ibis budget Singapore Mount Faber

Excellent service and convenient location. The hotel was clean and tidy.

Ugh, I forgot to take photos, so I'll use some random ones instead. First off, I chose this place because it's super close to Universal Studios, and I figured a chain hotel wouldn't be too bad. But the price wasn't exactly cheap – I paid over 480 for a queen room. I know hotels in Singapore are pricey, so this was within my expected budget; I'd already come to terms with the cost. The front desk staff were all really nice. However, my heart sank when I opened the door. The room was tiny, and they don't provide slippers, toothbrushes, or cups, citing environmental reasons... though if you ask the front desk for a toothbrush, they'll give you one. For cleanliness, I'd give it a 3.5 out of 5 – not terrible, but not outstanding either. It's a small room but has all the essentials, though you definitely can't fit two suitcases in there; it felt really cramped. On the bright side, the soundproofing seemed pretty good. I'm not sure if there were no other guests or if everyone was just incredibly considerate, but I didn't hear any noise. Plus, I was so exhausted from sleeping at the airport the night before that I slept like a log. It was the best night's sleep of my entire trip, and I was genuinely shocked that I slept best in the smallest room... Oh, and the shower gel and shampoo are all-in-one, so if you're particular, you might want to bring your own.

The price is fair and acceptable, but for those heading to Sentosa, this hotel isn't within walking distance; you'll need to take three bus stops. The hotel facilities are small, which is typical for Singaporean hotels. The bathroom is a bit inconvenient because water gets everywhere when you shower. Frankly, if the price were under 400, this hotel would offer great value for money. However, if it's over 500, it feels just average. The hotel doesn't provide enough bottled water, which is a real inconvenience for guests.
