I had a pleasant stay at Hotel 1929, which boasts an amazing location in Chinatown and friendly staff. However, the room was quite small and lacked amenities like a fridge and sufficient storage. The breakfast options were good, but the check-in experience left much to be desired. Overall, it’s a modern boutique place that reflects the character of the area, though it may not suit everyone’s needs. 😊

I stayed at Hotel 1929 during my one-night stopover in Singapore. The location was great, just a short walk to Chinatown and the Outram MRT station. However, my check-in experience was frustrating due to a mix-up over breakfast that took quite some time to resolve. The room was compact but clean, and the breakfast served on the rooftop patio was quite enjoyable.

Rooms

The room was small but practical, exactly as pictured on the hotel’s website. It had a built-in closet, a drawer under the bed, and a clean bathroom. However, there was no fridge or safe, and I found it odd that there were no tea or coffee supplies.

My stay at Hotel 1929 was a mixed bag. The location near Chinatown was fantastic, making it easy to explore, but the room I got was small and had some confusing features like a shower and toilet in the same space. The service was friendly enough, particularly at night, but the experience was marred by some cleanliness issues and a lack of basic amenities.

Rooms
