Kam Leng Hotel

The Kam Leng Hotel is currently undergoing renovations, which is something to be aware of. Unfortunately, during our stay, the elevator was out of service, and our room was on the fourth floor. The view while walking up the stairs wasn't particularly appealing, with stacks of tiles and various odds and ends visible, along with some questionable taste in dividing curtains along the way. However, don't let the initial impressions fool you. Once inside the rooms, they are actually quite nice and well-equipped with everything you might need, including a hairdryer, shampoo, shower gel, and a lovely spacious shower with three different spray settings. The rooms were also clean. We appreciated the welcome water, and the air conditioning was modern, quiet, and worked very well. What truly stood out was the kindness of the staff and the manager. They were always very accommodating to our needs. Despite the ongoing renovations and the elevator issue, the quality of the rooms and the excellent service make for a positive stay overall.

I stayed at Kam Leng Hotel and have mixed feelings about it. The interior design is charming and has a nice vintage touch, and the air-conditioning worked great. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout my stay, which I appreciated. However, there were a few downsides. I saw cockroaches in the room, which was concerning. The walls are also not soundproof — I could clearly hear neighbours showering and even having sex, which made the stay uncomfortable at times. The shower itself had a unique set-up with multiple sprays, and the hotel provides a bar soap, shampoo and body soap, which was a nice touch. One thing that stood out to me in a more serious way was how some rooms were converted into dorm-style accommodations for migrant workers. While I respect and appreciate that the hotel is offering them a place to stay, it felt unfair that they were given significantly fewer basic amenities — no kettle, coffee powder, or even bottled glass water — and their beds were replaced with bunk beds. It gave me mixed feelings, as it felt like unequal treatment. Overall, the hotel has potential with its design, staff, and location, but I hope they work on improving soundproofing, and more equal treatment for all guests, regardless of their background. There is alot of food around Kam Leng, but has limited Halal stores that are in the area.

What I like most is the location, walking distance to 3 different MRT stations. Many local eateries, Chinese or Western restaurants , many good cafes too. The hotel room is small but cosy, overall it is clean and comfortable. Surprisingly, the pillows and mattress are good and we have enough restful sleep for 3 nights. As for the services, the receptionists are polite and helpful. We enjoyed our stay in Kam Leng Hotel.

The rooms are very tacky. So small that you can't even open a suitcase. Size not suitable for a family of 3. There is no wardrobe or any sort of storage space.There is no window in the room. There is a window in the bathroom. I don't think it will be classed as "room with window". The AC is not working. It was hot the entire night even when the AC was set at 16 degrees. The room inside was clean.

We got a smaller room where the toilet is half the size in the picture. Check-in time was at 3 pm, we were able to check in at 2:40 pm which is still ok. They take a refundable SGD 50 deposit by cash which was new to me. The aisle and lift looks slightly old. Room looks clean, with the exception of some yellowish towels and slightly old stained sheet. The blanket was nice and warm though. The toilet was clean but sink was leaking slightly. Overall it was a decent stay for a short one night trip and it’s good to lay your head down.

Rooms are clean & comfortable. The place is on the verge of the completion of renovation. Looks from the outside could be deceiving. But nonetheless modern interior inside each rooms. Place located could be a bit far for tourist attractions, but it is asseciable via bus to anywhere and MRT.

I dont know about other rooms but the one we got was really tiny. Didn’t have much space for two people. And they charged a full day fee just because we were 2 hours early, i mean I understand early check in can cost something but a day price is quite extraordinary. We didnt’t stay until 12 to check out we went early in the morning around 5 am for our next flight, so i think they should be little humane. Other than that it was a okay stay. We were there 2 nights.

Excellent stay with my bestie. The room is good for 2 people, with working desk and able to work with my laptop. Internet speed is excellent. We are on the cornered room, quiet at night. Bus stop is near the hotel. MRT takes 10mins walk. Riding a bus in Singapore is more convenient and cheap so we prefer this than riding expensive MRT. With daily cleaning and there’s bidet to toilet. 10/10

Update as of a walk by in March, 2023. Appears no longer to be a tourist hotel, but converted to Single Room Occupancy. It would be great if this assessment was in error or it resurrects as a decent tourist hotel.

this is mainly a review of their lobby and toilet. i always have a weakness for nice boutique hotels. lobby is full of interesting quirky and retro pieces. detailing throughout shows much thought and attention. long bench seating with colourful cushions and a central table also for f&b use. a lovely long lighted mirror in the open air communal wash basin area that faces greenery. love the male toilet sign! actual toilet within is small but clean. and do also check out their f&b in the form of suprette which is conveniently located at the lobby.

value for buck. A great play on space to showcase the old school nostalgia. Caution, can hear 'happy times' above us. need more sound proofing lol

This hotel was one of the worst and most frightening experience I have had in some time. I booked it on Orbitz and the rating with them was 4+ stars, the place was a dump and I would not let my dog stay there, it was small, dirty and when I told the desk I felt it was not what was presented on Orbitz, he said "there is no management available" and that was it, I told him I understood that I cannot cancel upon arrival but that I would like to get refunded for the rest of the week stay, even two days would be an acceptable forfeiture for the hotels inconvenience. but again "there is no management available" he did give me an email to the manager but I have written several times and called with no reply and there is never anyone in authority in the hotel. Don't be fooled by the ratings posted, never reserve there!

Good value for money. Very affordable. Staff was nice. Clean room, convenient location. The room was quite small and did not have a window, that seems to be the standard though. Haven't tried the restaurant but seemed good.
