Perak Hotel

This hotel has character. Part of the character is that it is showing its age and is not by any means flash. The breakfast, for example, is very basic but filling. The rooms are small but the doubles are comfortably big enough for one person. The floors need better sound insulation. But its location is wonderful and it is a good basic choice with all the bare essentials.

Located in Little India, this is an ideal place to stay in Singapore, with plenty of Indian restaurants and convenience stores nearby. We stayed here for 7 days and had no complaints. The hotel allowed us an early check-in on our day of arrival, which was very convenient. Breakfast was satisfying, with one Indian dish each day, bread with butter, jam, and peanut butter, fresh fruits, juices, milk with cornflakes and choco flakes, along with eggs and a daily special item. Every evening, we returned to a well-cleaned and neatly arranged room. When we faced an issue with the AC in our room, the staff promptly arranged a new room for us without any hassle. They also kindly allowed us to store our bags securely on both arrival and departure days. Overall, we had a smooth and pleasant stay, and I would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Singapore.

The accommodation was disappointing overall. While I’m willing to overlook the amenities and ambiance, which were below expectations, the behavior of the hotel staff was unacceptable. They were consistently rude and showed a lack of basic courtesy. I would strongly advise against staying here, especially for families with children. One particularly uncomfortable experience was at the breakfast counter, where a staff member stared at us while we ate, making the entire situation feel intrusive

We recently stayed at Perak Hotel, Singapore, as a family (my wife, 10-year-old child, and I) for five nights in June 2025. We booked a family room for the first two nights and a triple room for the next three nights. Honestly, I was a bit concerned before the stay after reading some recent negative reviews, but I am happy to share that our overall experience was excellent.||What We Liked:|* Contrary to the negative reviews, we found the staff to be very friendly, courteous, and helpful. They provided useful guidance throughout our stay.|* Breakfast was simple but fresh and satisfying—more than enough to start the day well.|* The family room was very spacious and comfortable. I would recommend avoiding the triple room if you have knee or mobility issues since the mattresses are placed on a raised platform accessed by a few steps. Triple room is also a bit small for luggage if you have a 2-3 bags.|* Rooms were cleaned daily and had a cupboard, safe, small refrigerator, and a water heating pot for hot water.|* The hotel’s location is a big plus—right opposite the MRT station and within walking distance of several eateries. As vegetarians, we had no trouble finding good food nearby.|* Mustafa Centre is a quick 8–10 minute walk, and Bugis Street is about 15 minutes away.|* Washrooms are compact, but that is quite standard in Singapore budget hotels.||Suggestions for Fellow Travellers:||* The hotel does not provide complimentary dental kits, soap bars (only liquid soap is provided), bottled water, or in-room tea/coffee sachets. However, there is a 7-Eleven store within a 2-minute walk where you can easily purchase these essentials.

Bed advertised as king sized was definitely NOT king sized, it was a queen. I even checked with the receptionist that we got the correct room and they acted like I was crazy for asking. Apart from that room is ok, one of the cheapest places to stay and the quality matches that. Hotel has two irons for everyone to share that you request at the reception. If someone else using then good luck.

RUDE BEHAVIOUR OF RECEPTIONIST NAMED HANIFFA From check-in to checkout, the receptionist’s attitude was consistently rude and unhelpful. The most shocking incident happened when my friend politely asked to charge his phone near the reception during breakfast time — she not only refused but also got angry at him for the request. Such behaviour is unacceptable in the hospitality industry, where guests should feel welcome and respected. This unpleasant attitude completely overshadowed our stay, and I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

Greeted by a happy gent when we booked in, but that was it for happiness until he was back on duty again a few days later. Staff are not big on smiles or warmth.||Bearing in mind that Singapore is highly over-priced, what you get is not much for the price. Room is very small, found it claustrophobic with 2 of us in there.|Sound reduction between floors isn't happening so morons who stayed in the room above kept us awake all night by walking around and banging furniture and luggage. |Tiny bathroom, took us a while to figure out how the hot water worked although smiley chap on reception did show us how the venetian blinds opened (!), didn't think to show the hot water.|I would've appreciated the sheets fitting the bed too. That was weird.|Breakfast, yes well, not much variety I'm afraid. It's pleasant but nothing special. |Location is brilliant. We love Little India although there's times when it feels a tad dodgy. Great restaurants nearby and train station up the road. |

I pre-booked and pre-paid for this budget hotel on Perak Road in the Little India area of Singapore via agoda.com a few months ago. The quality of my room for what i paid for was much better than what i originally expected. The bed was good and the air-conditioning worked well. My room was also somewhat bigger and more spacious than what i originally expected. For a solo budget traveller like myself on an ongoing 3-month trip in this region, i am actually completely satisfied. The staff members like Shan and Anifah were friendly, polite, helpful and respectful. Everyone got a quite simple but more than adequate complimentary breakfast as well. Recommended (for me anyway)

Perak Hotel is a clean and safe hotel in Little India. Good value for your money, especially in pricey Singapore. We stayed two nights in January. All the staff are friendly. Breakfast is included and they always cooked our eggs to order. The menu was different each morning! The rooms are average size with small bathrooms. Shower is small but the whole place was kept clean. AC worked well. I was not able to get wifi from my room but it was free access from the lobby. We slept well and did not hear much noise from busy Little India. We chose this location because of its easy access to the MRT Station. Getting around is super easy in Singapore! Very good budget hotel for those looking for included breakfast and internet access!
