The Barracks Hotel Sentosa by Far East Hospitality

Gorgeous hotel! Paradise away from the busy island attractions.

The food, service, and environment are exceptional, the room also has excellent noise proofing.

We arrived after a long flight from the UK and were instantly welcomed by the sweetest security guard. We were taken up to reception where we were checked in and given cold towels and a lovely refreshing drink.

Our room 219 was lovely but my only criticism about the whole hotel was the lack of daylight in the room. There are no windows, just a frosted glass door which made me feel a little hemmed in but other than that, the room was comfortable and had all the amenities you would need including iron, coffee machine, kettle, hair dryer etc.

For breakfast, you have to place your order the day before. It’s two courses with a good, healthy choice although I found the two courses too filling so it definitely sets you up for the day!

What really makes the hotel stand out is the staff. They provide phenomenal service and really make you feel very welcome.

I would highly recommend this hotel for couples if you want a quiet place to stay in a busy area.

Magnifique hôtel. Le personnel très serviable. La piscine top.

Laid back but excellent service

Had an amazing stay at The Barracks Hotel Sentosa. An immaculate hotel room featuring direct pool access & Jacuzzi. I really enjoyed the peace and serenity there paired with an exceptionally crafted ice americano.

Don't miss out on the evening canapé! It was truly incredible. The breakfast was also memorable. What a perfect way to start the day.

The experience would not had been perfect without the team's exceptional service. A huge thanks to Emily, Gabby, Jeffrey, Fatin, Vivien, JJ & Nizam. Highly recommended!

From the moment you arrive, this boutique hotel feels like a world of its own – calm, refined, and quietly luxurious. The beautifully preserved heritage architecture, combined with contemporary design, creates an atmosphere that is both timeless and effortlessly elegant.

What truly sets this place apart is the service. The warmth, attentiveness, and genuine kindness of the staff are simply exceptional. There is a rare sense of care and sincerity in every interaction – a level of hospitality that feels almost perfect and defines what a true boutique hotel experience should be.

The tranquil pool area and the overall sense of privacy make it easy to disconnect and unwind, far away from the energy of the city.

A hidden gem – understated, elegant, and deeply memorable.

We had a relaxing three nights at The Barracks on Sentosa. Amazing service, wonderful breakfast and very tasty canapes with drinks every afternoon. What more can you ask for.

We spent a perfect 48 hours at The Barracks Hotel Sentosa to celebrate our wedding anniversary, and it was nothing short of magical. From our Friday arrival to our reluctant Sunday departure, the service was world-class.

The experience started on a high note with Mr. Gopal at security. Even though he isn’t a direct hotel employee, he was an absolute gentleman—kind, funny, and genuinely welcoming. He set the tone for our entire stay, and the hotel should truly recognize him for the incredible first impression he provides.

Emily was another standout; her infectious smile and genuine kindness made her a wonderful ambassador for the brand. Special thanks also to JJ, Gabbie, Zoey, and Jeffrey, who worked tirelessly to make our stay feel like a dream. To the many other staff members whose names we didn’t catch: thank you for going above and beyond to make our anniversary unforgettable.

We cannot recommend The Barracks Hotel enough. We arrived as guests and left as friends, feeling truly celebrated!

I should start by mentioning I've stayed at Capella and Sofitel in Sentosa recently so this is my 3rd hotel in Sentosa.

Amazing facility.
A very luxurious boutique hotel in the middle of Sentosa.
Only hotel guests are allowed on the premises, so with 40 suites, it's very quiet and exclusive, away from the noise of families with kids that can dominate other hotels in Sentosa due to the proximity of Resorts World.
We had a duplex suite which was a large suite with a separate sitting room downstairs and a suite upstairs accessed via stairs in the courtyard. There are only 4 of these in the property.
There are 2 identical 30-metre pools with spa jet nooks.
The bedding is extremely comfortable and the bathrooms are as luxurious as you'd expect. The air-conditioning works well.
The evening canapés and free-flowing alcohol are amazing and a welcome retreat from the heat and humidity.
Breakfast is not a buffet but the offerings on the menu are substantial with Asian and Western options.
Staff are extremely attentive and remember your drinks preferences and address you personally.
My only complaint (and this could be my fault for not finding it!) is that there isn't a power point in the bathroom for the hairdryer, which I get is a safety issue as hotels in the UK no longer have power points next to sinks. However, there's not an alternative place to blow-dry your hair in front of a mirror as power points elsewhere in the room don't have mirrors close by.

Would I choose Capella over this? Maybe, if I wanted my own bungalow and a buffet breakfast with a bar and restaurants on-site. However, The Barracks is much closer to Imbiah Station for the Sentosa Express so you can get to Resorts World or VivoCity without relying on the hotel shuttle, which you'd have to do at Capella.

Although the room was situated at level 2, it was quiet. Room temperature was just nice, and the bed and pillows were comfy.

The evening wine and canapé and breakfast at The Living Room were delicious and well presented. Staff were attentive and prompt in service.

Special thanks to Vivien who reached out in advanced, with the relevant information prior to our stay. Checking in and out was a breeze.

Thanks to Vivien and team for the warm hospitality and extra effort to decorate the room for our marriage anniversary stay. And not forgetting the lovely cake that was given to us during the evening canapé time. Thank you for the memorable stay!

Výborná snídaně, líbilo se mi že šlo sedět venku ve stínu u bazénu, mezi tropickou zelení. Bazény výborné a velké, trávili jsme tam hodně času. Naprostý pocit relaxu a pohody, člověk zapomene že je ve velkém městě a přitom město je velmi blízko.

The location was great, breakfast, cocktails and afternoon canapés.

Ganz tolles Hotel mit einer sehr durchdachten Ausstattung der Zimmer. Sehr hohe Qualität der Speisen und Getränke beim individuellen Frühstück und der genialen Snacktime mit allen auch alkoholischen Getränken. Lage auch sehr gut zu Fuß zu den Beaches oder Sea Aquarium. Und zum Schluss das Personal war das Beste und freundlichste was wir bisher in Hotels erlebt haben.

Beautiful peaceful spot on the island. Comfortable rooms and friendly and helpful staff in a building with character and style - would definitely stay there again!
