Hotels near Balestier, Singapore

The hotel is located in the city center, right above a subway station, making it incredibly convenient to get anywhere. It's just a 4-minute walk to the famous Raffles Hotel, perfect for a late-night Singapore Sling. The hotel's decor is also exquisite, with an elegant Nanyang style. The singer at the bar in the evening was excellent, playing jazz, and the cocktails were great too. However, imagine this hotel having a fire alarm go off at 2 AM – a piercing broadcast that was incredibly jarring. It played twice, stating, ”There's a fire alarm, and we are investigating.” Three minutes later, it announced, ”We have completed our investigation, it was a false alarm.” And the alarm was only in English. For those who don't understand English, there'd be no one to ask in the middle of the night. After checking reviews on Google Maps, it seems this happens quite often at this hotel. Those who are light sleepers should definitely think twice about staying here.

We had an amazing stay at Shangri-La Singapore and would highly recommend it, especially for families travelling with children. The hotel is incredibly family-friendly, with fantastic facilities for both adults and kids. The swimming pool area was beautiful and perfect for relaxing with the family, while the gym was truly world-class — one of the best hotel gyms I’ve experienced. Breakfast was another highlight, with an impressive buffet offering a huge variety of choices to suit different tastes and dietary preferences. The room service was excellent, and every staff member we encountered was friendly, welcoming and attentive. The location is also very convenient — only around a 5-minute walk to Orchard Road — and the complimentary shuttle services to Sentosa and the city made getting around Singapore even easier. Overall, we had a wonderful experience from beginning to end. Excellent facilities, great food, friendly service and a fantastic location. We would definitely stay at Shangri-La Singapore again on our next family trip!

The architectural design is distinctive, the rooms are spacious, and the interior uses natural materials that exude a sense of understated luxury. The breakfast offers a wide and delicious variety, and runs until 11 AM, which is later than most hotels. Great location, close to the Mandai wildlife parks, with a food street and a 7-Eleven nearby.

You can tell the hotel has some age to it, but it is very clean overall. We booked a twin room; it's a bit small, but sufficient for two people. The front desk is located on the 4th floor of the Funan mall, and basement 2 of the mall has a direct connection to the MRT station. While there are elevators in the mall, they are quite hidden, and the signage from the MRT station isn't very clear—we pretty much just wandered around until we found it. We couldn't wake up in the morning, so we didn't get to try breakfast and can't comment on it. There are plenty of dining options near the hotel, and it's very convenient to get to popular restaurants and attractions. Getting around by MRT, public transport, or walking is all very easy.

The bad points: The hair dryer had a loose connection and kept turning on and off. I'd love to have a small shelf in the shower room to put toiletries on. The sink is also too far away, so I had no choice but to put things on the floor. The good points: All the staff were friendly and helpful. They were also very flexible in accommodating our requests.

This hotel is great for both business and family travel. Grand Park City Hall Singapore is just a three-to-five-minute walk from the City Hall MRT station. I had an exhibition at Suntec, and it was super convenient to walk there (the MRT station has City Link Mall, and an underground walkway leads directly to the convention center). The hotel has an outdoor swimming pool on the fourth floor, and the breakfast offers a rich selection of both Western and Chinese options. The only downside is that the shower water temperature in the room was always unstable; otherwise, the experience was quite good. There's also Funan mall nearby, which is more than enough for dining and shopping.

I had a great stay at Beat. Sports Hostel. The bathrooms were very clean, which I really appreciated. The staff were friendly, helpful, and welcoming. The room was comfortable and met my expectations. Overall, I think it offers good value for the money. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a budget-friendly place to stay in Singapore.

We had a wonderful stay at Robertson Quay. The experience was made even more special by the thoughtful room upgrade they offered us for our Sentosa visit. The room was comfortable, clean, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The breakfast buffet was also a highlight—there was a good variety of choices, and everything was fresh and satisfying. The staff were warm, accommodating, and genuinely helpful throughout our stay. Overall, it was a very pleasant and memorable experience. We truly appreciated the little touches and excellent hospitality. We would gladly stay here again on our next visit to Singapore!

We booked this hotel because it's new, and it's actually quite nice. The location is near Raffles Place MRT station, and walking to the Merlion isn't far either. The surrounding area seems to be mainly financial office buildings, so there are so many business professionals coming and going. As tourists blending in, staying here made us feel like expats on a business trip—everyone was in suits. The room has pots, pans, and an induction cooker, which really makes it suitable for business travelers who want to cook. The bathroom is huge, but the only downside is that the room itself isn't very large; opening two 28-inch suitcases makes it very cramped.

My second stay here, and just like my first visit, everything was just as lovely. The room is comfortable, and I always receive such a warm welcome from the front desk. I especially love the shower room — the water pressure is always amazing! It’s cosy and comfortable enough for a little escape, although one night is never enough. The location is absolutely perfect and makes everything so convenient. I’ll definitely be back the next time I return to Singapore. ❤️
