Think twice before you try it
Despite being aware of the negative reviews, I decided to give this hotel a chance. Unfortunately, the reality was even worse than my worst fears. The room was extremely disappointing and fell far short of my expectations. The exorbitant prices in Singapore make it difficult to find affordable accommodations, and this hotel is certainly not a budget-friendly option. The lack of a proper shower was a major inconvenience, and the windows were sealed shut, leaving no opportunity for fresh air. To make matters worse, the air conditioning system caused water to condense and flood the room on occasion. However, I must commend the friendly and helpful staff, as well as the hotel's convenient location.

Response from Roland on 2023/8/27
Dear Joao,We are dismayed to hear about the disappointment of your stay. Similar to many of the hotel properties in Singapore, the room windows cannot be opened for the safety and security of the hotel guests, which has always been our top priority. Please set the aircon at optimal temperature between 22-24 degrees to reduce the condensation in the room. Warm Regards,RolandGuest Experience Executive

Dear Gabriele,We are heartened to hear that your stay was a pleasant one, from the location of the hotel to the services of the staff. With Singapore facing increasing land constraints, it is a common trait to see accommodation properties offering rooms that are small in size. This is also becoming an acceptable trend now, in consideration that many travellers spend their entire day out exploring the sights of Singapore and only return to the hotel at night to rest. It is our pleasure to be of service to you and we look forward to serving you again!Warm Regards,RolandGuest Experience Executive

Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Cleanliness
Pros: Great location, close to Bugis Junction and MRT. Small 711 next to it. Lift was quick and clean. All staff in lobby was nice and welcoming. The room soundproofing is OK for Asia rooms, just a bit noisy when there are guest talking outside in hallways/lift area. Cons: The cleaner did not change the bedding even if you put the make room sign up, all they did was flip the quilt to the other side and swap the pillows around which was not OK. Very humid inside the room. Toiletries other than shower gel and shampoo is no longer provided to be inline with the Govt plastic use which is okay but it is still advertised as toiletries included in the Expedia listing which is unclear for Asia travelling. Shower gel was also not filled upon arrival which begs the questions if the room was cleaned before, I'm sure if you asked it to be refilled they would of. No bar fridge but it is as advertised so expected. Overall the place is fine, the room is OK size for Asia. The location is extremely convenient for shopping, walkability to other places and MRT. Only downside is the cleaniness and the humidity in the room.

Dear Rachel,Thank you for your valuable feedback. We are glad to hear that our location and service met to your expectations. As our hotel is advocating Accor’s Planet 21 initiatives for sustainability of the environment, we do not change linen daily for short stay guests unless specifically requested. Basic toiletries and necessities are still provided in the room but we have stopped placing single use products such as bottled water in the rooms so that our guests can also participate in our project. Our 2-in-1 bath gel and shampoo is in a dispenser whcih does not require topping up everytime guests check out. All our rooms are thoroughly cleaned and all linen are replaced at every guest check out.Our housekeeping supervisor has received your feedback and working hard to ensure our housekeeping services meets our very high standards for our guests' benefit. We do hope for another opportunity to welcome you back for a better experience in the near future.Warm Regards,RolandGuest Experience Executive

No window? Dripping shower? No hot water? Flood in the hallway? The place was a shocker
Stayed 1 night in Feb 2023
Response from Roland on 2023/3/5
Dear Simon,We are surprised by your comments. Standard rooms do not have windows and this is clearly indicated in the booking platform. If you require a window, please book a Superior or Deluxe room. Unlimited hot water is available all the time, and just needs to be turned on using a switch positioned right outside the bathroom. This is in line with Singapore's effort for energy conservation. Do inform our frontdesk in future of any concern so that my colleagues can attend to you and ensure your stay is a comfortable one. Thank you.Warm Regards,RolandGuest Experience Executive

The location of the hotel is excellent. If you want an affordable stay in a nice area, I definitely recommend this hotel. I gave 3 star rating because the bed was very hard, after 5 nights my body was sore from the hard mattress. The cleaning staff gave me an extra towel on request in the morning, but would take it away before I could use it when they came to tidy the room - not their fault but we didn’t have enough towels. Extra pillows were not provided on request, which was unfortunate due to the hard beds. The bathroom was clean, the small room was fine, we didn’t mind it even with 2 people and luggage. Close to train, bus, shopping. If the beds were renewed I would certainly return. Good value for price.

Fair hotel for staying on a budget :)
Was an okay budget hotel. The bedding was not super clean in the begining because it is only changed if you ask or after some time. It was okay and had what you needed; it has air conditioning, shower, hair dryer. The check out is 12pm each day but sometimes the cleaners come earlier than that so best check out 10am or but the do not disturb sign out. We were given complimentary toothbrush and toohpaste but it kept getting thrown out for a new one each day which i didnt understand ? I can use a regular plastic toothbrush my whole stay, it seems awfully wasteful. I tried to keep it with my stuff but basically i had 10 toothbrushes my whole stay, that was the most stand out thing lol. Very close to bugis + shopping mall and around a 10 minute walk to the MRT railway. It was in a great location for where i wanted to be. Good stay though; i may use bugis budget again but i may also try another for a similar price.

a true budget hotel
Ibis is a exactly a budget hotel and nothing more. As a budget hotel, of course, quality of linens and towel is not good. The bathroom is very small and there is no shower stall at all. The water is not too hot either. BUT AGAIN, it is a budget hotel so nothing to complain about. However, they downgraded us to a different room and did not offer to adjust the rate. This I find disappointing. People who use budget hotels will mind that they paid more than what they got.

I thoroughly enjoyed my recent stay, it is clean, safe and well placed to see all the things on my list, the three members of staff on the front desk, Jason, Diyanna and Adrianna were all extremely helpful and friendly with good knowledge of the area and transport links. My only criticism is that the TV in my room was below par, it had 9 channels, only about 4 worked and they were not much use to me as a traveller, some basic movie channels would have made a difference. However, I would happily stay there again without hesitation.
