Hotel Mono

Pictures on the website have definitely been filtered, more run down then in the images. Location is good but we had level one street view room, trash pickup at 3am every morning along the whole street, very loud, perhaps a room without window or not street view would be ok. Staff were friendly and polite, had bag storage. Good for the price but don't get level 1 street view with window.

Hotel is very run down and in need of a refurbishment. Room felt unclean due to its shabby state. Bathroom in particular felt very dirty because of mould stains and the blinds were covered in dead bug stains. Walls are also paper thin - could hear my neighbours showering and even turning on and off light switches (thankfully otherwise they were quiet people), and could hear everyone walking past the room at all hours of the night. Location is great, but would not recommend until the hotel has spent some money refreshing the rooms.

The location is good, it’s within close walking distance to lots of things to do in Chinatown. It’s also close enough walk to the MRT. The room was very small. It was clean, and the staff were nice. Singapore is not cheap but I was hoping for this to be better than what it was. You can literally hear everything going on in the hallway and in other rooms, which was very frustrating when trying to sleep.

The room is clean, and the space is well-organized, allowing you to open your bags for storage. There is space under the bed for storing bags. The bathroom is well separated from wet and dry. There might be a slight musty smell due to the windows not being able to open, but overall it's good. Travel is quite convenient, not crowded. There are restaurants nearby that are open quite late and close to China Town Station.

The room looks exactly like the pictures. Daily room cleaning and daily towel changes are provided. It is located in the Chinatown area, close to several metro/subway lines, making travel very convenient.

Management totally unaccommodating with regard to my unexpected medical appointment back home after a heart attack two months prior. Would not adjust my payment without my doctor breaking legal rules and HIPPA restrictions in the US by emailing them my medical issues. Totally illegal. They kept my money, and most likely rebooked the room, thus making double money. Unethical. Will never stay here again.

Very bad remarks from many user, worst hotel I ever stayed,firstly the hotel bald head reception has a suck attitude, he is damn rude, ask us to write our own particular which all this while is written by hotel staffs, he damn me to give him my credit n write down my cars particular which I demand to leave cash as my deposit, I do not know why he want this for as all the hotel demand cash or sign a deposit, his action make me skeptical, next very very poor sound proof, damn noisy, upstairs loud walking sound, outside people shouting n talking n shouting due down stair stir next door all restaurants, and they open till 4am, can't even sleep. Ask for replenish of toilet paper n tissue being rejected by this bald reception. Room is small, poor sound proof, bad environment, I would strongly ask u guys to think thrice before stay here. I will definitely not coming to stay even if they offer me a free stay. Below are photo I screen shot all the bad reviews

Starting with the positives, the location is fantastic being in the heart of Chinatown. It is walking distance to tourist attractions, restaurants & bars, the MRT and Maxwell Hawker Centre. Being central to the action it is a very lively place especially after sunset so expect some bustle and noise. We were here 2 nights and attracted by the Mono's heritage but our stay was disappointing. It was converted in 2016 and is crying out for renovations to bring it up to 2025 standards. The reception staff were generally unhelpful and had a suspicious attitude to simple queries. Our room was old and tired, and it's condition bore little resemblance to the pristine website photos. The wi-fi couldn't stream anything and the fridge was barely cold...a carton of milk went sour overnight! The bathroom was in worse condition than the room. It was dingy with mould and stains in the ceiling and around the window. Not recommended, but if you do decide to stay maybe check the room first.

After staying a few days I am updating my review. The hotel is not fancy but very clean. The staff work hard to keep it clean. They do limit each room to 2 towels but the front desk staff are helpful. They will give you directions, order a taxi for you etc. the location is great.

I love the simplicity of the decor and everything in black and white. This boutique hotel is conveniently located in Singapore's Chinatown where all the good cheap eats are at - if you're a serious foodie, that's a huge deal to consider. As soon as you step out of the hotel, restaurants everywhere!!! Chinatown MRT Station is about a minute walk. The ladies at the front desk are sweet and helpful. I stayed here a second time and they remembered me from my last stay. The hotel only has 3 floors and 1 elevator. The room has everything you need. Plenty of power outlets to charge your electronic devices, flat screen TV with English channels, a fridge with 2 free bottles of water daily, soap, body wash, shampoo which smells nice, a toiletry set in a clear plastic pouch (with Q-tips, shaving supplies, mini shampoo and body wash, toothbrush, toothpaste, etc.) It's about $150 (USD) per night depending on the room type. The only thing I wish was different was the bathroom. It seemed outdated and got forgotten when they were doing the black and white theme. They don't have door tags, you can control all that through a push of a button from inside the room.

This is your basic / generic hotel - a step above the capsule hotel in Japan. I had a standard double at about US$110 a night and it was tight even by myself. You want to stay here when you want to catch two good hawker centers within a few minute walk and in center of major tourist places.

For our short Singapore trip, I wanted to find a hotel that was centrally located to all the attractions, and is affordable and stylish. The black and white decor of Hotel Mono caught my eye when I was browsing options online. Our Grab dropped us off at the hotel on a humid and warm afternoon. I was relieved to enter the air conditioned lobby of the hotel. We checked in and got a standard double room. I had mentally prepared for a small room but it was even smaller than I expected. The bed was against the wall on one side. Around the other 3 sides, there were only a few feet between the bed and the walls. We had a small window in the room but it looked out on a sad and dark interior courtyard. We had to keep the shade down the whole time; otherwise, our neighbors only a few feet across the courtyard would be able to see everything in our room. I know that hotels in Singapore tend to have smaller rooms in general and I'm sure Hotel Mono's design is on par with what's available in the market. All I can say is that I'm happy we only had to stay in this claustrophic room for one night. The other issue was that the walls were extremely thin and I could hear people walking on the floor. Despite these issues, I am confident that given my search criteria, this was the best option available. We absolutely loved the location and can't imagine staying in a more interesting part of town. The hotel was also nice enough to extend our checkout time.

This is a lovely black-and-white with modern simple style in Chinatown. This place is rather small, but stylish but the location is on point. It's just a street away from MRT Chinatown and just a couple of street away from the food street, so you won't be starving here for sure. It's so easy to get around with the MRT, although you don't exactly live downtown, or at MBS, it is easy to feel that way. The hotel itself doesn't provide breakfast, and the room layout (we had the double room) was kinda weird. The word cozy wouldn't come to mind, but it's definitely very modern and probably could be featured in one of those high-end architecture magazines. Despite the lack of coziness, I would stay in this place again in a heartbeat. Good price, and good transport and food option. What else do you need for in Singapore?
