sell out quickly, especially during peak periods
Fixed Schedule	Limited flexibility with predetermined departure times
Strict Timing	Requires early arrival and adherence to boarding deadlines
Last-Minute Travel	Not suitable due to limited availability and high demand

The service may not be suitable for those who prefer flexible travel arrangements or are unable to commit to a specific departure time.

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.

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.

I had booked two months in advance, and at check-in, the front desk even specifically mentioned the requests I made in my booking email and assigned the room accordingly – truly excellent! The room was very clean and spacious; even with two 26-inch suitcases open, there was still plenty of room. The bedding didn't feel damp or anything, and I slept very comfortably until morning. The hotel's location is excellent; you can walk to several popular attractions nearby. Downstairs, there are plenty of dining options, and the metro and bus lines are also very convenient.

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.

My stay at Studio M Hotel Singapore was a mixed experience that balanced comfort with a frustrating service encounter. On the positive side, the rooms are thoughtfully designed and stand out from typical city hotels. The loft-style layout gives a sense of space that feels both modern and functional, especially for a short stay. The bed was comfortable, the room was clean, and the overall aesthetic had a sleek, contemporary vibe that makes it appealing for both business and leisure travelers. The location is also a strong advantage. Situated along the Singapore River, it offers easy access to dining spots and is within reasonable distance of key areas like Clarke Quay. It’s convenient enough without being right in the middle of the noise, which I appreciated. However, the experience was let down by the lack of flexibility from the front desk staff. During check-in, I did not have my IC or passport on hand, and while I understand the need for verification, the handling of the situation felt unnecessarily rigid. There was little effort to explore alternative solutions or offer reassurance, which made the process more stressful than it needed to be. In a hospitality setting, a bit of understanding and problem-solving goes a long way, and this was noticeably lacking. That said, once past the check-in issue, the rest of the stay was relatively smooth. The facilities were decent, and housekeeping maintained a good standard throughout. Overall, Studio M delivers well on comfort, design, and location, but the service experience—particularly at the front desk—could benefit from a more guest-centric approach. It’s a great place to stay if everything goes according to plan, but if you run into any hiccups, be prepared for a by-the-book response rather than a flexible one.

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.
