Pros:

Super friendly staff.

Cons:

It all felt a little tight.

Pod 39 in NYC was smaller but felt less cramped.

Too much "india" for the sake of India.

The furniture didn't fit the room.

Disappointing Experience: Style Over Substance and Operational Shortfalls
Cons:

We recently stayed at Serangoon House Singapore and, unfortunately, the experience did not meet the expectations set for a property of this nature. If you are looking for a standard of service comparable to a Marriott or similar international chain, I would strongly advise looking elsewhere.
The rooms are exceptionally small—so tight that the physical layout is impractical. In the higher-category 'Maharani' room we were moved to, the space was so restricted that if the ladder for the bunk bed is in place, you cannot open the cupboard doors. Furthermore, we encountered significant plumbing issues in our initial room, which necessitated a room change. Guests should be prepared for extremely limited floor space and potential maintenance inconsistencies.
The dining experience was a major letdown. Despite booking inclusive of breakfast and dinner, we were met with a rigid "set menu" format that was not clearly disclosed during the booking process. The breakfast quality was poor, relying heavily on pre-packaged/ready-made items rather than fresh, high-quality preparation. While the dinner quality improved slightly after raising concerns with management, the overall dining restriction—even during buffet services, which are still essentially "set"—is not what one expects from a premium booking.
The hotel appears to rely on a student-staff model, and it is evident that they lack adequate professional training and experience. While they are clearly trying, they are not equipped to handle guests with the level of service one would expect at this price point.
The one redeeming factor was the Hotel Manager, Karen. She was spectacular, professional, and genuinely empathetic to our situation. She did her best to mitigate the issues, and her handling of our concerns was the only reason our stay was salvageable.
Conclusion:
In summary, the property prioritizes aesthetics over guest comfort and operational efficiency.
