The Scarlet Singapore, Singapore

Picked this place for price and location. Super close to Maxwell Food Centre (hawkers) with a famous chicken rice stand that Anthony Bourdain went to (highly recommend it if you can wait in line for 10-20min). It’s practically across the street! Very close to Chinatown and a decent walk to the MRT. I’d recommend a taxi to get here from the airport unless you can walk in blistering humid heat for 10-15min and your luggage. Rooms are very clean and super cool that they used to be a bunch of stores that got renovated into a hotel. Each room is slightly different. Staff are super friendly and helpful. Especially Emily, she was very attentive to all our needs and excellent customer service. Our bathroom in a 2 twin beds room with “no window” was very spacious! The room was on the ground floor and had a kind of basement window that gave us natural light to tell if it was day time or night time. Entering the beautiful and cool/cold lobby was always pleasant especially when it’s 30-35oC outside and coming from Canada where it’s usually not that hot, was very comforting. Check in was pleasant with a cold towel too. To help cool me down and dripping with sweat. The AC in the room was pretty good overall. We set it to 22-23oC and had a good nights rest. The fridge also worked and they had plenty of room to put our stuff in there! Unlike other cheaper hotels in Singapore... they also gave us 2 bottles of water each day! Again some cheap places don’t do it.

Small cozy rooms but if you like something a little on the dreamy side this boutique hotel is for you...located very conveniently next to Singapore's vibrant and colorful China town and just a half hour by foot away from all the downtown attractions. Would definately come back and stay here again...

Spent two nights here before our cruise. Wonderful location in old China town and across the street from the Maxwell Food Court. Fun in the evening with the food street a few steps away. Very friendly staff and loved that the hotel itself was ancient but modern. When we arrived way after midnight and a long flight we were greeted with cold towel and refreshing fruit drink. I actually had two drinks. As a bonus we were also across the street from the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple. Wow.

The hotel is good in location and cleanliness. I wish it has space for the bag containing toothbrush and toothpaste

The hotel is in the heart of Chinatown and very near Smith street & the Maxwell Hawker center. The only downside of the hotel was the funky smell coming from the bathroom when the water is turned on. Not quite rotten eggs but maybe moldy.
