Strand Hotel Singapore

The hotel's location is excellent, just about a ten-minute walk from most nearby attractions. The Bencoolen MRT station (DT21, Downtown Line) is right outside. The front desk staff are great; they speak Mandarin, English, and Japanese. The room amenities are a bit basic, but the room size is good, and it comes with a fridge and a safe. There are plenty of dining options right across the street. Overall, it's a pretty good hotel.

The hotel is super convenient to get around, really close to the museum. **Environment**: It's okay. **Service**: Pretty good.

Great location, close to the city center and right next to Nagoyajo Station. It's a bit old, though.

We stayed for five nights with our child for the airshow and some sightseeing, and we were very satisfied. The hotel is conveniently located right above Bugis MRT Station Exit B (there are two exits about 10 meters apart, one with an escalator and one without). Several other MRT stations are just a few minutes' walk away, and there are at least two bus stops within a two-minute walk. It's only two bus stops to catch the DUCKtour. Across the street, there's an air-conditioned hawker center, which couldn't be more convenient. You can also get to the Night Safari with just one transfer (though it takes a bit longer, it's a very affordable option). For an average price of less than 1000, the room size here in Singapore is impressively large. I saw some reviews mentioning poor hygiene and humidity, but neither my friend nor I experienced any issues in our two rooms. I found the room service to be quite good too. The front desk staff were very enthusiastic and patiently helped with directions and other queries. Everyone we met in Singapore was incredibly friendly; it was a wonderful experience! Just a tip: try to avoid buying things at 7-Eleven (there are two nearby) as they are quite expensive. The same yogurt that costs S$2.2 there is only S$1.2 at a supermarket five minutes' walk away.

The location is excellent, right outside the Downtown Line MRT station. The National Museum, Peranakan Museum, and Fort Canning Park are all within walking distance, just next door. However, the hotel is very old and dated, and the facilities are just average. I'd recommend the nearby Mi Hotel or Strand Hotel instead, which seem to host mostly Chinese guests. This area is full of hotels, making it convenient for dining, accommodation, and transportation.

Facilities: Very old-fashioned. Cleanliness: Very good. Environment: Decent. Service: Excellent service. Location: Very bustling, right in the city center.
