Although the park isn't very big, you can easily spend half a day there. It's a lot of fun, and the Mummy indoor roller coaster is thrilling and definitely worth riding! 👍

Universal was so much fun, but the waiting time for the rides was too long.

5/5
Universal Studios Singapore isn't very big; a day is enough to enjoy it. However, during the summer holidays, the queues can be quite long, and the rides are often temporarily closed, which can be a bit disappointing when you're told they're temporarily closed after waiting in line for a while.

Best time to go to Universal Studios Singapore

Best time to go to Universal Studios Singapore
The best time to visit Universal Studios Singapore typically depends on a few factors, including weather, crowd levels, and special events. Here are some factors to help you plan your trip:
  1. Climate Considerations: Singapore features a tropical rainforest climate, staying warm and humid year-round. For more comfortable outdoor exploring, consider visiting between November and January, when temperatures are slightly milder.
  2. Managing Crowds: To beat the queues, aim for a weekday visit outside of peak school holiday periods (March, June, September, and December). You'll generally find the park much quieter when local schools are in session.
  3. Seasonal Events: Look out for annual highlights like Halloween Horror Nights or festive Christmas celebrations. While these draw larger crowds, they offer exclusive themed experiences you won't find at other times.
  4. Holiday Peaks: Keep an eye on the Singaporean public holiday calendar; these dates often see a significant spike in local visitors.
  5. Operating Hours: Always verify the park’s schedule before you head out. Arriving at "rope drop" (right when the gates open) is the best strategy to tick off the headliner rides with minimal wait times.

Singapore River Singapore|2.11km from downtown
Great location! There's an MRT station not too far from the hotel, and the Singapore River is right behind it. You can walk about 1.5 km along the river to Clarke Quay, and even reach the National Gallery. The room itself was quite spacious, and I appreciated having purified drinking water. Personally, I'm not a fan of bathtubs, and the tissues disintegrated too easily when wet, which was a bit inconvenient. However, the hotel breakfast was excellent and had a great variety.

Orchard Road Singapore|3.66km from downtown
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I stayed for 4 nights during my trip to Singapore and it was a truly satisfying experience. The biggest advantage is definitely the location. It's just a few minutes' walk to Orchard Road and close to Orchard MRT, which made shopping and sightseeing incredibly convenient. There are also many shopping malls and great restaurants nearby, making it easy to get around. The room was spacious and very clean, and the bed was so comfortable that I could relax easily every day. The room was well-maintained, and I appreciated the complimentary mini-bar, bottled water, and coffee. Above all, the staff were incredibly friendly. From check-in to check-out, their responses were quick, and they always greeted me with a bright smile, making my stay very pleasant. The breakfast offered a wide variety of delicious options, and I could see why the hotel's Carousel restaurant is so famous. If I visit Singapore again, I would definitely choose this hotel. I highly recommend it, especially for those planning a shopping and sightseeing trip.

Marina Bay Singapore|1.78km from downtown
First off, the location is incredibly convenient. Getting around is a breeze, and we could walk to most attractions. Even after a concert at 11 PM, we could easily take the subway back, and the walk felt very safe. Secondly, the room was bigger than expected, which was a real treat in high-density Singapore. The facilities were new, and they provided complimentary bottled water. The front desk staff were absolutely wonderful – so warm and attentive. The hotel's overall environment was fantastic too, very quiet and clean. I'll definitely choose this hotel again next time I'm in Singapore. Five stars!

Marina Bay Singapore|1.34km from downtown
The hotel's location is superb, and the lobby and public areas are spacious, grand, and clean. The service from the greeters, front desk, and luggage storage was excellent. The bay view room we booked offered an unbeatable view, and having a mall right next door made dining and shopping incredibly convenient. The only thing I want to complain about is the room service – it was the slowest service I've ever encountered in my life. Even the most patient person would lose their temper! First, we booked for three people, but only had two sets of toothbrushes and slippers. We called the front desk to request an additional set of toothbrushes, slippers, and a duvet. The front desk staff were super nice on the phone, but after waiting for an hour, nothing had arrived. We were about to leave, so we called again. Each time, a different person answered, and they were always very nice, but the items just never came. It wasn't until I called for the fifth or sixth time and finally lost my temper that everything was delivered instantly. Later that evening, after returning from sightseeing and ready to rest, I pulled back the covers to find a stain on the bedsheet. So, I called the front desk again, emphasizing that I hoped it would be delivered quickly because it was late and I wanted to sleep. Then began another endless wait. I called three times to follow up. Finally, I was so tired that I called the front desk and told them if they didn't send it now, then don't bother, I needed to sleep. I was already planning to just put a towel down and sleep on it, and *then* it was delivered. I really don't understand why the hotel's delivery service is so incredibly slow; it completely exhausted all the initial good feelings I had about this place…

Shuttle service also provided to go along the beaches ; Pahlawan beach, Tanjong Beach and Siloso Beach which is also convenient to take bus, train and taxi at nearby station. Easy access transportation in and out from Sentosa Island. Love the seaview and garden view from the rooftop and also just a walking distance to Beach Station in less than 10mins from the resort. This is my 2nd time staycation here and highly recommend for a short gateway and healing by nature in Sentosa Island.

This hotel is centrally located, very convenient to the MRT and bus stops, making it easy to get around even on foot. As it's surrounded by several academies, it's a paradise for young people with plenty of shopping malls and restaurants. The rooms have basic amenities, but they are thoughtfully designed, such as the hot water dispenser in the room, and shared irons, ironing boards, fridges, and microwaves on each floor. There are also coin-operated laundry facilities, which are very useful given Singapore's hot weather. The laundry room is connected to the gym, a nice touch so you can work out while waiting. For short stays, they don't clean the room daily. The air conditioning is excellent. The bathroom, however, doesn't have a wet/dry separation.

This was another stay at Hotel Royal @ Queens, and over different visits I’ve now spent close to 20 nights here. That alone says a lot about how comfortable and reliable this hotel has been for me whenever I’m in Singapore. One of the biggest advantages is the room size. For Singapore, the rooms are impressively spacious, especially at this price point, making it excellent value for money. The location is hard to beat. With MRT stations, bus stops, popular hawker centres, Bugis, Chinatown, shopping streets, and many of Singapore’s attractions all within easy reach, it’s an ideal base whether you’re travelling for business or leisure. I also enjoyed the swimming pool on the 4th floor, which is a great place to unwind after a long day. The only area that could use some improvement is the gym. It’s functional but quite basic, and upgrading the equipment would make the overall experience even better. The hospitality continues to be the reason I keep returning. A special shout-out to Mani and Lin Lin at the front desk for always being welcoming, efficient, and genuinely helpful. They consistently make guests feel at home, and the entire hotel team deserves credit for maintaining such friendly service. A lovely bonus is the beautiful church located directly opposite the hotel entrance, adding a peaceful charm to the surroundings. Overall, Hotel Royal @ Queens continues to be one of my preferred places to stay in Singapore. Spacious rooms, an unbeatable location, warm hospitality, and great value keep bringing me back, and I look forward to staying here again.

My overall experience staying at V Hotel was quite good. The hotel's location is very convenient, close to the MRT station, making it easy to get to Singapore city center, attractions, and the airport. There are also many restaurants, coffee shops, and convenience stores nearby, offering great amenities. Although the room wasn't particularly large, it was clean and tidy, well-equipped, and the bed was comfortable. The air conditioning and hot water supply were also stable. The hotel staff were friendly, and the check-in and check-out processes were quick and efficient. They were also helpful when I encountered issues. Considering accommodation prices in Singapore, V Hotel offers excellent convenience, quality of stay, and overall value for money, making it ideal for business travelers or independent tourists. If I visit Singapore again, I would consider staying here and would recommend it to travelers who prioritize convenient transportation and good amenities.

I stayed at PARKROYAL COLLECTION Marina Bay during a solo business trip to Singapore, mainly because I had meetings near Marina Bay Sands. The hotel checked many boxes for me, especially its convenient location, Halal certified breakfast buffet and walking distance access to train stations. The reception area on Level 4 immediately left a strong impression. The interior is beautiful and filled with greenery, somewhat reminding me of Gardens by the Bay. It feels modern, relaxing and very photogenic / Instagrammable at the same time. I appreciated the convenience of online check in and check out. During check in, I was assisted by Yarik, who was extremely friendly and welcoming. He thoughtfully gave me a room facing Marina Bay Sands, which I truly appreciated. Thank you again, Yarik. The room itself was spacious for a solo traveller. Everything was very clean, and I really enjoyed the bathtub and toiletries provided. Another thing I loved was the coffee selection in the room. There were different coffee strengths available, from mild to very strong, which was perfect for someone like me who enjoys coffee a lot. I visited the hotel gym as well. It is not huge, but good enough for a basic workout. Since I am an Anytime Fitness (AF) member, I also walked to the nearby Suntec City AF branch, which was very convenient from the hotel. The location is excellent. Promenade MRT Station and Esplanade MRT Station are both within about five minutes’ walk, and the Merlion Park area is nearby too, making it easy for me to go jogging. Breakfast was fantastic with many choices. I especially loved the blended juice with ginger and cinnamon. On checkout day, although my late checkout request was initially declined by Lydia at the reception counter because the hotel was full, the team later managed to accommodate my request after I explained my situation. Thanks as well to Yi Quan for assisting during checkout. Overall, this hotel was amazing. I genuinely enjoyed the stay, especially the thoughtful service and the Halal certified breakfast buffet.

Marina Bay Singapore|1.61km from downtown
My husband and I stayed at Pan Pacific to celebrate our 2nd wedding anniversary. Unfortunately, the experience did not live up to our expectations. The service was underwhelming from the start. The reception staff were not particularly approachable or welcoming, and we did not experience the level of hospitality we expected from a hotel of this standard. Our arrival experience was also less than ideal. We parked in the hotel’s car park expecting direct lift access to the lobby, but there wasn’t one from the area we used. We had to carry our luggage up the escalator and walk through part of a restaurant before reaching the hotel lobby. This was inconvenient, especially with luggage, and not the first impression we had expected from a 5-star hotel. One of our biggest concerns was the room amenities. When we called to request hot water, we were told to boil it ourselves using the in-room electric kettle. Normally, this would not have been an issue, except the kettle’s filter was rusty. We requested a replacement, but the second kettle was in a similar condition. This was disappointing and raised concerns about cleanliness. Another minor disappointment was the lack of basic bathroom amenities. The room did not include a comb or shaver, and there was no information indicating whether these items were available upon request. While I understand that many hotels have adopted more sustainable practices by reducing single-use amenities, clearer communication or the option to request these essentials would have been appreciated, especially at a 5-star hotel. The room was advertised as 46㎡, but it felt much smaller and more compact than we had expected. On a positive note, the housekeeping team did a good job of keeping the room clean, and the 24-hour in-room dining was a definite highlight and very convenient. The Marina Bay view was pleasant, although it wasn’t particularly breathtaking. Overall, there was nothing particularly memorable that made the stay feel like a luxury experience. Given Pan Pacific’s reputation, I expected much more. Having stayed at other 5-star hotels, I genuinely thought Pan Pacific would offer a better experience. We did not feel that the overall stay justified the price we paid. The atmosphere felt rather ordinary, and the experience lacked the warmth, attentiveness, and attention to detail we were hoping for in a luxury hotel. As this was meant to be a special anniversary getaway, it was disappointing that the experience fell short of our expectations. Everyone’s expectations are different, and others may have a better experience than we did. Unfortunately, based on our stay, we are unlikely to return and would consider other hotels for future occasions.

Chinatown Singapore|0.83km from downtown
This hotel, adorned with plants, is a landmark in Singapore. Frankly, just taking a photo from outside is enough; staying here, you don't really get to appreciate it. The pool is tiny, more for decoration. There were sharp objects in the pool, and my child cut their foot pretty badly, a three-centimeter gash. I was surprised the hotel didn't even have antiseptic solution. It's very close to Chinatown; turn right out of the hotel and cross at the traffic light. You'll pass the Jamae Mosque, an Indian temple, and the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple. Directly opposite the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple is Maxwell Food Centre. You can walk the whole stretch in about fifteen minutes. From the lobby, cross the road at the traffic light on the left and walk straight ahead to find Song Fa Bak Kut Teh. Continue walking for another minute along the river, and you'll see the Old Hill Street Police Station. Keep going for less than ten minutes, and you'll reach Chijmes, where you can also visit St. Andrew's Cathedral. The whole route is about 1.5 kilometers.
