Hotels near Aliwal Arts Centre, Singapore

This stay far exceeded my expectations, and I simply have to recommend it! The hotel's location is excellent, right by the subway station with a vibrant commercial area and local eateries nearby. It's incredibly convenient for getting around, shopping, and dining. It offers a tranquil atmosphere amidst the hustle and bustle, making for a very comfortable stay. The staff were incredibly warm and attentive. They were always patient and gentle, promptly responding to any requests. We even received a wonderful surprise upon check-in: a complimentary room upgrade to a larger, more elegant space. The limited two-person breakfast was also upgraded to a three-person meal, with a rich variety of delicious options. The rooms were clean, tidy, and well-equipped, showing great attention to detail from the hotel. Overall, the value for money is outstanding. From the convenience of its location to the exceptional service, everything was impeccable. I'll definitely choose this hotel again on my next visit and genuinely recommend it to everyone!

The hotel environment is beautiful, like a resort in the city center. My children absolutely loved the outdoor pool and splash facilities. When they learned that it was one adult and two children staying, they thoughtfully pulled out the sofa bed so there were three beds in the room. Although the hotel is a bit old, the facilities are very well maintained, and I'd give the hardware a high score. The breakfast quality also met my already high expectations, with a wide variety of choices and excellent quality. There's a shuttle bus every hour to the busiest part of Orchard Road. However, in terms of service, I'm only giving a 3. My disappointment lies with the check-in process. When we arrived by taxi, there was no greeter. At the check-in counter, there were three queues, with about three families in each. I picked one and waited for about 20 minutes to be served. At the time, I thought the efficiency here was a bit low, and there wasn't the usual welcoming smile or a glass of water like in other four or five-star hotels. While I was thinking this, a female manager walked back from a distance, looked at me with a cold expression, and asked, 'Are you not queuing? Look, everyone else is queuing.' Her unreasonable and unfounded accusation made me feel embarrassed and offended. Was this a stereotypical prejudice against Chinese faces? I explained in English, but she remained noncommittal. Instead, the staff member who was actually checking me in and understood the situation said 'sorry' to me. In short, this female manager's arrogance and discrimination marred my good impression of the hotel. I hope she sees this review.

This hotel exceeded my expectations! The location is fantastic, making it easy to get anywhere. It's truly rare to find this quality and price in Singapore. It's well-suited for business travelers, but if you're looking for good value and don't specifically need a family-friendly hotel, this one is excellent. The hotel is new, and the service is great. There's no complimentary bottled water in the room, which is common in Singapore, but there's a water dispenser in the hallway – when in Rome, do as the Romans do!

My stay at Mandai Rainforest Resort Treehouse was such a wonderful and peaceful experience. Staying surrounded by nature while still having the comfort and amenities of a resort made it feel like a true escape from the city. The Treehouse & Ambience The treehouse was beautiful, cosy and thoughtfully designed. Waking up surrounded by greenery and nature was definitely one of the highlights of the stay. It was the perfect place to slow down, relax and enjoy some quiet time. Food The food was genuinely good, and I really enjoyed the dining experience during my stay. Everything was well presented and satisfying, making it easy to just stay in and enjoy the resort without needing to head out. Sunset & Sunrise Views The views were absolutely beautiful. Watching the sunset in the evening and sunrise in the morning from the resort was a memorable experience. The changing colours of the sky against the surrounding greenery made the stay feel extra special. Amenities The resort had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The facilities were well maintained, and I loved that the experience allowed me to enjoy nature without giving up comfort. Service The service was another highlight. The staff were friendly, attentive and helpful throughout my stay. They made the experience feel welcoming and comfortable from check-in to check-out. Overall, Mandai Rainforest Resort Treehouse is a beautiful getaway for anyone looking to disconnect, relax and reconnect with nature. Between the cosy treehouse, good food, beautiful sunrise and sunset views, great amenities and warm service, it was definitely a stay worth experiencing. Would absolutely love to come back again.

Had a wonderful stay at Claude Hotel! The hotel is newly renovated, clean, and very comfortable. The room was well-maintained, and the bed was cozy for a good night's sleep. The staff were friendly, helpful, and made the check-in process smooth. The location was convenient, with easy access to nearby food and attractions. Great value for money, and I would definitely stay here again on my next visit. Highly recommended!

This hotel is quite unique, situated above a large shopping mall. We were a bit disoriented at first, as it took us a while to find it, but once we understood the layout, everything was easy and convenient. The rooms are small but clean, and well-equipped so you can easily organize all your belongings. They are brightly lit, and everything worked perfectly. There's an iron, ironing board, and a water cooler in the common hallway. The hallway's decor is interesting, with boards next to each room where you can write messages. The food courts in the mall are a convenient bonus for delicious meals. The location is excellent; you can walk to all the iconic landmarks: Merlion Park, Marina Bay, and the Singapore Flyer. I highly recommend it.

The hotel's location is excellent, right in the heart of Orchard Road. It's super convenient, with shopping malls like Ngee Ann City and ION just outside, and the subway station is only a few hundred meters away.

The hotel's location, cleanliness, and comfort were all excellent. It's within walking distance to popular attractions like the Old Hill Street Police Station and churches. Since we were traveling with a 15-year-old who is considered an adult, I requested a triple room when booking, and the hotel promptly added an extra bed. What's commendable is that this wasn't just a sofa bed; they actually removed the sofa cushions, stored them in a cabinet, and set up a proper single bed with a mattress. This made the extra charge feel justified. (I forgot to take photos at the time, so the room images are screenshots from a video and a bit blurry). The hotel pool's cleanliness and facilities were also excellent. The lounge chairs in the shallow end of the pool were above the water, allowing you to relax on them even if you didn't want to get in the water. Overall, it's a highly recommended hotel for a trip to Singapore.

For a country as expensive as Singapore 🇸🇬, a hostel priced in the 100s is definitely great value for money. Many local Chinese people stay here, and you can learn about Singapore's history by chatting with them. The closest MRT stations are Lavender and Jalan Besar, and it's also very near Little India, making it super convenient to get to all of Singapore's major attractions. There's a food court right downstairs, which is probably one of the cheapest dining options in Singapore, helping you save a lot on food. I stayed here for three days and thought it was pretty good!

The lady on duty on the Singapore public holiday after the National Day was a bit crafty. Wanted to charge us $100 for checking in at 14h00, one hour earlier than official checkin. The notices on the counter clearly mentioned it cost $25 for a one hour early checkin. We did not request an early checkin. Then came the carrot. The same lady offered one room with 4 beds instead of the two rooms we had booked with free early checkin. Nice try, but we were not falling for that old trick. My wife is Chinese and she sniffed a rat in that deal instantly when she realised we would be giving up a second bathroom and some privacy of interleading doors between the two rooms we had booked. Pretty sneaky lady that receptionist Very convenient location along the river. Hotel has a leisure pool for a casual dip. Coffee and tea in the room, even a kettle but you guessed it, the only hotel I have ever stayed at that does not provide bottled water in the room. Msybe they thought the river is close enough to fill the kettle
