Good budget hotel for one night stay but bathroom is extremely small you basically shower almost on top of the toilet lol , area is so noisy if you’re light sleeper be aware!!! bars close around 12-1 am and the noise is loud just use ear plugs ,i would only recommend if you’re really tight on budget since everything in singapore is very expensive

Staff were polite and very helpful. But the first room I had didn’t have a proper shower, just a bolt-on electric water heater. And the second room facing the road was very noisy

Great hotel for guests
Thank you so much Susan for ensuring my guest was comfortable during her stay :) Would recommend this hotel if you’re looking for a value-for-money stay that’s conveniently close to the MRT and several eateries.

Room was very small & even though the aircon worked it was very dusty. The room was clean but very old so it had marks, rust & stains. The staff were friendly & there was always someone available on the desk. Plus a late check out of 12am was great.

Great location and customer service
Convenient location with less than 5 mins walk to Chinatown food court and temple, 8 mins to metro. Susan, the owner, is super friendly and respectful. Room 403 is clean and sufficient with a king size bed, super comfortable pillows, and nice AC. Ensure to put out the sign for the staff to make up your room every day before you go out. They will also refill with fresh towels and 2 free bottles of water. Would recommend to others for a relaxing accommodation.

This hotel stay is really uncomfortable. Not suitable for family stay. Space is too small. Staffs are unfriendly. No room cleaning unless you hang a card to request for service. At night cannot sleep because noisy. Not suitable for family to stay

Nice hotel in a great location. Susan was an excellent host. Nothing was a problem for her. She organised a restaurant booking for us away from the touristy area which had great chilli crab and other tasty dishes at a reasonable price. There is also a cosy little bar attached to the hotel with comfy lounges. Plenty of restaurant and bar choices in the area.

The room is very small and not much room to move around. No bed but only using mattress on the floor cocept. Washroom and shower in one small area, and the sink dripped water whenever you used water. Strong paint smell as they were doing renovation. Not impress at all.

One step above a youth hostel
We got two rooms so we're able to see the quality of 2. The rooms are incredibly small with level changes that make it even smaller and hard to navigate. The "desks" shown im the pictures are non operational (you can't really sit at those desks and get your knees under). The bathroom door really stuck in one so you had to lift the sliding glass with both hands to open and close. My mom's room had mold on the bathroom ceiling and the step down into the shower/toilet was worry some for her at night. Both rooms had a funny smell. Our mattress was so old you could feel the springs. Get your own soap for the sink as there is none provided.The hallway was always full of laundry and big bags. This hotel is in a great location but I'd just one step above a youth hostel. Not appropriate for older people for sure. I would never stay here again.

Not for relaxing but if your backpacking like us and mostly stayed outside then I would recommend this place since it’s very close to food places like Chinatown complex and the MRT. Bathroom is moldy, comforter is moldy, and curtains are moldy.

Great location, but not if you’re a light sleeper!
The location is perfect for exploring Singapore. Right in the middle of three MRT stations and you’re surrounded by bars and restaurants. That being said, it is a little loud at night, didn’t really bother us with ear plugs in. However in the morning there is a ringing from the temple down the road which can’t be helped by the hotel but if you’re looking for a lay in and a light sleeper, I’d avoid this area altogether! The room was basic, the bathrooms at this hotel are wet rooms but it’s fine. I would stay here again if we wanted to come back to Singapore!

Small, but comfy
Perspective is important. We were a couple, looking for a one night stay in a decent, low budget hotel in Singapore. That said, Hotel 1929 met that criteria. The hotel was a short 10-15 min walk from the nearest MRT station. It was clean and the staff were courteous and professional. When we opened the door to our room, we were a little surprised at the size of the room. It was tiny. We had a relatively comfortable queen sized mattress on a raised floor, and not much room around it for our luggage. To open the luggage, it had to be on the bed. The bathroom was small, but efficient with a wet toilet, and the shower head doubling as the bidet wand. Hot water was great. The A/C worked, but was surprisingly underpowered for such a small room. Anyway, the room cost was reasonable for Singapore. Hotels in this city are quite pricey compared to surrounding asian islands. Overall, the room worked for us, but I was constantly worried about stepping off the bed platform unexpectedly and getting injured. Almost forgot to mention the balcony. Nice touch, but would have been better use of real estate if part of the enclose room.

We stayed here overnight on a stop over, which is what it is suitable for. The room is very small and would have been challenging if we had our luggage. It was clean, well priced and in an ideal location. Having our own balcony was cool too.

Hotel 1929 is in China Town which is good. Otherwise very distant from the city and major transport. Room was ultra small with 3 internal steps. Shower water falls onto the toilet seat. bed has only one open side. There is NO live TV, only video apps such as YouTube. The lift was working when we visited ( a plus!). street scene very noisy till early morning. Windows and wooden shutters were broken and flapping in the breeze. heaps of stairs in the corridors. however the sheets and towels were clean, an exception to the dilapidated state of the hotel. 1929, is sowing it's age.
