Searching...

Well, it was pleasant when I first walked in to check at the counter. When I went upstairs and opened my room..well, the door wouldn't open so I had to go back downstairs to tell the staff. About five minutes later I was in the room and it smelt like someone had urinated all over the room!! Really, Fragrance???? What kind of Fragrance? lol Enough rant though, what can one expect for only $70 SPD in red light district, as I was told by my taxi driver the next morning. I would say if you are on a budget, give this place a shot but bring a can of lysol with you. Otherwise, there are better choices in Singapore. It was difficult for me to sleep here because the A/C was making a strange noise. At least the service was excellent, that is about all else I can say.

We arrived early, the check-in time is 2 pm., the hotel staff allowed us to leave our luggage while we went around to have lunch. If you just want a hotel where you can leave your things then be back at night to have a comfortable room with air condition, then I highly recommend this hotel. I complained regarding the smell of the bathroom, Probably they should put a deodorant. The water pressure is good and the heater is functioning. They change the towels everyday. The size of the room is enough for a couple. The area is near the bus stations and around 10 min to MRT station. For those who do not know, there is an airport shuttle which is 9 sgd per person, much cheaper than taxi. They will bring you to the doorstep of your hotel. Taxi is 55 sgd. Fragrance Hotel Pearl is good.The staff is helpful and courteous. You get the value of what you have paid for.

We arrived midnight so there's sort of night fee taxi drivers add to their usual charge. We were charged S$24.50 going to Fragrance Hotel - Pearl. But i saw the meter that it's just S$14.50. The taxi gave us the receipt and fare enough that there is really late night fee so additional around S$10. On our way here, we did not notice anything unusual. Just quite disappointed and restless. No free wifi. Charge is at least S$ 5 for 2hrs only and take note: ONLY ONE GADGET ALLOWED.No bell boy so i call it they got "TAKE YOUR OWN LUGGAGE TO YOUR ROOM" policy. The reception is quite tiny but we were glad to see the elevators. When we got inside our room, we were restless coz the room clearly looks far different from their pictures online (agoda). Glass window and cabinets are available. Flat screen TV with ONLY 8 AVAILABLE CHANNELS (barely 2 English channel depending on the time) Aircon's swing is busted so we really felt direct coldness to our face. But due to exhaustion, we just didn't mind the tiny room and bathroom and the aircon and we just wanted to sleep. Unfortunately, we had a hard time going to sleep since the bed and pillows were hard as a rock. The following day, the receptionist agreed to our request to transfer us to a different room.From the 2nd floor, they transferred us to the 4th floor. But guess what, same old same old room and even worse coz our ceiling has water drips history. Same aircon prob, same hard bed and pillows and same tiny bathroom.The only thing we like at the hotel is the availability of food (even 24hrs). Very affordable food with fresh seafood cuisines. THAT"S IT.Because if you leave the hotel past 9 or 10AM, you'll sweat like a pig when you'll reach the MRT (aljunied station). Walking is not an issue to me but upon the scorching heat of the sun (especially during our stay, last week, summer) it was such a big fuss for us. no path way avail. and it will take around 1520 mins walk. Far right?Worse is at night, on your way back to the hotel. I was so annoyed with what I saw! There are other male nationals there who stares at you as if you are getting naked. And the women who displays their flesh to everyone. It is so annoying and awkward for me since I am not used to such crowd. While waiting at the lobby, I seen locals who checks-in with the hooker who I saw earlier. I asked my hubby to leave right away since obviously it is a motel in that area. Hotel for foreigners but motels for locals. I strongly don't recommend this hotel. I thought that this hotel really offered us good price since we'll stay for 6days but I was wrong. This hotel is really cheap to their standards because basically it's not a hotel. I suggest not to stay anywhere at this area especially if you're group of girl friends.

i went there during a school trip, our teachers advised us not to go out late at night ( since it was a "red-light district ) ..the room was really SMALL ! Once we had done placing our luggage, we had trouble walking around the room..when we slept, the bed sheet fell off and we used it as a blanket.. The air-cond was extremely COLD.. The bathroom is okay though.. We had a great time there actually - In the early morning we woke up to sneak to another room for company, we knocked on the door a few times, and ran to hide ourselves ( so that they'd be spooked ) , only we got to the wrong room, after an old woman opened the door, looking dumbfounded and frightened, we felt guilty but laughed at the same time..Poor old woman.. ??- had Fun Times in S'Pore ???? I LOVE SINGAPORE ?????

If you are a simple tourist who just want to take a peak in singapore, I strongly recommend Fragrance Hotel Pearl. It is walking distance to Aljunied train station. Decent room though little bit small. Just right for a couple with a child. Water pressure is good. Near to a lively street of Geylang where there's a lot of eateries. And also the staff are polite and accommodating.
