Enjoyed our stay; the location is excellent but being Little India it has its own noisiness and other distractions. However, it is an excellent place for the price paid. Would recommend it to anyone.

Good little place, based in Singapore's "little India" district, near some good restaurant's, both Chinese and South Indian. Good choices for vegetarians too.. Quite central, you can take the bus service from this area and easily get around to other parts of Singapore, I recommend... more Good little place, based in Singapore's "little India" district, near some good restaurant's, both Chinese and South Indian. Good choices for vegetarians too.. Quite central, you can take the bus service from this area and easily get around to other parts of Singapore, I recommend heading to the quay and harbor during the evening for a bit to eat and checking out the nightlife.close

For the price I paid, I expected basic facilities, like a hair dryer, and more lighting. The water pressure is also lacking. But it's overall a good environment, safe and clean, with a decent breakfast.

I would highly recommend this hotel. Excellent breakfast, free WiFi, clean room, and outstanding friendly staff. Price is fair as well.

Hotel is nice and very clean. Staff is friendly. Its location is walkable from MRT but I was too tired to walk at night.

Nice hotel with friendly staff. Good Location in the vibrant quarter of Little India, about 10 minutes walk from the next underground station (MRT). The room was clean and comfortable, but a little dark. The breakfast could be better.

The Hotel didn't have my booking via the Hostelworld Website but quickly sorted me with a room when I presented them with the reservation details. Close to the underground Station.

As I gathered from the hostelworld site before reserving this hotel, in reality, it turned out to be a good hotel with freindly staff. The location in little India is very convenient.

The room was clean and comfortable but very dark as it seemed to be in between floors and only had one small frosted glass window. It was good to have airconditioning that you could leave on when you went out to keep the room cool as it would have been unpleasantly hot at night without it.close

I think this hotel is often fully booked, it's a shame when people don't cancel and the rooms can't be rented and the hotel gets no money, hostelworld provides a service and they get paid either way, but the hotel doesn't so call if you're not taking your room as other will appreciate the space...

As |I was staying alone I had to stay in a twin room as all single rooms were booked and I had to pay for two people which made it expensive. The day before I booked in the single rooms became available which leads me to believe that they fill their most expensive rooms first. The location was ok in Little India but with the MRT you coukld have stayed anywhere. One member of staff was lovely the other over charged me for the internet use and was short. All in all this is not worth the money they charge I feel.close

Because of the Singapore Marathon this was booked out - lucky us! As a result, we discovered the Perak Hotel. It has character and is located in an area of Singapore that feels like Asia - not just another generic world city. The hotel was clean, professionally run, close to public transport and the staff were always helpful. We would not hesitate to stay there again.close

Perak Lodge is in a fantastic location, right in the heart of Little India, and that is its main drawcard, but it was a comfortable and attractive place in its own right as well.

I was charged double what you said i would pay. I arrived late in the evening and had no choice to pay the extra $55approx. Iam not very happy about this as i am a backpacker on a tight budget.

I'm very disappointed with the rate which is not suitable with the condition of room. Our room is very small, with also a very small window that placed so high, so we cannot see anything.

Our room is very small, with also a very small window that placed so high, so we cannot see anything. I will never forget my husband face and he blamed me because I choose this hotel. We feel that we are trapped and have no choice, because we arrive at Singapore at midnight, and they make us to pay the room at the moment we arrive, strange isn't it? Usually the guest will pay the hotel bill when they are leaving the hotel, am I right. So, after 2 nights (that we have to spend there, because we already pay it), we move to another hotel that bigger, better, and nearer to downtown, with the rate that almost the same, Allson Hotel. (I don't believe it, we only pay SGD 24 more, and the size of our room is triple than before, including the large bathroom with bathtub inside). I will never, never, stay at Perak Hotel anymore! (By the way, the sign of this hostel is Perak Hotel, not Perak Lodge, maybe they want to raise the rate but not the service).close

nice place, and the gentleman who was on the desk when we arrived couldnt have been more helpful. However the staff the following day we're polite but not nearly as helpful, as the gentleman on the previous night.

Lovely hotel, friendly staff, good breakfast. Short walk from station, easy walk to sightseeing - Orchard Road, Raffles, etc. Unfortunately, there is a nightclub a few doors down and we were kept awake until about 3am on a Friday night with the noise. I would still recommend staying here though.

Its a good hotel for the value. Just an issue with the desk staff were not that welcoming to my parents who came to meet us there but were not staying there. Small issue. Most staff were very helpful.

Wireless doesn't work that well in many of the rooms, particularly upstairs. They should change the access point channel so it is not 6 - all of the neighbouring buildings are also using channel 6, resulting in interference.
