I booked a room for my partner who was on a week-long business trip. He really enjoyed staying there and would definitely go back.

The room was a bit small

I like the property location, it was central and near to mrt

The entrance was a bit dodgy, you’d need to enter under a sign that says “1888 Hotel” and take the lift up to the 3rd floor.

Central location, small room but relatively clean and recommended for a solo traveller with not much luggage. Space is quite tight so no large luggage’s would be able to fit. But for the price, a short stay would be acceptable but not for long term stays as you might not have enough space for your things. Eateries are in abundance nearby whether you favour local fare or international cuisine. Walking distance to the MRT station (about 2-3 mins walk) and you can take the MRT directly from Changi airport.

There was little to no hot water. It was very hard to take a shower. The sign says wait 15 minutes for the hot water. I left the hot water on for over 30 minutes and the hot water pressure was so extremely low the pressure would only go up when you turned on the Coldwater, technically was not able to take any showers because the water was freezing

Beautifully renovated, nice rooms comfortable bed

The location is obviously strategic. If you spend lost of your time around Chinatown you might want to stay here. I’ve read some bad reviews of this hotel. I think it’s small but not claustrophobic. It’s not that fancy or “nice” by european standard but rather decent. Comfy beds, shower room is bigger than a typical two star hotels in london, everything worked well. So nothing to really complain!

The A/C failed a few times but the staff promptly took care of it. The hotel is just the third floor of the building so it's a little hidden.

The room was very small but it's all you need. The staff are very welcoming and eager to help with anything. The location is great, very close to two different MTS lines, and there are interesting sites around the area.

Very small room.

We liked the location of the hotel.

The room is too small, but as we all know the space is very expensive in Singapore.

The room is clean, and we are happy with bathroom kits provided by the hotel. Yet, the room is very small vs the price if we compare to other countries. But, we all know the space is very expensive in Singapore.

The room was a bit small - but it did not bother us at all, as we only stayed two nights. The bathroom could use some renovation soon.

The location is superb - right in the middle of Chinatown, a couple of minutes from the Chinatown MRT station. There a plenty of places to eat within walking distance (Maxwell Centre, various restaurants in Chinatown), it is very close to Buddha Tooth Temple. Noise was not an issue, unlike I read in other reviews. The room had everything you need, including a kettle and tea and a very small desk. I would stay there again.

It’s a bit loud outside but that’s what you get for staying in Chinatown. Usually quiet from midnight

Perfect location in Chinatown, close to public transport and stop for sightseeing bus tour. Good air conditioning. Staff very friendly, allowed early check in.

Location

Well-located hotel with very friendly and helpful staff. We paid for a better room and it was worth it as the room didn’t cost much more and was very nice. The hotel is an imaginative reworking of an old building. It’s on the third floor with a reasonable restaurant below. There’s a very serious place to eat durian next door (and who knew there were so many kinds?), so you sometimes walk through a wall of fumes on the way in, but it thankfully doesn’t reach the hotel (and like elsewhere they are mercifully banned in the hotel itself).

The street noise was rather loud at times with minimal sound proofing. Starting at about 10am there were street shows and they finished up at about 9pm.

Was in a convenient location

Close to heart if Chinatown. Clean, comfortable, friendly, helpful staff.

Also on the downside because it's right in centre of Chinatown, noise' inevitable.

Great location right in centre of Chinatown!

Sound proofing and does not have a small fridge.

Room was nice and clean.

Noisy even with the windows closed could hear everything going on outside all night. Very pricey for what you get, good for 1 night stopover however if you're staying a few nights spend the extra

Great location, very easy access to nearby hawker centres and not far from Boat Quay and Gardens by the Bay. PowerPoints were international so didn't require converters.
