Easy access to Little India and Lavender Street MRT. Lavender Food Hall, which is opposite the Hotel is an excellent place to catch a bite to eat at cheap prices.

Great place to stay. B/fast basic but good. Front desk staff and housekeeping staff are friendly except one male front office staff. Getting a hello or smile out of him is like getting water out of a rock. Overall a great place , and will stay again

Difficult to find when coming from the airport, I would give better directions on the booking page. We were directed toward the other Madras Hotel and ended up there having to get a taxi to Madras Eminence. Positive feedback otherwise though, it was clean and staff were helpful. I would...

This hotel is close to little India, walking distance to MRT Lavendar Sta and Farrar Park. Very quiet environment and the room is small but clean.

Nice and very clean room in the walking distance from a subway station. Smiling and helpful staff. Very basic continental breakfast included. However the place lacks a character - it is definitely a regular hotel, not a backpacker's heaven. As of Singapore, it offers a fair price for the given...

This was more of a hotel than a hostel with the linen being changed daily. The free breakfast was a bonus, but basic. The location is good as it was only a 5-10 min walk to the MRT which is very quick! Not ideal for those seeking the nightlife as the area was very quiet but a nice stay! Would...
