ibis budget Singapore Mount Faber

Very good location, almost at bus stops on both sides, 5-7 minute walk to the MRT or 2 bus stops. A very good small eating place is there adjoining the hotel - open from 7-11. Room was quire small, as expected from a budget hotel, but had all the essentials. It was very clean & hot water & a/c was working perfectly. Bed was very comfortable. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

You get what you pay for, but even this was lacking. Checking in at 3pm 3 staff members were outside smoking - not an issue but after checking in I needed Wifi password, calls to reception went unanswered - went down - all outside again smoking. The rooms are tiny. I think this is a hotel for "short term" (hourly stays). A big sign offering discounts if you check in after 9pm seems to point this direction along with the plastic mattress. Rooms are tiny - and Singapore sized beds. Optimistically there was a folded suitcase stand in the room, but honestly, I would not have known where to put it. Shower is the small foot space infront of toilet. Also there are a bunch of chickens (really) that live outside, and they love to crow at about 5am. Having said it was clean, and checking out the staff member was attentive and nice.

Nice and friendly

A very satisfying experience overall. The staff were very helpful and friendly and it was easy for us to check-in because they also have a Filipino staff. The room is a bit small, but that’s expected for a budget hotel. There’s still plenty room for luggage storage. The only main issue we had was the bathroom door in one of the rooms wouldn’t close all the way but it wasn’t much of a big deal.

The small rooms all made up for kind friendly and helpful staff. They are also helpful to my elderly parents. The cafe Fuel Plus behind the hotel and the trail up Mount Faber and the Henderson Wave, Hort Park and the links to all the trails made it a good stay. The bus stop outside have buses to Vivocity and Harbor Front Mrt and the gateway to Sentosa. All these is just within 3 minutes of journey time. Alternatively a 5-10 minute walk to Harborfront mrt. Convenient. Don’t mind the roosters as it will lulls you to sleep eventually. I had a very sound sleep and rest. Also the hiking makes it a healthy trip too.
