Detailed Reviews
Good location near Vivo City Mall. About 15 minute walk (1 km). Staff very friendly and helpful. Room was OK for one night stay, but the bathroom was tiny. The shower was just a handheld spray on the wall next to the toilet with no curtain or door.

Very good location, almost at bus stops on both sides, 5-7 minute walk to the MRT or 2 bus stops. A very good small eating place is there adjoining the hotel - open from 7-11. Room was quire small, as expected from a budget hotel, but had all the essentials. It was very clean & hot water & a/c was working perfectly. Bed was very comfortable. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Well, overall it’s nice for budget hotel no complain at all for services, amenities and location. But the rate it’s somehow is kind a expensive for “budget” title.
The room is quiet compact, maybe around 12-13 m2. But everything is nicely fit in place. It’s only fit for 2 adults max. If you go with 2 adults + 1 kids below 8 yo maybe still enough but very tight.
Location is quiet good, less than 80m to bus station directly to Harbour Front / Vivo City. From there you can go for MRT station or LRT via Vivo City to Sentosa Island.
Around 500m from hotel, there is Seam Im Food Centre for meal, with various local food. Walk little bit further you can reach Harbour Front Centre and Vivo City Mall for meal, Singapore cruises, Singapore cable car station to Mount Faber or Sentosa Island.
So, again if you need “budget” hotel near Sentosa this can be alternative.

Dear Bastian, We are happy to hear of your positive compliments with our services, location and amenities. Our hotel is indeed very well located and very attractive to many tourists looking to vacation in Singapore with our close proximity to public transport, shopping malls and popular tourist attractions. Room rates have risen significantly across Singapore in recent months due to an increase in manpower cost, electricity and laundry costs. Please be assured that our rooms remain very competitively priced in our market segment. We hope you had a great time touring Singapore and look forward to welcoming you back soon. Warm Regards, Roland Guest Experience Executive

Hi ibis budget Singapore Hotel (Mount Faber),
I am writing to share the good experience and service that I had during my one week stay at your hotel.
Housekeeping service was very lenient when it comes to cleaning and maintaining the room that everytime I get back they made sure that all is in its proper place and order.
I would also like to commend Zaridah- your front desk attendant who did not hesitate to help me out during the unfortunate event that happened when I left a laptop on the Grab car that I was in. I was having a hard time to contact them for I do not have a Singapore local number as I was there shortly for a business trip (and it wasn't me who booked the ride that made it harder to reach them).
She extended the service of hospitality by trying to help me reach out to them and talk to them in their native language that made it easier to track and eventually got the lost item back.
It made me feel at ease and comfortable that you have a staff like her that cares and helps their guests in need.
Thank you for the wonderful service that you have extended!

Pro: Location is good. Stayed a night there to explore the Keppel Bay area and also southern ridge trail. Near Vivo city.
Cons: Room is small. The hotel currently hosting those who are serving SHN and they didn’t dedicated a specific floor or area for this purpose, so, the guest in the room 2 doors away, and 3 doors way from my room, both were serving SHN. And maybe because of this, my room has cigarette smell since they were locked in the room with window which cannot be opened. And ya, there was roach in my room.
One stay is more than enough and will never stay again.
And if I was informed they are hosting SHN people, I would never taken the risk.

Responded 17 Nov 2020
Dear Sir/ Madam, Thank you for taking time to write a review of your hotel stay. Singapore is a small island city-state, whereby all buildings, including hotels across our city are affected by the land constraint. As such, this results in a generally more compact configuration of the hotel rooms. Nevertheless, our room offerings have been designed to provide a delightful environment for our guests without compromising comfort. The Hotel Team hears your concerns regarding the accommodation of your stay with the rest of the guests who are serving their 'Stay Home Notices'. We will look into arranging a dedicated floor to segregate our staycation guests from the rest of the guests. All rooms in this property are non-smoking and we will continue to inform this policy to all our arrival guests during the check in registration. We will also be stepping up our housekeeping efforts and performing pest control measures in relation to the concern you had mentioned. Regards, Jack Chee Senior Customer Relations Manager

The small rooms all made up for kind friendly and helpful staff. They are also helpful to my elderly parents. The cafe Fuel Plus behind the hotel and the trail up Mount Faber and the Henderson Wave, Hort Park and the links to all the trails made it a good stay. The bus stop outside have buses to Vivocity and Harbor Front Mrt and the gateway to Sentosa. All these is just within 3 minutes of journey time. Alternatively a 5-10 minute walk to Harborfront mrt. Convenient.
Don’t mind the roosters as it will lulls you to sleep eventually. I had a very sound sleep and rest. Also the hiking makes it a healthy trip too.

I had booked a short stay of 2 day at this Ibis Budget @ Singapore Mount Faber.
Upon checking in, I was given a room that was meant for those 2 hourly rates room @the second level. it has a tiny windows, and was not as depicated in the hotel website. Felt disappointed, i requested for a room change, but was told there isn't any availialbe.
However, half an hour later, one for the male services staff came up to my room. With a smiling and courtous face, told me that he managed to located a room with a bigger window, as depicated in their website. i can understand that most of their room are 12 meters. but a room with proper window to look out from, really help to liven the tiny room.
Thank you to the male staff on that for making the extra effort to allocate to my needs.

You might want to check every inch inside your room. I stayed only for 1 night in this hotel and I regret it so much. As later I found that they have a camera in the bathroom (on the ceiling, above the bathroom door) and another one on the ceiling around the entrance door. So I had to climb and covered it with some tape that luckily I could find somewhere in my luggage.

I wished to seek clarification that the so called "hidden cameras" you see in the room are in fact heat detectors installed in the ceilings above the bed and the bathroom area. The heat detector is a fire alarm device designed to respond when high temperature is detected in the room. The installation of this device is mandatory and in accordance to the fire safety regulations set by the building authorities. I thank you for your feedback and I trust that you now have a better insight of our fire safety features installed in the room.

I choose to stay this hotel for my 1st trip in Singapore cause it's cheap and not far from VivoCity. Due to I book the cheapest price that I get room at ground fl. That night so horror from AV sound of next room is so loud. All most guest are Singapore people who horny - I mean this is hotel for sex. So I pay for 10 SGD per night to upgrade. That better. You can use bus to go to VivoCity then go to Universal Studios Singapore for 5 mins. it's so fast
