Lavender
This capsule hotel budget-wise is recommendable. The location is great and 5 minutes away from the metro station. I have taken the mixed capsule. I did not expect much because of the price but I stuttered with disappointment when I was there. I availed myself of a stay with free breakfast for 5 days and in these 5 days, never I had tried and seen any food. What I saw are leftovers kept uncleaned. I usually wake up at 5-6 am because I have a conference by 7 am. By that time, no food on the counter. The toilets were furthermore small and crowded. No social distancing or infection control practices. The spaces are cluttered, unkempt, and unmaintained. I have raised the issue to an Agoda representative who told me that I should have the breakfast inclusion. Still, the next day, no breakfast was there. I planned to talk to the reception but most of the time, staff are not present there.

Staff is to nice and polite. The room smells very fragrant. What I like is that there is a mini bar. The room is large and so comfy. Close to bus stop and can walk to the mall. I'm planing to boom again

Lavender
Arrive in Singapore late at night. I was at an age when it was difficult to stay at the airport, so I chose to lie down, but this was quite comfortable. A taxi from the airport costs $33 (including late night charges). The late-night reception was unmanned, but the self-check-in system worked well, and although it was a small space that looked like a closet, the women's 6-person room was so quiet that I thought no one was there, and the mattress and sheets were surprisingly good. It's high and I had a good night's sleep (although in the morning some people started unpacking their suitcases and there was nowhere to step) Showers and toilets are clean, but be aware that the floors can get wet. Also, perhaps because of the corona crisis, there is no breakfast service as mentioned in previous reviews.

Lavender
I was at room 301. With 1 Double bed and 1 Single bed. The room size is quite large than my thought, which is great! This room has no windows. There are shower kit of L’occitane, an dryer and slippers below the bed, free bottle of water, and free coffee and tea bag. The toilet has bidet. The shower has closable door to separate wet and dry area. The fridge is little bit small (can store up to 3 medium bottles of water). Each outlet has a switch that can be turned off. The side bed is a little bit dusty but I don’t really care. The location is great, not far from MRT DT23 and bus stop that can go to Chinatown and Marina bay. The staff is nice. The issue of this stay is the door has a security lock but cannot use because the lock at the door side is missing, anyway the door is digital door lock. Also, the water pipe sound is a little bit loud at night.

Perfect Location! Walking distance to the bus stop, mrt station and kitchener. Owner is very nice too! They replenish the water thrice and cleaned our room once in our 3 days stay. On our last stay the aircon became less cold but manageable. Overall our stay is good ❤️

A comfortable budget hotel in the Lavender area, a few minutes walk from Bendemeer MRT station. Many small restaurants, cafes and larger shopping centres nearby. TV was limited to local channels. Good value.

Singapore Weather: What U.S. Travelers Need Know

Welcome to Singapore, where it’s like summer 24/7! Expect warm temperatures year-round, usually between 77–90°F. It’s a tropical city, so the weather is pretty predictable: sunny mornings, occasional afternoon showers, and warm nights.

Rain here isn’t your light drizzle—it’s a full-on tropical downpour. Pack a small umbrella or rain poncho for sudden showers, but don’t worry—they rarely last long. Lightweight clothes like shorts and breathable shirts are a must, and comfy, water-friendly shoes are a lifesaver.

Travel Tip: Stay hydrated and take breaks indoors when it gets too steamy. Whether it’s sunny skies or a quick rainstorm, Singapore’s tropical vibe makes every day an adventure!
