Hotel 85 Beach Garden (Singapore, Singapore)

The hotel is in a great location and is central to many key landmarks in the area. The well-known Bugis Street is nearby and it's also really close to trains and an easy walk to numerous choices for food and entertainment.

This choice is a good one for those watching their wallets or purses. The rooms are crisp and clean with a simple layout. However, the units will have all you'll need for a good night's sleep and a refreshing shower. Plus, you won't have to pay for any extra fuss.

The hotel staff is friendly and helpful. Having the central reception area on the second floor adds an extra level of security that is welcome as guests have to be swiped in to get to the correct floor. Those who worry about privacy and safety will feel good about this choice.

The rooms are really small and many are closer to the proportions of being teeny-tiny. You'll barely have space to walk around the beds. Another inconvenience is that changing the temperature in your unit will require a call to the front desk.

Your only entertainment is the technology with TV or Wi-Fi. There are no amenities and no common areas for relaxing. There is also no breakfast included with the room rate.

The hotel is in a busy location and that noise can easily be heard in the room until very late at night. Loud neighbours can also easily be heard.
