    Would definitely recommend the Sultan and would choose to stay there again when visiting Singapore.

    Perhaps a coffee pod machine in the room would be a nice touch.

    Straightforward checkin. Comfy bed, clean room. Friendly staff who were happy to store our baggage until we needed to depart for the airport. Great location! The whole hotel is clean and tidy and also smells so nice. It’s a small boutique hotel with character rather than a generic hotel where you could be anywhere in the world.

    The wifi was a bit difficult to work with, and the walls were thin, but there wasn’t that many issues arising from that.

    Great shower pressure, larger than we though and just a really good overall vibe.

    Nothing! Just remember it is Singapore and an urban city hotel.

    The location of the hotel is perfect. You are 5 min walking away from Haji Lane and the middle-eastern part of the city. Such a buzzing and fun area to walk around especially at night. The rooms are clean and have a good size for a city hotel, especially the bathroom and shower were surprisingly large. We found the beds very comfortable and had a great weekend.

    Place was fine

    What you see is what you get. Singapore is expensive but this is good value for money anyway. The room was spacious and clean and it is in a great location within walking distance of Haji Lane for example. We stayed here just one night and it was fine. You pay less than other places, so expect accordingly as no view for example.

    People in room above me were noisy. Dragging furniture and sounded like they were stomping. But as my stay was only for 01 night, I didn't bother bringing it to any staff member's attention.

    Location and heritage feel of the place. The hotel was very nicely laid out with extremely tasteful decor.

    Good Spot in Kampong Glam

    Unfortunately, our door lock malfunctioned and we were locked out of our room. It took about 8 hours for it to be opened, which was a shame because we weren't able to get our gear out after breakfast for exploring. We were compensated a decent amount of our room fee however, so I have tried not to let it colour this review too much.

    We stayed in the Deluxe Double, and the room was really nice and quite pretty. The buildings themselves are interesting, and we made use of the washing room ($12SGD). The location in Kampong Glam was great, I can really recommend the area as your place to base yourself while exploring Singapore. There are three somewhat close metro stations, and we took the CW2 from Johor Bahru to the nearby Queen Street bus stop.

    Room 131 had such a small bathroom that it was difficult to squeeze in and out around the door. Shower in poor condition. A quiet room with no street noise but should not be rented until bathroom fixed up.

    Historic building in Kampong Glam which is a vibrant and interesting part of Singapore. Staff very pleasant. Rooms small and mostly ok.

    Would recommend to those seeking a unique architectural hotel experience in a diverse neighbourhood.

    Enjoyed the layout of the duplex suite/loft which was unique and quite spacious. The stairs to the second floor was steep like a ladder and can be a challenge to certain individuals, especially when the only phone is located next to the bed on the second floor. The room can be a little noisy as you can hear the traffic noise and delightful birds outside, but this did not bother us much.

    The room was clean especially the bathroom. The hotel is located in a central area within walking distance to two MRT lines that can easily access downtown and hawker centres to the east. The staff were incredibly friendly and provided us with great service.

    The room was small. But that’s why the price is affordable.

    Good location, with a bus stop in front of it, a night market and many restaurants within 10 minutes walk. It was clean, quiet and comfortable.

    - Bit of mould in shower stall (wall and grout) probably due to fact that there wasn’t an extractor fan in the bathroom. - We left our suitcase at the hotel after we checked out as our flight wasn’t till later- it didn’t feel very secure as it seems like anyone could walk by and grab it.

    Great location, very accessible, good AC in room with complementary drinks in fridge, very good water pressure and temperature (if anything the water pressure was so strong we only turned the shower on half way!)
