Istana Tours and Activities

this hotel is in a really convenient location, walkable to popular tourist spots like chinatown, clarke quay, and also many hawker centres with local food fare. the room itself had really good air conditioning and amenities were clean (with regular weekly cleaning). they also have a really nice lounge/reception area that is conducive for remote working. the staff was also really helpful beyond their working hours when we locked ourselves out of the room and when we needed a place to leave our luggage before the check-in time. unfortunately, the hotel is located in a street where it is close to many touristy areas and can get really noisy in the daytime. it gets better past 10pm, when tourists vacate the area, though noisy club-goers especially on wednesdays (ladies night) and the weekends could be annoying. overall, we recommend this hotel if you don't mind a lot of noise and prioritise a good location that puts you right in middle of all the action :)

A beautiful little hotel in an amazing area. Staff were off site but very helpful. No issues at all during the stay. We booked a small room which was fine for 2 people.

The location is great, close to Chinatown and MRT stations, a grocery store, and restaurants. We booked a "small room", and as advertised, it is small, but no complaints, as the room was like the photos, with a nice feature wall, and a private bathroom. Where this hotel stands out is the shared areas and the free coffee/tea - i.e., the large co-working area, the shared kitchen (with 24/7 access to coffee or tea), the wellness studio, the laundry room, and many areas inside and outside to sit and hang out. Staff are also very friendly and helpful with any requests or inquiries - i.e., our bathroom door wasn't closing, and they had someone come to fix it the same day. I would recommend for a short stay in Signapore, but especially for longer stays, as access to the shared spaces makes this hotel ideal/comfortable for longer stays.
