Hotel 1929 - Singapore

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Although the staff was very pleasant and tried their best to be accomodating the rooms are very tight and better suited for an individual with little luggage and needs. The use of space was brilliant however having a toilet in the middle of the 3 x 3 shower was challenging for even a 98 pound ex-gymnast such as myself.

Hotel 1929 is not a bad place to stay. It is located in Chinatown, just a few blocks from the touristy market place and the Chinatown subway. The one thing you should consider before booking is that it is only 192 sq feet for a regular room. 192 sq feet. It is totally fine for a solo traveler but it's pretty small for more than one inhabitant. Also, […] the bathroom is really see thru and just inches away from your bed! One more thing, the nightstand has really sharp corners. Read more

Room is too small to stay for this price. It is better to remove this hotel in your list.

We loved staying at Hotel 1929!! The location is PERFECT! On a quiet road in ChinaTown, but all the restaurants and sightseeing you can handle all within walking distance. Short cab ride to everywhere else in town. The staff was SO super friendly, very nice and helpful. Their complimentary breakfast was really yummy and eggs are made to order. One of […] the best continental breakfasts Ive had. One and only drawback, the rooms are TINY. Do not share a room unless you are extremely comfortable with the person you're staying with. Toilet is about 2.5 feet from bed, no joke. Virtually no room to walk around. I had to sit on the bed while my mom got ready cause there wasn't room for both of us to stand. But I hear that is the norm in Singapore. We loved Hotel 1929!! Read more

The service was very good, the lobby was small but comfortable.The shower was the best part - took half the space of the entire room. Just too small and I was by myself. Breakfast seem a bit unorganized.

I understand that we often lower the bar for services in developing countries, but is that really fair to them and their own aspirations? The Areg would never pass as a 3-star or even a 2-star in the developed world, and at least it should have rock-bottom pricing for being a budget hotel in a developing country...but the cost is on par with budget […] hotels in the USA and the overall appearance is much worse! Friendly but ineffectual staff who have no maps or guides to Yerevan (aside from a diagram for taking the metro to Republic Square, but that map is wrong--oh well). Rooms, though large, had filthy carpet with cigarette burns, ants in the bathroom, peeling paint everywhere, inconsistent hot water/water pressure, hard (not firm) mattresses, and my favorite: only an elevator to get to the upper floors, and a clanky old Soviet one at that! Maybe Armenia doesn't have building codes? Breakfast doesn't start until 9am--who wants to stay in a hotel that late? I was still willing to give a two-star review until my check-out, when this cash-only place couldn't make change, when I gave them a 75,000 dram payment for a 72,000 cost. Unacceptable; they didn't deserve to tip themselves. You can do better in a nice location Yerevan at the same price. In the developing world, this would be a fleabag motel. Read more

Hotel 1929 is a small but very charming/chic hotel in Chinatown. The staff are extremely friendly and eager to please. The rooms are well decorated and maintained, although probably quite small by some people's standards. It felt very comfortable to me. There was free WiFi, full breakfast, and luggage storage when my wife and I stayed (March 2012). […] I was very satisfied with my experience. Read more

Fun little place with nice retro furniture. Got the deluxe room which was located in the corner of the hotel and had sufficient room for 2. Incredibly efficient use of space, the shower and toilet practically as one but comfortable beds and nicely appointed. The staff was cheerful and a big help to find our way about town. The metro station was very […] close and it made it easy to navigate around Singapore. Nice breakfast included with a wonderful lady taking care of the patrons. I enjoyed spending a few days there and would recommend it to friends. Read more

This is a great hotel. The Eople are so friendly, the rooms are comfortable and quiet, and the location is near subway and Chinatown. When they say the rooms are small they are being true. The smallestest room I have ever been in but it all works.if you travel with large bags this is not the place for you.

Small but clean rooms. Once your luggage is inside there is barely room to walk. Great if you are only going to sleep and take a shower. If you need your space you will want to stay somewhere else. Also, the noise at night can be a little loud but dies down around 2am. A quick solution to this is to go out and join them! Staff is excellent and extremely […] friendly! Very close to two MRT stations (subway). Only a five minute walk either direction. Hotel is near Chinatown and hundreds of awesome restaurants! I recommend the steam bowls! Read more

We only had two days in Singapore so we had to make the most of the time we had. I love that we had a nice hot breakfast made for us every morning included in the price as well as internet that was faster than I had expected. The rooms themselves are small but creatively put together so every space in the room is maximized. We were lucky enough to have […] a balcony on our room too. When we arrived in Singapore, we had an idea of what we wanted to see, but wanted the advice of locals to tell us the must see things, some hidden gems, and how to best spend our time. Both mornings, Gee and Ummar were EXTREMELY helpful and gave us a real picture of the attractions we mentioned and how to get some package rates on certain attractions. They also helped us map out our day so we could enjoy everything we really wanted to see. They also made sure to tell us restaurants to go to, to eat certain things we'd read were musts in Singapore. They also would recommend a back up in case our first choice wasn't available for our time frame. For a quick trip to Singapore, we feel like we really got the most out of our time there. The staff of Hotel 1929 helped us immensely. Thanks Guys!!! Read more

First the downsides: Rooms are very small, but understandable due to the type of renovation undertaken to create this hotel. Depending on where your room is situated it can be very noisy, caused by kitchen ventilation system, with the morning start-up noise being louder than any alarm clock. The lobby adjoins the breakfast room and I wish they would […] not "hoover" the lobby whilst guests are eating breakfast. This happened every morning for the 5 mornings I spent there. Upsides are good breakfast buffet, great location, well decorated and everything you could possibly need packed into the small room. Read more

Rooms are very small but that was known when we booked. Personnel were very friendly and helpful. Location was great. Free Wi Fi is great. Free breakfast is awsome. Free water and sodas is the final nice touch.

Genuine Expedia guest review

My single room was preposterously small. It was difficult to get around the bed to get to the bathroom. The air conditioner and television should have been on opposite walls: The television could not be fully viewed from bed, which was the only place to lie or sit. The air conditioner was positioned to blow air directly onto the bed. The sink was connected […] to the toilet in such a way that when the sink in one room was used, it would loudly drain into the toilet in the adjoining bathroom. The location on the outskirts of Chinatown was fine. Overall, this "boutique" hotel was very disappointing, and it was not a particularly good rate, either. Read more

Would definitely stay here again. Very reasonable for a very clean room with great location (outside of the center of China town, but close walk to 2 subway stops). Rooms and bathrooms are small but adequate. There is a Hindu temple down the block that has ceremonies around 7:30 in the morning where music is played. If you are a very light sleeper, […] this might not be good for you, but I thought it added a lot to the experience and I enjoyed going to the temple in the morning! Read more

Beside the small bed, everything was according to my expectations. The staff were great, I enjoyed my stay at this hotel. Definitely I will stay there on my next trip to Singapore.

Genuine Expedia guest review

As mentioned previously, nothing to complain about. Highly satisfied despite the size of the room, not a lot of people would be comfortable in such a small room but for us it was perfection! The room we stayed in included tv, a/c, WIFI access, mini fridge for a few drinks, alarm, coffee/tea maker & a oh so lush bed that made waking up hard to do. & […] not to mention the people, they weren't lush but they were super AWESOME! Very nice! I can't wait to go again! I don't think service can get any better. Modernism all over this place & for a design student, like myself, it's heaven in Singapore. Read more

Tiny 'superior' room, but everything was great. Nice location!

Loved special touches like open drinks fridge and free ice creams on roof patio . Location great and hotel clean and functional. Nice alternative to the big main name brands.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Room was really small. Along the road and noisy. Pubs and a temple nearby adding to the noise. Bedsheet could be cleaner. In-room phone cable pin was broken, had to hold on to it to make calls and no instruction card listing the hotel reception and service numbers. Good location though, easy access to Chinatown and MRT.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The rooms are small, but cosy and very clean. The staff are excellent, everyone of them was friendly and helpful. The location of the hotel was convenient, buses, MRT and cheap taxis all easy to reach and we were close enough to walk to a lot of the places we wanted to reach.

Great budget hotel if you're looking for a clean, modern place to stay without all the frills and expense. Lots of food places around the hotel and a very nice free breakfast in the restaurant attached to the hotel. The staff couldn't be friendlier, they definitely made our stay that much more enjoyable. Great little patio with free icecreams and free […] drinks in the very small minibar was a lovely touch. We had a very small room and lots of luggage so that made the room even smaller, however we were expecting that and didn't mind it as we were only there for two nights on a stop over. Make sure you are very close to the person you share a room with as the glass bathrooms don't give you much privacy. For the price we paid, considering the general prices in Singapore, we were very happy with Hotel 1929 and would recommend to anyone looking for a welcoming budget stay in Singapore. Read more

Hotel has a lot of character. Colonial looking from the outside and boutique inside. I originally booked a superior single room and was upgraded to a deluxe. Yes the room was small which I was aware of, but I was only there to shower and sleep. Complimentary ice creams available on the patio and complimentary water and cokes in little fridge. A kettle […] to make a cup of tea was greatly appreciated. Breakfast was very good and the service from all staff was excellent. Location to buses and taxis is a extremely short walk away. My entire stay was very comfortable and highly recommended. Thank you 1929. Read more

Sorry, that I forgot her name. She is the best. I stayed there with my brothers and sister for 6 days. The rooms is very clean, except the standard room is very small. Go for […] the de luxe one. I will stay there on my next visit to Singapore Read more

Our room was very small but the staff were fantastic. The location is excellent...very near the subway and the area felt safe at night.

The hotel offered free icecream in the evening- yam, red bean and jackfruit, breakfasts were good, you could choose between hot or cold foods. […] We would definitely stay here again. Read more

Exceptionally small room but clean and tidy and good service, staff very helpful and friendly. Great location but very, very noisy. We did request a quiet room but on arrival told only street front rooms available. Cant stress enough the late night traffic noise and size of room, not much bigger than a single garage, shower is over the toilet - but […] very clean,tidyand well located close to buses, train station & taxis. We found Singapore accommodation expensive so chose Hotel 1929 and think it is reasonable value for money. We stayed 3 nights - that is the max i would stay for given noise and room size. Read more

Rooms are small but have everything you need for a practical stay. Lovely staff.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Not a bad hotel but now getting a little tired. Showers have that 'well used' look and feel. Rooms are quite small but fine for an individual business traveller who does not spend much time in the room. Hotel location excellent, right in heart of Chinatown and close to MRT. Still acceptable overall but would benefit greatly from refurbishing.

My second stay at this great little hotel. i really like the way the small rooms are set out - clever and very comfortable. Friendly staff, good breakfast to start the day & a very convenient, quiet Chinatown location. Good value for money in Singapore.

Excellent service from staff and great location - very close to MRT. However the rooms are very small and feel cramped. If you are staying for longer than one or two nights, then only a much alrger room is needed for a comfortable stay.

I really enjoyed my stay. The hotel was clean and comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful. Good breakfast. Hotel is in a good location to get to everything and close to public transport.

Staff were very helpful. Decor was modern. The room was very clean but small as noted in other reviews. It was handy that you could store suitcases under the bed. I thought it might have been noisy because the road was relatively busy but I slept very well. Breakfast was fine, small selection but fresh eggs cooked to your requirements. It was a comfortable […] walk to the street stalls of Chinatown. Read more

We arrived late at night and got an upgrade to the Verandah Suite, which sounded good because we'd read that the rooms were small. Sure, the room was small, but it was spotless, had tea/coffee facilities, a mini fridge, and a small room with shower & toilet. I walked out to the verandah and was surprised to see a huge claw-footed bath with a shower […] overhead! Also table and 6 chairs which was funny, because there's no way 6 people could have fit into that room. We had travelled from Colombo to Singapore and were hot and sticky, so turned on the taps and had a midnight bath in the open air, sheltered from the high rise by a lattice fence and a bit of greenery....it was lovely. Bed was comfortable and breakfast was very nice. Staff were very helpful in directing us to sight-seeing and looking after our baggage after we'd checked out. They even lent us a room to have a shower before our flight back to Melbourne. We looked at the other rooms and they are smaller, but quite adequate if you don't want to spend a lot of time in your room. There is a courtyard and a lounge to relax in elsewhere in the hotel. Thumbs up for value. Read more

It has good location and service staff are helpful. I book a room for single. Only issue is the room is really small. There's no place to hang the towel in shower/toilet room. No cupboards, so be prepared to live off your luggage :) The patio has got free ice cream which is not bad. But the air con compressor is right next to it and you don't need a […] heater in Singapore. Not a bad hotel as long as you can put up with small room. Read more

Had read reviews and even I was suprised at how small the rooms were. The toilet is in the shower to save space which was quite off putting and also meant you had to dry it down after showering. It also meant floor was wet for few hours after when using toilet. No wardrobes and barely space to open suitcase. That said it was clean with complimentary […] coke and water each day. Location is handy and safe. Breakfast is reasonable, I wouldn't book it unless it was for a good rate. Read more

We stayed at Hotel 1929 in Singapore twice in the past few weeks - 3 nights at the end of April then another 3 nights at the end of May. This is a small boutique hotel in Chinatown, with small, well designed rooms and with tasteful decor. Comfortable beds, tea/coffee making facilities, free wifi in rooms, free breakfast and television. The location […] is excellent in a very attractive street, very close to metro and bus stops plus a wide range of eating options from street malls to up market dining. The staff were most helpful and very friendly. On our second stay at the end of May we were delighted to find we had been upgraded to a premium Terrace room which included a large balcony with out door table and chairs plus an outdoor bath.
