The Southbridge Hotel

We waited 15 minutes for someone to come to the front desk when checking in. People had been waiting longer than that when we arrived, it appears they don’t pay much attention to guests.There’s a bar on the first floor and it gets very noisy at night, which is okay for people who want to drink and have their hotel room a few steps away. I wouldn’t recommend this hotel if you want peace and quiet at night.

This hotel is incredibly well located, especially if you’re interested in the cultural and historical parts of the city rather than the upscale and tall parts. We were minutes from Chinatown and its eats, shopping, and sights. We were a quick metro ride from Little India – don’t get me started on how easy and efficient Singapore’s metro system is. Our street was a color and interesting mishmash of really old buildings, temples, and some newer buildings – so many different cultures evident in the buildings and the passersby. We arrived late at night and our hotel, shockingly, was a bar – you literally check in at the backside of the bar. This sort of shabby, kind of quirky (the bird in the entrance hallway) three-room bar/restaurant proved to be one of the happeningnest spots in the whole neighborhood night after night, offering open-wall seating next to the sidewalk, a sports bar vibe in one room, a whiskey bar somewhere else, and maybe even karaoke. This ended up being a nice contrast to the capitalistic sterile vibe that characterizes much of Singpaore. I got real worried that it was going to be super loud in our room. It wasn’t at all – I think one night I could hear a distant murmur but nothing troubling – we also didn’t hear a lot of street noise. To be fair, we were the only room on the fourth floor – you take the elevator to the third and walk a up an additional stairway. The room was very small and with no windows except the ones that ran along the top of one wall – a

Central to Chinatown in Singapore. A short three minute walk to Chinatown or Maxwell MRT which service different rail lines. Clean basic accommodation in a pub that has live music and a western cuisine restaurant. Pub runs 11am to 2am. but there was no disturbance from its operations in the residential areas. Admittedly we were not on the 2nd floor.

Nice hotel in Chinatown. Rooms are clean. Good place to stay close to many of the landmarks.

Great value for money compared to other options in singapore.. bed was comfortable and sheets lovely, clean and soft. Had very good sleep. Shower was hot had amazing pressure. Great location. Bar downstairs excellent. Good music.. would stay there again.

The hotel is definitely dated. Did the job for 1 night but is not somewhere I would recommend for a longer time

I paid more for this hotel than any other hotel on my four-country tour. This was absolutely the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed at: the room was tiny, even smaller than the Vietnamese prison cell that I toured. The only good part is it’s pretty close to downtown and the MRT Chinatown station.

Great Whiskey bar with live music

Great location to the food halls/restaurants/transportation/room cleanliness good /bedding was great and comfortable,I would recommend this hotel as a base

All is well

Very small rooms, noisy with bar underneath

Very close to Chinatown 5 min walk . Hotel beside a bar/restaurant . Average & under service . For 1-2 nights is ok. No return here .

Great for Chinatown shopping and dinning, handy to MRT.

Good location

Checking in 2hours early cost $20 per room

Unbelievably small rooms and backpackers-type of property. Not worth over AUD200 p.n.; closer to AUD40. Extremely disappointing. Rude and poor front desk. Had to pay hundreds more for second room, as the single room was barely large enough for a single traveller, let alone a couple. View of street, average location, no amenities except grotty pub. Hotel wouldn't even post me my USB charging cables that i left behind.

I really enjoyed my stay i was right in the heart of everything for what I paid it was adequate for me it just had the basic but you get what you pay for it very clean i was really happy i would stay there again thank you

It’s very convenient

Overall a good hotel although as they are also servicing the bar on the other side, you may need to be patient as I found they didn't pay that much attention to the lobby

ideally located in Chinatown. Very walkable. Property is not the freshest though. A good revamp would be apreciated. Rooms are pretty dark and not the nicest in the world for sure. But it's cheap and central in singapore... that's about the major positive point.
