70%Madras Hotel  

Friendly, helpful staff, a comfortable, clean room, but a pity about all the noise until about 4 a.m. from the nearby backpackers hotel.

The Madras Hotel is quite acceptable for the price, considering that Singapore is very expensive. The only thing that might be a problem is the NOISE outside at night - my room was an interior one, and was OK, but I could hear lots of singing and merry-making going on from an establishment... more The Madras Hotel is quite acceptable for the price, considering that Singapore is very expensive.

I slept with earplugs, so it didn't bother me. In general, it was OK for the price.close

Very rigid and unaccommodating staff. Be warned! There are 2 bars that are VERY noisy close by and will keep you up. We stayed at the Fragrance Selegie, which is a block away and eqidistant from Little India MRT station for the same cost, but had to move due to availability. It is definitely...

Although decent facilites and in a good convenient location, I cant understand how they charge SGD$99 for these rooms. They are nice, but overpriced.

Decent hotel for the price in Singapore. The staff was very helpful, but the front rooms could be loud because of the neighboring bar. Breakfast is minimal, just tea and toast and jam. The neighborhood is colorful, but can be loud on weekends, particularly Sunday, when the male Indian guest...

Basic but clean and in good location. Tea and toast in the morning is a nice touch, especially if you are sick of eating Laksa for brekkie! Wi fi in rooms is a bonus. At S$79 its not the cheapest but you do get a room with a window and an en suite so fairly good value for money. No...

It felt like we were sleeping in the bar next door, the music was that loud. It went on until the early hours of the morning. You could hear people on the street talking, and we were on the 3rd floor. The reception staff weren't very helpful and were very moody if they had to leave their chair... more It felt like we were sleeping in the bar next door, the music was that loud.
