Hotel Faber Park Singapore - Handwritten Collection

Arrived at Changi Airport at 1:00 a.m. and didn’t arrive at hotel (after immigration and baggage collection) until about 2:30 a.m. [taxi was about 45 Singapore dollars by the time all the surcharges were added) I was worried as the hotel noted that you had to download an app for the digital key, but it was no problem as staff was there to greet us and check us in. Room is compact, but clean and comfortable. Only about one kilometer from the “1 Maritime Square, cruise terminal”. I would definitely stay here again if our travels brought us to Singapore again.

This hotel is conveniently located just a stone’s throw from Sentosa, with excellent transport links via the Metro and bus. It’s also close to Vivocity and HarbourFront shopping malls, making it a great base for exploring the area. The room was very clean and well-maintained, though a bit smaller than expected. However, the friendly and accommodating staff made up for it. Overall, it’s a great option for short stays in Singapore.

Clean + comfortable room. Large king size bed - although mattress a bit too firm for us. Bed takes up most of the room space. Only one small stool to sit on - but this is Singapore, space is limited, so it's expected. We stowed our suitcases under the bed and used the sofa/chairs in the lobby to read. Perfectly adequate shower and separate toilet cubicles within the room, plus a sink, small counter, clothes rail, small table and small bedside shelves. Air conditioning is good throughout. Hotel sits on a busy road, with an elevated dual carriageway above that - we looked out onto this from our room on the fourth floor - and assumed that the tinted floor to ceiling windows prevented anyone seeing into the room as, apart from the dark curtains, there are no window coverings. Breakfast can get busy, and you may have to wait for a seat at peak times. We used the excellent Singapore underground (MRT) from the airport to hotel - 3 changes, it took about an hour, but the system is easy to navigate (everything is in English) and the fare was only just over 2$. (£1.40)! Nearest MRT station is about 600m away - we walked it, towing suitcases easily. (Take the bridge from behind the station to get over the road and it's a flat walk eastward). There's a shopping complex,Vivo City, about 15 minutes walk further on: we walked there to find places to eat. Hotel is handy for the cable car to Sentosa - we walked to the Mt. Faber start. A good value hotel and use the MRT to get around.
