To be honest, the Fragrance Pearl in Singapore was not at all what was advertised.
Budget is one thing .... but this was worse than the seediest backpacker hostel I've had the misfortune to stay in.
The room had a double bed in it, which took up the whole room. There was not even room to put our suitcases down. we had to keep them on the bed and shove them down the sides when we went to bed each night.
The hotel advertises tv, dvd, internet and many other things that were not in fact in our room. There were sheets on the bed and a dirty smelly blanket sitting on the end of the bed. Considering the type of hotel guests were too scared to use the linen at all.
We knew the hotel was in the red light district but had been told by your website and Lonely Planet that it was a perfectly nice hotel ... however 90% of the hotel guests were prostitutes with their clients, the 5 or so men sitting in the lobby 24 hours a day must have been pimps, and the kerbside on both sides of the street in front of the hotel were lined with prostitutes.
We had hot water and air con and the bathroom was clean thankfully. The internet facilities consisted of 1 computer in a tiny room off the lobby where you had pimps watching you through the door.
I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

| "The hotel is in a zone frequented by prostitutes, but it's not a dangerous zone. The taxi driver just suggested me to avoid contacts with that kind of people because they act in collaboration with robbers, and in that case you may have some troubles. But if you just mind your own business, you will have no problems. The zone is not so clean. They say there are many restaurants, but are not clean places, they look like taverns or even worst. You have to go to elewhere to eat. The location is not convenient. There is no subway station near there and it is also difficult to take a bus. The only solution is the taxi, but there are few. The hotel is very cheap and there is the essential inside. It is not dirty. The bathroom is very simple. But you can take a shower and regulate your air conditioner. If you have enough money maybe it better to go elsewhere. " |

| "If all you want is a cheap room, and nothing else then this hotel might suit you. It's normally hired by the hour..and the staff go out of there way to be unhelpful. Surprising really when it would take no more effort to actually look after your guests.
Ask your cab driver for a better recommendation, we checked out and moved to Joo Chiat Hotel which was in a much better location, much nicer staff and much better facilities. Cost about $10 more per night. " |

| "Located smack in the middle of the red light district. 10 minute walk from subway station. Cheap room for Singapore, and good value. Next time I'll spend twice as much and get thrice as much in return, but I have nothing bad to say for this place. Staff is friendly and professional, and - obviously - they mind their own business.

| "Eventhough this hotel is in the red area of Singapore, and the hotel is most likely for those customers, it's still a goof compromise for budget travellers. The best thing about this hotel is that's it right between the airport and the city center. Public transports are very close and you can access the main points of Singapore from this hotel." |
