ibis budget Singapore Sapphire

It is a good place to stay if you are looking for a more budget-friendly place to stay in Singapore. The room was simple but clean, everything was working in order. The staff were helpful and friendly. The location is a little far from the metro station, but it has a bus stop right on the corner, so no problem in getting where you need to go. The neighborhood has several shops and restaurants that are open until later in the night, so it is safe to walk around and there in case you need to bite to eat. If you are worried about it being at the red-light district, don't be. First, soliciting is illegal so none of the girls or the guys in front of the motels will approach you. Second, the hotel is right at the start of the neighborhood, and most of the "action" happens deeper inside. So, as long as you don't go looking for it you won't even notice.

No mini fridge in the room. I paid more for the room with a window since I like to let fresh air in, but it doesn't open.

For 2* hotel it has everything we needed :) Go for it! Everything was easy: to find the hotel, to check-in (room was ready an hour earlier thanks to which I no longer had to sleep sitting in the lobby 😅), to drink the tap water(while having sensitive stomach), to find the metro, bus stop, something fancy and less fancy to eat. Bed was comfortable I couldn't really recognize that we are in the red lantern district.

One thing that perhaps could be improved: having a water squeegee in the bathroom would make life so much better after the shower. Otherwise anything you needed to do in the bathroom after shower felt like tapping in a pond.

The room is very clean and just the right size for 3 pax, has space for our luggage, has a dresser that can also be used as a table for your laptop, it has plenty of storage for your things/stuffs. The beds are very comfortable. The room has a hair blower, electric kettle, coffee, cream, sugar, tea, coffee mug & coffee stirrer. TV is working.

There is one staff member that is not approachable and a little grumpy (he's old) but the other staff are very welcoming and easy to talk to. The room has no bidet in the toilet, that's the one thing I wish they provided in the room, because I'm not used to using tissues only. And also the location is far from the tourist spots, and a little far from the MRT Station, its a long walk when we come back to the hotel. Other than that everything is perfect.

The rooms were neat and clean. Beds were comfortable. Housekeeping was good. However please note the size of the rooms are small keeping with the budget concept of the place. The Tap water is drinkable. However there is no bar fridge. The location is accessible to all transportation. The MRT stations are nearby but require a small walk of around 10 minutes. Lots of small shops and a 7/11 to cater to your daily needs. There is a 24 hour eating joint bang in front, however food quality there is ok. Please note the area around the Hotel is a little dinky but very safe. If your travel requirements are just a comfortable bed and a safe place for your luggage and you intend to be out the entire day then this is for you. Resort and Spa it is not.

Actually nothing other than maybe the size of the bath. Some rooms have big ones and some have just a closet.

Have flown into Singapore on transit four times in the last 12 months. This was the first time I went with a 'budget' option not in the Marina district. Price wasn't necessarily much cheaper, more had to settle due to availability. The hotel is located in the heart of the red light district but you wouldn't know if you didn't know. Close to cheap food and relatively close to the airport. Rooms as presented, small and functional. The bed has hands down the most comfortable mattress I've slept on throughout my previous week trip through Europe.

There is 1 universal PowerPoint in the entire room and 1 Singaporean. Bit disappointing considering most people have at least two devices to charge at any given time, let alone a couple travelling together.

Room cleanliness exceeds my expectations, along with the toilet being pretty clean and comfy. For a budget hotel, I for sure did not expect this level of comfiness given by the hotel. Aside from that, the location is strategic as it is quite close to the center of the city with easy access to public transport.

Unfortunately the location is very near to the red light district area which is quite the only thing I find negative for this hotel, since I personally do not like the vibe the district gave, but aside from that, anything is excellent in my opinion.

Location was good, easy accesesable with a local transport. Also, many shops in 1 min. walk to buy the food an beverage incl. coffe shop. Room was very clean. Room with two beds are little bit small. But familiy rooms are very comfortable. So, it is advisable to book a family room for two persons as well. Staff were very supportive and helpfull.

Size of the two bedroom is little bit small and not comfortable compare to the family room size

The hotel is near a bus station and a lot of eateries. There is also a Valu$ near it, along Geylang Road. Towels were changed everyday even without a request. But cleaning the room must be requested by hanging a "make-up" sign. There were coffee, creamer, sugar, cups (for 2), kettle, blower provided and tissues at the bathroom. Hot water is available but you need to turn on the water heater button beside the light switchs.

None. But if you have medium to large luggages, you might not be able to open it without putting it over the bed. My friend and I have small luggages, thus, it was not an issue. We only stayed for 3 nights in Singapore, that's why we don't have a lot. And I'm not sure but they might have large bedrooms. The hotel was quiet far from the airport but since the transportation system is good, it was not a big deal.

Room size, design, quietness, matrass and pillows, price

Strangers’ hair in the bathroom, lack of amenities like soap near the sink or cups for the toothbrushes, tea bags were not renewed if used once, window doesn’t open so you have to sleep with the air cond on. And the location - but it’s fine if you leave in the morning and come back late in the evening. Otherwise not very convinient. Sometimes there is smell from the bathroom.

On a quiet street, close to a few local eating places. A short walk to a train stop to take you into the cbd. The bed was comfortable and the room aircon was great! Could amend the temp and the fan speed. We slept very well. Room size is only big enough to sleep, you can’t do much else. But would recommend to stay if you’re going to be out all day like we were.
