“Good location”

City Bayview Singapore

I purposely chose a hotel that's not too smack on Orchard Road but still convenient to get to the MTR. Bayview would be about a 10 minute walk to the nearest Dhoby Gaut station....if it's raining (which it did when i was there), it's not much of a comfortable walk. But taxis are readily available around Singapore as well.

The room is a little above average. It was clean but a little bit too small. The bathroom was also clean and was okay. I didn't have much of a good view considering that i got a room thats higher than the standard one. I had a full view of walls! :)

Breakfast at the hotel was so-so, not many choices although they try to change the choices everyday. But if you really don't want hotel food, you can easily go to the 24-hour kopitiam around the corner. Next to the hotel is also a 7-11 so food won't be much of a problem at night or early morning.

If you wanna go electronics shopping, then SimLim centre is just a good 2-3 blocks away, okay for a leisurely stroll but not when coming back if you have loads of shopping already. I guess Singapore is really very small and it seemed everything is very near each other. I could walk about 15-20 minutes from my hotel to LIttle India or Arab district.

The hotel staff was nice and helpful. They gave us suggestions for interesting dinners around Singapore and were very thoughtful to ask us how it was the following day. They were also very courteous and was always ready with a smile when you enter the lobby.

Bayview is an overall good hotel to stay for Singapore. Taxi is easy to get from the hotel itself and walking around its area is pleasurable.

“Great Value and Location”

City Bayview Singapore

Went to Singapore for a 3-day conference, which was at the Raffles Convention Center. Bayview Hotel was only 3 blocks away, and I saved a bundle in lodging costs vs. staying at Raffles. Easy to get around, and had a great time in the city. Staff was pleasant. Breakfast buffet every morning was good - Not one complaint.

“Clean rooms & good location at a low price”

City Bayview Singapore

5 of 5 stars

Apr 25, 2008

I just had to go to Singapore for a business trip. As there was a trade fair most hotels have been either fully booked or selling rooms for exorbitant rates. Bayview offered Rooms for a reasonable rate.

Our rooms have been spotless clean.
Service was friendly and quick.
Excellent location.
Good buffet breakfast serving western and asian dishes (5 warm dishes), but not too much variety of bread.

You should not expect luxury, but if you need a clean room and a hot shower this place is appropriate.

“Suites only backpackers”

City Bayview Singapore

Apr 11, 2008

We stayed in your hotel from 17th to the 21st march 2008

This hotel suites on the backpackers.

Dont book this hotel, it is not value for money and has a very rude staff.


The bedsheets of my room were stained, the washbasin and the bathtub pop did not work.

the staff were sloppy, we had a housekeeper visit us in bathroom slippers.

The thing which was the most disturbing was that my colleague who was not feeling well, wanted to consume medicines at around 2:00 AM. He checked his Mini bar and found that the water was not replenished. He called up the front desk and was informed that the house keeping was closed and that only they could replenish the water. On appraising the staff that he was not feeling well, he was advised to visit a 7-11 store close by to buy water, Imagine a colleague of mine, not feeling well, going out to buy water. THIS TO ME, IS ATROCIOUS.

My colleague took the tap water and this resulted him having an upset tummy and him missing the Conference for the first half of the subsequent day.

There needs to be something which you need to take care of in this hotel, We have three more colleague who would be visiting this month and from our side this hotel was a absolute no no,

I did come to understand that the hotel is fit only for back packers.

The breakfast service is sloppy, the staff is dressed like they just got up in the morning.
We just had 1 breakfast in the morning, for the rest of the days we had breakfast out of the hotel.
