Hello everyone, and welcome to another of my reviews. In this video, I’ll be reviewing my recent stay at ibis Styles Singapore Albert.

I actually haven’t done a hotel review in quite some time – the last was Furama Riverfront hotel late last year. After a busy period at work, I decided to take a breather and book an affordable staycation at ibis Styles Singapore Albert just to wind down and relax.

ibis Styles Singapore Albert was a decent staycation. On the plus side, the room and its facilities were all squeaky clean, with certain upscale touches (such as the hotel lobby, branded towels, openair pool, etc) elevating it from other quasi 4star hotels such as Hotel Nuve Urbane, Hotel Grand Central, The Daulat, Santa Grand, etc. However, the nonworking smart TV also irked me, as did the lack of a bidet. Service could have been better too, especially with regards to staff training. While interacting with one of the hotel staff about the TV, we were told that said staff “didn’t know anything” because she was from a different ibis property that doesn’t have a smart TV. Furthermore, the maintenance crew that came in to try and fix the TV (to no avail) were also wearing Fragrancehotel branded clothing, which not only is offbrand but also cheapened the hotel experience.

If you’re looking for a clean hotel to spend the night – with certain bells and whistles – then ibis Styles Singapore Albert is a decent choice at ~S$100. It’s miles better than say, the $69/night rate at the Fragrance Hotel/Hotel 81 next door. It’s also better than similarly priced 3/4star hotels. However, at its usual price of S$188, I would personally opt for other 4star hotels such as Furama Riverfront (which has larger rooms). And if having a pool isn’t that important to you, alternatives such as Hotel G and lyf Funan possess more character as well.
