Ce que les clients qui ont séjourné ici ont dit
Reality check
The 'loft' concept looks cool in photos but can be annoying in practice—AC doesn't always reach the sleeping area upstairs, and navigating stairs at night is a hazard.
- You are a young couple or solo traveler who values aesthetics over space
- You plan to spend most of your time dining and drinking in Robertson Quay
- You want a hotel pool with a 'resort' vibe in the city center
Propreté et entretien
5.5
- Housekeeping: Inconsistent. High ceilings mean dust accumulates on curtains and ledges. Daily cleaning often misses corners.
- Bathroom hygiene: Major weak point. Frequent reports of mold in grout and damp smells due to poor ventilation in the small bathrooms.
- Maintenance: Showing age. Scuffed walls, worn laminate flooring, and occasional AC leaks are common complaints.
- Linens & towels: Generally clean but can feel worn/thin. Some reports of towels not being replaced for the third guest.
- Odors & scents: Musty/damp smell is a recurring complaint, likely due to the humidity and older AC systems.

Génie des chambres
Meilleurs choix
- Executive Loft (Corner rooms with L-shaped windows for better light and privacy)
- Premier Loft (Bed is on the mezzanine, living area below—better separation than Studio Loft)
Chambres à éviter
- Studio Loft (often has the bed on the ground floor, defeating the purpose of the loft)
- Rooms near the elevator (noise funnel)
Génie de demande de chambre – copier & coller
“I am requesting an Executive Loft on a high floor, preferably a corner unit for the L-shaped windows. Please ensure the room has been recently deep-cleaned, specifically checking for mold in the bathroom and dust on the high curtains.”
FAQ et astuces cachées
Tout ce que vous voulez vraiment savoir avant de réserver.
Is parking really free?
Only if you book a specific package directly with the hotel. Otherwise, it is a shocking SGD 109.50 per day for visitors. Verify this explicitly before driving.
Is the pool heated?
No, but in Singapore's heat, you won't want it to be. It's a 25m lap pool.
Can I bring my dog?
No, Studio M is strictly not pet-friendly.
Is breakfast included?
Depends on your rate. It's served at 'Breeze' on Level 2. Reviews are mixed—expect a busy buffet with standard Western/Asian options.
How far is the nearest MRT?
Fort Canning MRT (Downtown Line) is about an 850m walk (10-15 mins). Clarke Quay MRT is slightly further.
Are the stairs safe for kids?
Not recommended for toddlers. The stairs are steep and the loft railings, while standard, can be nerve-wracking for parents of active climbers.
Conseils d'initiés
- ✨
The 'Studio Loft' is the entry-level room and often has the bed on the ground floor. Pay the extra ~$20 for a Premier Loft to get the actual bed-on-top experience.
- ✨
Don't rely on the in-room fridge for perishables; it's more of a 'cooler' than a refrigerator.
- ✨
Walk to 'Zion Riverside Food Centre' (10 mins) for cheap, world-class hawker food instead of eating at the hotel.
5 choses à savoir avant de partir
💡The 'open-air' gym is basically a covered area outside—it's hot and humid.
💡The high curtains in the lofts are dust magnets and often get missed by housekeeping.
💡The bathroom sinks are sometimes located outside the bathroom in the main living area.
💡You might find ants in the room if you leave food out (common in older riverfront buildings).
💡The 'Executive Loft' is the only one with the true panoramic corner view you see in the best marketing photos.
