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.

Voor kinderen zijn de stapelbedden geweldig!
Pros:

Inchecken ging prima, wisten niet dat je ook nog een borg van 100 euro moest betalen en aangezien we nog niet gewisseld hadden hebben het met RM gedaan (we kwamen vanuit Maleisie) dit was geen probleem. Met Euro had je trouwens ook een Borg kunnen doen.

Cons:

Family room heeft een stapelbed maar niet alle family room heeft dezelfde ruimte. We hebben uiteindelijk een upgrade tegen betaling moeten doen voor de Delux omdat de standaard gewoon te krap was. Ook de Delux was niet supergroot maar voor 3 nachten was het prima.

Pros:

Buona posizione a Little India. Buono il ristorante indiano sotto l'hotel è camerieri molto gentili

Cons:

Stanza piccolissima, non ci si muove, considerando che si hanno anche i bagagli. Bagno piccolo. Noi eravamo in 4 nella junior suite con letto a castello. Spazi troppo ridotti, non va bene per 4 persone. Al massimo per 2, ma rimane comunque troppo piccola
