Kim Tian Hotel

There’s free WiFi, though the signal can be weak, and the entrance is on the main road, away from the undesirable elements typical of the red light district. Rooms are always clean. Deluxe rooms have tubs, while standard rooms only have showers. Be aware that standard rooms are used for one or two hour stays for sex, so sometimes housekeeping may not clean them as well as the deluxe rooms. Family rooms have two double beds for two adults and two kids. Don’t pay more than the price shown on the board behind the counter.

The room was comfortable and seemed perfect for what I wanted from a cheap hotel, so I’d suggest it if you’re looking for a good low rate. I added some pictures while I was there. I’m giving it four stars because the bathroom looked dirty and hadn’t been cleaned properly. I hope they improve that.

This was the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed at. There was no WiFi, and it wasn’t cheap. I found cigarette butts and graffiti on the desk, plus someone else’s hair and an opened condom wrapper under the bed. The evening receptionist was rude and made no effort to sort out my complaint.

A budget hotel among plenty of others in the red light area, though that didn’t bother me. The bed was comfortable and the AC worked. There’s no breakfast, but Geylang has some of the best food around. It was cheaper than staying at Changi and paying for a Grab each way.
