Tai Hoe Hotel in Singapore

Tai Hoe Hotel is for those travelers who need an affordable stay during their Singapore trip. Location wise is very good as they are near bus stops and an MRT Station. It is also near the Mustafa Center and a City Mall for your souvenir shopping.

What I think needs improvement is the cleanliness of their rooms. My assigned room is infested with cockroaches. They are everywhere and even crawling on the bed which is very concerning and makes you feel uncomfortable while sleeping on it.

For this price in Singapore, you can't expect too much, but the cleanliness was truly awful. There were so many cockroaches in the room. If you're looking to rough it for a night or two, you're probably better off choosing a hostel.

I stayed at Tai Hoe Hotel. The location is perfect — it’s just opposite City Square Mall and right at the exit of Farrer Park MRT. Super convenient and reasonably priced.

However, the hotel is right by the roadside, and you can clearly hear the busy traffic outside. Not friendly for light sleepers at all — you definitely need earplugs. The room doesn’t come with slippers or toothbrush, and the hotel is very, very old. The corridor has a strong bleach smell, while inside the room there’s a very strong vinegar smell.

For a one-night stay, it’s still acceptable due to the location. But I wouldn’t really recommend staying more than one night. Oh, and in the morning you can hear doors opening and closing throughout the whole floor — so clear until you might think your own door was opened.
