It was my first time ever travelling with our kiddos to Singapore. I need to find a hotel with a short walking distance to green line MRT station, a hotel with a great swimming pool, yet our budget is limited. So I need to find a hotel which allowed us to take two children under 12 years old. Through "free cancelation" privillage from Booking.Com first we booked Parkroyal on Beach Road, but than we cancelled as it's a 20 minutes walk to Bugis MRT. Than we changed our booking to Studio M hotel. The Studio M hotel request us to add an extra bed for our 4 years old boy! So we changed to other hotel again:p At the end I choosed Landmark Village Singapore Hotel, of course I wasn't sure of my booking beacause of all negative reviews on Tripadvisor. However many of the reviews said that the pool area is nice.
We took taxi from Changi, it cost about 20 sgd at noon time, and the drive took only 20 minutes. The check in was fast, however when we entered the hotel we smell this strange aromatic smell, which we got used to it on our next day:p I requested to get a room on the highest floor available for our superior room, and we got room at the 11th floor. Yes the hotel is an old hotel, the furniture of our room looks very 80's, but however it has an LCD tv with HBO, Disney Channels and so on..and also it was spacious enough for our kiddos.
We got a free breakfast and also free wifi for our room. The breakfast was at the indian resto on the 5th floor. It was a very basic breakfast, that we only tried once and the next day we enjoyed halal and cheap breakfast around the Sultan Mosque. The hotel location is only 5 minutes walk to Bugis MRT. There's also a nearby bustop at Ophir road which is passed by SEX bus, taking us directly from the Singapore Zoo. From bus stop Bugis STN we took bus 133 to Suntec. I also went to Little India using bus 130 from Bugis STN bus stop. Location wise, this hotel is very accessible. But the hotel looks very tired and old. For us, the LCD with cable tv and also the pool really made up our stay at Landmark Village Bugis.

ReplyDeleteAround 200 SGD per night Mba Muna
DeleteMba dari queen street terminal bagaimana mencapai hotel ini? Makasih :)
ReplyDeleteHai Mba Dini, tinggal jalan kaki keluar terminal bus ke jalan besar (Victoria Street), nyeberang jalan dan sampai di hotel ini. Deket banget kok Mba.
Deletemba tesya kl dari mrt bugis ke hoyel ini exitnya dimana ya?hehe,soale baca di beberapa review kl hotelnya sulit dicari,yq infonya ya mba
ReplyDeleteHai Mba Anita, wah masa ada yang review sulit dicari? Padahal gampang banget asalkan exitnya bener aja dari Bugis MRT.
Delete1. MRT Bugis exit A, exit yang sama menuju Raffles Hospital.
2. Begitu keluar MRT Station, Mba akan berada di sebuah bus stop. Jalan ke arah kanan, lurus.
3. Lewatin lampu merah kedua, belok kanan. Hotelnya ada di kanan.
Mba, untuk anak2x kena charge lagi engga ?
ReplyDeleteHai Mas, di booking.com tertulis "free for child under 12 when using existing bed"
Deletesalam kenal mba tesya, saya arief.
DeleteSaya juga baca di booking.com tertulis seperti di atas...
"free for child under 12 when using existing bed". Tapi apakah info di booking.com reliable/valid mba ? takutnya hanya tertulis di booking.com saja tapi kenyataan sebaliknya, mengingat booking.com bukan website resmi hotelnya?
trims
Hello, untuk kasus ini, saya biasanya print screen kata kata yang ada di booking.com Kalau mereka nanti masalahin, saya jadi punya pegangan kan.
DeleteSo far enggak pernah masalah sih...
Sorry mbak....tapi saya pernah book hotel di indonesia lewat booking.com....disitu saya bayar with breakfast...dan saya screenshot layar ipad....ehh sampe sana dia ngelak katanya tanpa sarapan, yg anehnya receitionis. Ya ngebahas sama bos nya di belakang tembok dan apa yg terjadi, terpaksa menginap tanpa sarapan,,,karena uda dibayar via transfer bank
ReplyDeleteWah Mba Karin, itu sih parah hotelnya. Mustinya Mba langsung email customer service booking dot com, fast response mereka.
DeleteMba mau tanya apakah hotel v lavender memperbolehkan 1 kamar terdapat 2 dewasa 1 anak dan 1 bayi (1y)
ReplyDeleteV Lavender kalau resmi di web nya hanya boleh 2 anak dan 1 dewasa, karena memang kamarnya kecil.
DeleteKalau hotel Village Bugis yg saya ceritakan ini, boleh 2 dewasa dan 2 anak.
mba, deposit nginep di village hotel berapa?
ReplyDeletebawa duit pas-pasan buat shopping tapi tetap mau tidur yang nyaman....
Hai..biasanya sih satu malam harga kamar. Tapi kan bisa dibayar pake cc aja depositnya, jadi enggak mengganggu cash on hand hehe..
DeleteHai mbk tesya..
