Q Loft Hotel1929@Chinatown, Singapore

Best hotel by far that we stayed at in the last two weeks of our trip. Staff were extremely friendly, accomodating and spoke excellent English. Room was fairly small, but very clean and the bed was so comfy. Didn’t use the terrace, but it was beautiful. Unlimited free juice, pop, coffee and tea. Stayed here due to the location. Cannot complain about anything to be honest.

The room is very small me and my wife can't move at all.

This is one of my go-to hotels. Its in a great area, convenient for work and MRT with some of the best restaurants and bars in the city close by. Recently its changed ownership (the 3rd time in as many years) but the service is overall better than it was before. This is a historical converted shop house so its important to consider that its going to be a bit quirky. Almost all of the rooms are small 10-15sqm, they will be tight for two people, especially with large luggage. Rooms on the 4th floor do not have windows as they are in the lost roof space. The rooms have storage for folding clothes under the bed but they could use more hanging space and hangers. Our room had one hanging rack on the back of the door with just 3 hangers. There is no place to hang towels. This is the biggest fault of the hotel, especially for 2 people as in a small room you want to unpack your bag so you don't have to constantly try to access your suitcase. The other problem is the water heater. Its a small tank located in the roof above the washroom. If you're two people showering, you have to be smart or you will run out after one shower. The good news is the water heats fast, give it about 30mns between showers if you run out. The internet uses the annoying front-end gate system that forces a pop-up where you enter your pass-code. These system are known to be large unsecured. My computer blocks them so I had to hotspot from my mobile. Otherwise it was a good stay.

Pros: Delicious breakfast. Comfortable bed. Excellent air conditioning. Great area. Very clean. Cons: The room is very pokey so I wouldn't want to stay more than the 4 nights we were there. The bathroom is a bit awkward. Our bed was basically a mattress on the ground - was fine for us but If you have mobility problems this isn't the hotel for you. I'd stay again, provided it was only a short stay. If I come back to Singapore I'd probably spend on a bigger, higher quality hotel. If you're on a budget and want better than a hostel this is a very solid choice.

Hotel well-placed close to the Chinatown heritage area as well as the Chinatown MRT station. Very friendly staff. Excellent breakfast choice. Room clean and modern if on the small size.
