Strand Hotel Singapore

Good location next to Bencoolen metro and bus station, also to Singapore Management University and the National Museum. The room was ok, but the bathroom needs a renovation with a proper shower and not an old bath. But overall, I'll be back because of the value for money and the location.

We were delighted to have free upgrade. The facilities in the room were great for both business and family travelers. The bathroom/toilet was clean and the water pressure for shower was strong. It was quiet at night and the mattresses were good for back support. The location is superb, next to MRT and there are bus stops within 50m. The only disadvantage was the stairs in front of the hotel which we had to carry our luggages up till the main entrance, as the electrical stair lift was not in operation.

Daily housekeeping. Safe. Clean. Best location for Mrt and bus station accessibility. Only downside is that the front area has no Ramp for strollers.

Pros A great location for exploring Chinatown and Little India. The hotel is also close to the Esplanade and Promenade, with many other places nearby. Beautiful Fort Canning Park is within walking distance, as are the National Museum of Singapore and the National Gallery. The hotel was perfectly situated for the Formula 1 event. Many attractions are within a 30-minute walk or a 10-minute MRT ride. The beautiful SMU campus is also close by. The room is spacious by Singapore standards—simple but comfortable, with a table and two chairs. The view from the window offers a great perspective of downtown. Cons: The price was very high during the Formula 1 event. The air conditioning blows directly on the bed. You need to switch it to fan mode (the icon with a fan in a circle) to sleep comfortably.

Located right in front of the Downtown Line station on Bencoolen Street. I was upgraded to a room equipped with an iron and ironing board—nice touch. Everything’s great, with plenty of restaurants in the neighborhood that stay open 24/7. The room is well insulated and stays comfortably cool even when the air conditioning is turned off. Only two stops to Chinatown.

Great. Cot mattress is abit thin and no extra pillows. Wish there’s a standing stool for kids to brush teeth. Also my 5yo boy wondered abt those pics on the door which is abit disturbing. Glad room is a decent size and clean. Coffee and drinks provided. Service excellent and help us w luggage.
