Cheap hotel in a bad neigborhood. Don't book this; rather spend some extra money so at least you're in a good place. To far from the city, no warm water, cranky staff and wifi didn't work in the lobby. In singapore hotels are just expensive; I accepted that fact and won't trap into this again.

Average hotel, but for such cheap price you really can't complain. Staff was all very friendly, courteous and helpful during my 2 night stay. Also a 5-7 minute walk to the Singapore MRT train station, so quite convenient. The room I stayed in was quite small, but enough space for two people and a small child. However, the hotel is situated right in […] middle of the Gayleng district, and at night time many prostitutes are wandering nearby, so families with kids might want to consider staying elsewhere if that kind of stuff is a concern. Overall, a average decent hotel I recommend for people looking for a place to stay with low budget. Read more

Ok the good things about this place was it was relatively cheap for singapore.Bad things; It is in Geylang is a red light district and next to a brothel, but has great food if you know what you are looking for. It was a little small but that is expected for the price. There is obvious signs of mold due to poorly constucted bathroom. The water goes everywhere […] when you shower. The sheets are really cheap and low quality. The bed is plastic. Its good if you want to just explore the town and only use it for a shower and bed. Read more

This hotel smelled like pee. Arrival: The hotel looked fine from the outside, though it was in the red light district. We didn't find this to be a problem, but it could be a bit unnerving to the not-so-street-smart traveller or females traveling solo who are arriving late at night. The person who checked us in was very nice and seemed to enjoy doing […] his job. The stay: The room seriously smelled of urine. We think the source was old leaky pipes.The room itself was clean and satisfactory enough. Note that the mattress is made of vinyl and the sheets don't stay on very well. (Methinks the vinyl has something to do with the red light district though this hotel doesn't seem to be the type that serves the hourly clientele.) Some people or perhaps staff were very noisy in the hall and interrupted our sleep. Conclusion: Hotels are expensive in Singapore, but I'd say go ahead and make the splurge to stay in the center if you can. If you are on a real budget, consider a hostel in Little India. If you must stay in the Geylang district, this wasn't the worst experience ever. It does have nice bus and metro connections which I considered a plus. And seeing some "real" Singapore was interesting as well. Read more

Great hotel for short stay . Great value for the money

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I can't say enough about how helpful the desk staff were - they were even able to direct me to a coin laundromat in the neighborhood when I needed to do laundry but didn't want to pay by-the-item prices. The room was a bit cramped - I had to sidle my way around the edges of the bed - but it was clean and well-maintained. I believe this was the only […] budget-friendly hotel I stayed in while traveling through Malaysia and Singapore that provided a full-sized flat-screen television. The hotel is within walking distance of two mass transit stations, but it's not necessarily what I would consider a short walk. The nearby transit line is very convenient to central Singapore and the airport, though. My only other complaint is that the hotel charges for Wifi internet access by selling blocks of time that expire when the user logs out - this was a shock after getting used to the ubiquity of free Wifi in nearby Malaysia. As for the neighborhood, which seemed to bother many other reviewers... It's a vibrant, diverse working-class neighborhood with a variety of affordable food options and a busy nightlife. Yes, there are adult shops, brothels and pockets of street walkers in the area but it's not nearly as seedy as many would make it out to be. In all honesty you could find worse things on Orchard Road. Regardless of the surroundings, the hotel felt clean and family-oriented. Would definitely stay again. Read more

Room was too small. There was virtually no space to walk around. Less than one foot gap between bed and the two sides of wall. My two luggages were hitting against the front door and the bathroom door. Overall, very disappointed with room, check-in and almost everything. Room rate is too expensive. No free wifi, not worth to pay extra for it.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We'd previously stayed downtown, but the Fragrance Pearl is only a Singpore $6 cab ride from most attractions and the district is packed with great Chinese, Malay and Indian cuisine. The staff was helpful and friendly. The small rooms are efficiently organized. Only problem: bottom sheets are a bit small and tend to slip out from under the mattress. An […] excellent value for price and would probably be my first choice for a return visit. Read more

This place was awful. Dirtiest hotel I have ever stayed at. I chose it because I thought it would be close to the airport at a reasonable price. We showed up late and there were prostitutes everywhere on the surrounding streets. The room was filthy, the bathmat rug was dirty and hairy, the towels and sheets did not look clean, and the blanket on the […] bed looked dirtier than the surrounding prostitutes. When we checked in there was a girl throwing up in the lobby chair, which the staff didn't do much about. If you want a hotel in the same price range and distance, stay at the Fragrance Selegie, which was by no means great, but better than this dump. Read more

10 minutes walk to train SMRT train station” Kallang”. 15-20 minutes drive from the airport The hotel is located in the middle of Red line district in Singapore. But area is relatively safe even at night. (But I do not recommend single female walk at night. ) There are many restaurants near the hotel open all day. Chinese is most common language spoken […] in this particular area. Hotels in Singapore over all are expensive. Why not have some different experience in staying in red line district, Hotel people are very nice and friendly. This is good hotel for budget travelers. There are other Fragrance hotels in Geylang. Fragrance Pearl was renovated in Oct-2010. so relatively new. I recommend this hotel. Read more

The location is not necessary close to the Aljunied MRT station, especially if you have to walk with some luggage. However, the room that I stayed in was very nice and clean. Front desk staff was friendly and helpful. I appreciate the luggage-storing access after check out. It is in the red light district if it's ok with you. There are many food vendors […] around the hotel at nite. Will definitely consider staying at this location again in the future. FYI, it's cheaper to book the room thru hotels.com instead of the hotel's website. Read more

THE GIRL RECEPTIONIST HAD SET OFF MY MOOD ON ARRIVAL. SHE WAS NOT FRIENDLY NOR PROFESSIONAL COMPARE TO HER COUNTER PART, MALE RECEPTIONIST WHO WAS CHEERFUL AND POLITE. HOTEL NEEDS MAJOR RENOVATION AND NEED TO WORK WITH AUTHORITY TO ELIMINATE OR AT LEAST MINIMIZE OPEN PROSTITUTION ACROSS THE STREET AND SURROUNDINGS.

the room has about 7 square meters,very small, very dirty, very bad location, you'll be better off sleeping at the bus stop, please dont go to this hotel, its awfull, the room has disgusting stain all over the walls, there are prostitutes all around the area and dirty chinese people spitting all over the place. the worst hotel I ever stayed at.

Good

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

It was fine for one night. It's an easy 10 minute walk to the MRT, and it takes about 35 minutes to get to the airport from there. The neighborhood is awash with restaurants, and it's a nightlife spot in the red light district, located in a bustling neighborhood on the outskirts of downtown Singapore. The room is rather small, the bed is very comfortable, […] and it's spotlessly clean. Read more

good for a night of stay. i stayed in fragrance harbor front the cleanliness is better.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Overall, the Fragrance Hotel Pearl is good for 2-night stay based on their rates but there are few things they could improve especially on their services. There is no wifi and their internet access at business center (with minimum charge) is very slow. Their staff are very helpful in our email inquiries by responding in details and promptly and also […] during our stay. The hotel is quite far from Aljunied MRT station and you need to hire taxi if you have big luggages. The surrounding going to the hotel is quite interesting because you can see people selling different items. There are many small restaurants you can find where you could eat or drink beers. I think it is very safe place but for trips with children, this is not ideal. Read more

Even though the staff were freindly enough, it did not help on the fact that the standard of the room were dissapointing with noise from an ongoing renovation just beside our room and after being moved to another a malfunctioning aircon...not a hotel we like to use again

The rome was not clean at all and there were messy spots on the linnen. The bed was made of plastic and was very hard to sleep on. The linnen fell of the bad all the time. The toilet was as well not clean and smelt weird. The location of the hotel is in a hocker area (singapores red light district). And it's far from the city centrum.

The room cleanliness was very disappointing. My wife found the tiolit bowl dirty which was not satisfactory

Genuine Expedia guest review

Although the staff was very helpful, location of the hotel is very bad, its very far from the MRT and the surrounding is bad plenty as its located in red light district, when I booked i never expected that. First I have been given a room which can communicate with other room and i refused it cause not safe fi thought. Do not go there if you are travelling […] alone!! Read more

In Manila I booked two twin bedrooms but such was not the case while in Singapore, the desk officer told me that my reservation is subject to availability. If I know in the beginning the kind of treatment they accord a guest then I would have change my mind at the very instance of booking. Rooms were not keep up despite advice. It was never a fragrance […] stay??? Read more

ROOM - Cozy & Clean ! TV - Channel vasantham central not available and i couldn't catch my favorite show! HOTEL SERVICE – Will be rushed out like crazy by staffs if we exceeded check out time! If extending hrs, will be charged $39p/hr instead of $10p/hr like any other hotels!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

it surrounded by too many Chinese restaurants and NOTHING ELSE, its far from downtown and if you want to get the restaurant except Chinese one, you have to take a cab so its better to pay more for your hotel to stay in better place rather than to pay for a taxi.

This is a very basic hotel, but it's done very well. The staff are helpful, the room is clean and for Singapore this is a very reasonably priced hotel. I will definitely stay here again.

This is one of the worst hotel experiences! The area is a really awful version of Singapore and if this was a first experience (which for me thankfully it was not) I doubt you would return to Singapore.Everything was extra, extra and cheap and tacky.Don't stay here!!

I needed a comfortable hotel due to transiting overnight. Easy to get to from the airport on the MRT. The room was adequate for my needs and staff were helpful. I felt the price was appropriate for the hotel services. Some comments say that the neigbourhood is the 'red-light' district of Singapore but no such business were obvious to me (not that I […] was looking). Lots of excellent places to eat. I'd stay here again if I need to transit. Read more

The room we were given when we booked in was small, hot and there was no fridge. WE ASKED TO BE GIVEN A NEW ROOM WHICH WAS NOT POSSIBLE THAT NIGHT BUT WE WERE ASSURED THT IT COULD BE DONE. Staff were very helpful and we moved to a family room the next day. Both housekeeping staff and reception were exceptional.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This is a no frills hotel, convenient for over night stays in Singapore. That is all

enjoyed our stay esp. the very accommodating front desk personnel of the hotel EXCEPT the room cleaners who cannot be trusted and stole money/cash worth 200 SGD while we were away, i reported the matter and turned out I was not the only one who had been stolen money on that day so i suggest the hotel mngt should fire that cleaning guy on duty that day […] or else the hotel reputation will be affected...watchout hotel guests DO NOT LEAVE YOUR VALUABLES when you are out of the room....
