Hotels near Sentosa, Singapore

Stepping into the hotel, I was immediately hit with a wave of familiarity. It had changed its name and been renovated, and then I realized it was the same hotel I stayed in during the Chinese New Year in 2017. It's a great place – right next to a mall, making shopping and dining super convenient, and getting to major attractions is a breeze. The hotel service is also very thoughtful. I checked out early in the morning to run errands and left my luggage, picking it up later that night. They even kindly let us use the gym on the third floor to freshen up. All in all, a really fantastic hotel!

My daughter absolutely loved this hotel (the garden pool was a huge hit!). It truly lives up to its 'hidden oasis' vibe; even though it's right in the middle of Orchard Road, it feels so peaceful and secluded – a true urban sanctuary. Every detail in the hotel shows thoughtful design and care. The staff are incredibly friendly, and all the guests are polite and considerate. Immy, the floor attendant, was especially wonderful! She was warm and gentle, and even helped my son find his wireless earbuds that had fallen under the bed. Seeing kids from different countries playing together in the water park really gave me a 'we are the world, we are the children' moment – peace is truly beautiful 😊☮️

We stayed at this hotel in July 2026. From Changi Airport, we took the MRT. After clearing customs, you need to follow the signs for 'Train to city' or 'MRT'. On the way, buy an Ez-link card at one of the tourist kiosks. We were offered an unlimited pass for $40, but we declined and bought top-up cards for $10 each, valid for our transit period in Singapore. From Singapore Airport to the city center, you first need to travel two stops to Tanah Merah station, alight at platform B, and then board a train marked 'to city' from the same platform. This is on the Green Line. Get off at Raffles Place station. Then, go up the stairs or take the elevator, and once upstairs, look for Exit D or E. Exit D is closer and more convenient for the hotel, but it goes through a shopping mall which might be closed in the evenings or on weekends. From either exit, turn right and walk along the main road without turning off. The main entrance of the building where the hotel is located leads to the CapitaSpring business center. You don't need to enter there; instead, walk a few meters past the main entrance on the right side, towards the taxi stand, where you'll find the hotel entrance. From there, you need to go up to the 9th floor, where the reception is. The hotel has three elevators: one for the reception from the 1st to the 9th floor, which is accessible to everyone. The second elevator goes from the 9th to the 17th floor and can only be used with a room key card. This elevator leads to the guest rooms. The third elevator is on the 17th floor in the garden and leads to the 51st floor observation deck, which is only open on weekdays until 6 PM. Water dispensers are located opposite the elevators on each floor. To use the elevator to the rooms, you need to tap your key card and select your floor on the panel; the panel will then indicate which of the three elevators (by a letter designation) will arrive. The staff were polite. There was no deposit required upon check-in, but they asked for a credit card number for registration. The rooms are clean, cozy, and have a good view. The renovation is fresh. The curtains are practically blackout, providing excellent darkening. However, there's a green sensor light on the ceiling in the room's hallway that seems quite bright at night, like a nightlight. This didn't bother us, but if you want to sleep in complete darkness, you won't be able to without a sleep mask. The soundproofing in the rooms is good; we couldn't hear our neighbors. The room has everything necessary, including a refrigerator, an ironing board, and an iron. There's also a safe, a capsule coffee machine, tea and coffee making facilities, and even soft hangers in the wardrobe. The pillows felt uncomfortable to me, but that's probably the only drawback. The room was cleaned daily; trash was emptied, and towels were changed. The Wi-Fi was good. Overall, we liked the hotel, including its central location.

Staying within Mandai Wildlife Reserve makes it incredibly convenient to walk to the zoo. The hotel is beautifully integrated with nature, lush and green, exactly how we like it. If you're spending at least two days in Mandai, it's definitely worth considering this place for the sheer convenience. The breakfast, as many have noted, has a seemingly long buffet line but isn't particularly diverse. However, you can always find something good to eat if you pick and choose. I especially liked the DIY fresh fruit and vegetable juices. Service varies from person to person. All the ladies I encountered were very friendly, especially when I arrived early to drop off my luggage; their warm and thoughtful service truly made me feel at home. The Chinese-speaking gentlemen at the front desk were also very attentive, patiently and meticulously answering questions, and specifically informed me that the shuttle bus to the Bird Paradise was free. The bellhops were also super nice. On our first day, we stayed at another hotel, and our Grab driver mistakenly dropped us off here. They clearly directed us where we should go and even explained how to walk over the next day. When we checked out, one of them quickly ran to help carry our luggage downstairs, and at the car, someone else immediately took over to load it. These were all different individuals, showing that this level of service is their standard. However, there were also very frustrating aspects. Apart from the ladies at the front desk, several dark-skinned male staff members were unhelpful and wore cold expressions. In the room, I could hear a sharp 'green beep' noise every few seconds, constantly. After opening the door, I confirmed it was coming from outside the room. At 9 PM, I played a video recording of the noise for a dark-skinned staff member at the front desk (who wasn't short), and he said someone would be sent to fix it immediately. When I returned from a walk after 10 PM, the noise was still there. The in-room phone to the front desk was always unreachable. Eventually, I had to call the front desk from my mobile phone for someone to answer, and they said they'd send an engineer. It took about ten to twenty minutes for someone to arrive and resolve it. When they opened the door, I saw the hotel's utility room across the hall was open, and the noise was indeed coming from there. This was truly exasperating; there was no follow-up communication or apology afterwards. Is it because I had a recording that they finally dealt with the issue after I reported it at the front desk and called repeatedly? It was really annoying and spoiled the mood.

The location is excellent! It's within a 10-minute walk to Fort Canning Park, Merlion Park, Old Hill Street Police Station, the Art Museum, and Jumbo Seafood. When I was choosing a hotel, I wanted something clean and tidy, close to the attractions. The front desk staff were very friendly during check-in and check-out, and some even spoke a little Chinese, which made me feel very comfortable. After checking in, the room facilities were quite new, and the room size was also acceptable. It was consistent with the online pictures. Up to this point, my impression of this hotel was very good! Now, about breakfast. There wasn't much variety, and on the second morning around 10 AM, it wasn't even peak dining time. The ”lady with straight bangs” who was seating people, and who had a Chinese appearance, I don't quite understand why, despite there being several empty tables in the main dining area close to the food stations, she refused to seat us there. Instead, she insisted on seating us in a corner conference room, which made getting food very inconvenient! The tables were dirty and hadn't been wiped. During our meal, many servers kept coming in to put away cutlery! I'm not sure if the ”lady with straight bangs” was being discriminatory or what her intention was. For future guests, I'd suggest you boldly request not to sit in the conference room!!

lyf Funan Singapore boasts an unbeatable location. The hotel is situated entirely within Funan Mall, with seamless underground access to City Hall MRT station, just a three to four-minute walk away, protected from the elements. Merlion Park, Marina Bay, Clarke Quay, and Fort Canning Park are all within walking distance, making returns after a day of sightseeing effortless. Downstairs, you'll find restaurants and supermarkets, covering all your dining and shopping needs. The convenience for getting around is top-notch. The hotel's service is gentle and attentive. The 24-hour front desk staff (including a helpful lady who speaks Chinese) are warm and enthusiastic. Check-in is efficient and smooth, and they patiently answer questions about directions and attractions. Luggage storage and various other requests are handled with care and discretion. The overall facilities are modern and well-equipped, with a simple yet contemporary design. The rooms are clean and tidy, feeling very much like a home away from home. Public areas include a spacious lounge, a shared kitchen, a self-service laundry and drying room, and a gym, making it comfortable for extended stays. The high-speed WiFi is stable throughout, and the rooms are fully equipped, balancing trendy design with practical experience. Having visited Singapore multiple times, I always choose to stay here. The excellent location, attentive service, and comprehensive amenities make the entire trip exceptionally worry-free and comfortable.

Excellent location on Orchard Road, with the Apple Store right next door. Shopping, dining, and the MRT are all within easy walking distance. The hotel was clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The staff were friendly, making our stay enjoyable. Would definitely stay here again.

Hotel boss is located in a strategic location and the reception gave us an upgrade Alvin Lee was so nice and made us feel welcome. The amenities in the hotel was okay but they need to check the treadmill because not all are functioning well. My family went swimming and said that it was nice. This is a super lively hotel and when I get back to SG we might get back here again

Great location, affordable price. The reception staff provided excellent service. It's close to a bus stop, making transportation very convenient. You can take a bus from the hotel and then transfer to another bus that goes directly to the airport.

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!
