upon our arrival we stayed first at the YMCA. its double room was very small even its beds were very narrow. we had no choice but take 2 double rooms for a small family of 4. next day, we sought out strand hotel's family room. at about 50sqm it had a wide queen bed, and 2 wide double beds plus... more

I can see why this was one of the very few hotels available in Singpore when everything was booked out. We had no choice but to stay here after arriving from Frankfurt without a Singpore hotel booking. The room was very large and the beds comfortable enough. Thankfully the bathroom was clean but very basic. What was creepy was that... more

I recently returned to Singapore for a few days (after living there for years) and was shocked at the increase in hotel prices. I was struggling to find last minute availability and called the Strand hotel directly: paid SGD$180 for a double, including bfast.

Run, don’t walk, away from this calamity – not worth the hassle and not much of a budget hotel at a rate of just under USD 150 per night!

We stayed for two nights in early August. Arriving late in the evening after having spent the day travelling from Siem Reap via Bangkok, we were looking forward to grabbing something to eat and getting some sleep. Reception, lifts and corridors gave a good impression but this evaporated when we saw the room - very basic and gloomy but we... more

While at the Strand, we stayed in the family room for S$ 160 which has two double beds and one single bed for our first stay. Two of the kids did not want to share bed, so we asked for a room with one double and 3 single beds for our second stay, which the hotel obliged. We like the... more
