Bayview Hotel Singapore - Singapore, Singapore 

My partner and I stayed at the Bayview for 3 nights on our way to Melbourne in February. We had a limited budget and for the money this hotel was fine for us with the added bonus of free wi-fi access (something we have found hard to get at hotels in Australia). It was clean, comfortable, quiet and within easy walking distance to the MRT (Dhoby Ghaut is marginally closer than Bugis). The bathroom was a little shabby but clean and spacious. There was a large selection of breakfasts to suit European or Asian tastes and the hotel is not far from plenty of cafes bars and restaurants. The staff were pleasant and helpful. We didn't make use of the tiny swimming pool or laundry facilities on the top floor but it was nice to know they were there had we needed them. Overall a pleasant stay and we are considering booking there again on our way back through Singapore in July.

You could not pay me to stay at the Bayview again. What a filthy hotel! I tried multiple rooms and in all of them there was pubic hair in the sheets, hair all over the bed skirt, on the blankets which were obviously never washed, the bathroom floor was covered, etc...The female housekeepers did not wear shoes and with all that hair, it was just nasty. The pillows and mattresses had dark brown and yellow stains on them, which were not disguised by the thin, scratchy sheets. The shower curtain and towels were stained and the bathtub was a yellow color as if bleach had never touched it. Breakfast was terrible- think little wieners and undercooked eggs for "western favorites" and not much to speak of for the Asian breakfast. Basically the bed gave me a rash, my allergies went crazy, and it took me hours to fall asleep the bed was so hard and springy and I was so disgusted by the stains. I would look elsewhere!
