Hotels Near Satay Street @ Lau Pa Sat in Singapore

Strategically located next to Lau Pa Sat and SGX building, the legacy of F.G. Lundon from 1927 stands elegantly among the Singapore skyscrapers. The newly-renovated building itself offers a clean and cozy feeling with perfect conditioning among the heat of Singapore. I also felt like home with all the services that they offer to me and I was constantly in awe with the architecture and interior. The hotel applied pre check in form that was sent to my phone, so I could fill all the details and straight to the reception to receive my room key. However, due to their system change, they gave me separate key for lift and the room (they say it should be temporary and I hope it will be fixed as soon as possible). The room was awesome with high tech and can be operated through their iPad. You can put a timer to open curtain and turn the lamp on. However, I found a small details for the cleaning service where I found a used head cap left below the toilet, and I found it weird as I thought the room was completely cleaned. Apart from that, the aircon in the room that I stayed also got weird noises during the night. After I filed complaint to the reception on the next day, they swiftly change my room and the experience completely changed 180 degree towards a positive side. the new room was flawless and nice. I was surprised with their sound-proof mechanism, as I could hear nothing from outside despite lau pa sat was really crowded + huge thunderstorm. The rooftop pool was also amazing and I could swim freely as it wasn't crowded. However, I just feel that the hotel need to put a prominent sign on towel's location as it took me 10 minutes to find the towel while the pool was unattended at 9am. I was also admire the warmth of the service where all staffs were really nice to me. They directly greet me in Indonesian as they realize I'm from Indonesia, and we had a great talk (shout out to Izzat and Ismail as they were really nice to me, and also all reception officers who helped me). They also helped me a lot for my checkout process and it was very smooth as well. The Hotel Telegraph offers an undeniable status as a boutique small luxury hotel with an amazing services. Yet, I really wish that the small details can be improved to ensure guest can truly feels the perfection of the 5 stars boutique small luxury hotel.

Very disappointed with my stay at The Scarlet. The worst thing was that the room did not have any windows. The staff pointed out that this was stated on the booking platform. I checked on Trip.com and indeed it is stated in fine print that “Some rooms have windows”. I think this is unacceptable for “tourist-class” hotels, unless Scarlet thinks of itself as a budget/hourly hotel like Hotel81? In tourist-class hotels, the lack of windows is an anomaly and is usually highlighted in the room category name directly, e.g. “Deluxe Queen Room (No Windows)”. The room was also very old and cramped. The TV view is partially obstructed when lying in bed. There’s also a ridiculous “skylight” that looks makeshift and resembles something that could be found in a slum? See pictures. The Scarlet is way past it’s prime and should either close for a complete rebuild or just reposition yourself as a budget hotel.

Where to start. The hostel is close to a several of exits for Chinatown MRT station. Cheap eats are everywhere in Chinatown so you will be spoilt for choice. Check out the money changers at People's Park for good exchange rates if you have cash. The junction of South Bridge Road and Upper Cross Street is within walking distance of Marina Bay, Gardens by the Bay, the Barrage, the CBD, Bugis, City Hall. There is a self service laundrette down the street which includes detergent, and is fairly cheap for a wash and tumble dry load. And if you hanker for fresh fruit, check out the produce market in the Hong Lim Complex. The nitty gritty: the hostel is cheap, but no palace. Whilst the room and corridor floors are washed everyday, the same cannot be said of the showers and toilets - the grime and mould on the walls is beyond belief; good luck anyone who doesn't wear something on their feet when using the facilities. Rooms are airless and musty, having no ventilation even if they have windows which are sealed, and have a sweaty atmosphere of their own. AirCon only lowers the temperature of the rooms, and does nothing to circulate fresh air. Mattresses have seen better days and dip in the middle where countless bodies have slept on them over time. The same can be said of the pillows. The website photos paint the hostel in a deceptively clean and bright light, unfortunately the view from the open air eating area now looks onto a very large building sight, which even by SG standards must have been underway for at least 12 to 18 months. I guess you get what you pay for, but having travels to SG for decades, this hostel was reminiscent of Bencoolen Street in its heyday. The only saving grace is likely to be the people you meet whilst staying there.

Staying at this self-check-in hotel was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. The seamless and efficient check-in process made arriving a breeze, allowing me to skip the usual lines and paperwork associated with traditional hotels. The intuitive self-service posters and staff guided me through each step, ensuring a hassle-free experience. The hotel staff were friendly, professional, and always available to assist with any queries or requests. Despite the self-check-in model, I never felt like I was lacking in personalized service. Whether it was providing local recommendations or promptly addressing any concerns, they went above and beyond to ensure my satisfaction

Great location with views of Marina lagoon. Many malls and shopping centers in the range of 1Km. The breakfasts offered by the hotel is fantastic and the settings of the dinning hall. The online Grab taxi App is recommended to make the visiting much easier.

I must say their attention to detail is top notch. We booked a Staycation here just after our wedding. Wasn't under any hotel wedding package but we were pleasantly greeted with a note & cake in our room. Amenities were all well maintained with a huge area for makeup & hair which I love. The view from the room was amazing, everything was clean & tidy. Not forgetting, the amazing breakfast spread is a MUST have!

Room is basic but clean. Location is great with many eateries nearby and for those who drives, hotel has complimentary car park which is great.

Hotel is in a great location plus around 5 to 10 minutes walking distance to two bus stops, VivoCity and HarbourFront MRT station. Although I never go to their rooftop restaurant but still got other places to eat like VivoCity and HarbourFront food centre. The inside of the hotel, the common corridor and the swimming pool is ok and although the room is small but that is fine since I am staying alone. I will come back to stay at this hotel in the future if I have the opportunity so thanks so much.

Stayed here many times and always came back here when I come to Singapore. Room is small, but since I’m staying alone, it’s perfectly fine and just the right size for me. Location is not the center of Singapore, but it’s right above the MRT stations. So many food stalls right beside the hotel. Only one stop to bugis, and only 5 stops to Orchard (with transfer at City Hall). I prefer this hotel than any hotels near city but far from MRT station. It’s clean. The staffs are helpful and friendly enough. Always my choice to stay when I visit Singapore.
