As probably many others who are starting or ending their trip in Singapore thanks to the good flight connections, we were looking for a decent and affordable place to stay. We didn't need any extras like a pool or restaurant, but wanted a comfy room, own bathroom and good location to eat, shop, explore. All of this we found at Champion Hotel! The family room (at 4th floor) was quite spacious and in a good condition, Wifi, Aircon and everything else worked just fine and the staff was friendly and welcoming! The area has a "small-town" touch and you can find small fruit/grocery shops and cafes and restaurants nearby. As our flight was late in the evening, we could keep our luggage at the hotel and pick it up on our way to the airport (including an opportunity to freshen up a bit in their restrooms). MRT (Paya Lebar) is walking distance, taxi from/to the airport does not cost a fortune - highly recommend this place, we would certainly book it again!

I do not understand why this place has such good reviews. There is mould everywhere. From the moment you step in you smell the damp, which they attempted to cover up by cheap toilet spray. The hotel is not conveniently located to the MTR, it is at least 10 mins walk. It is more convenient to take the bus. Do not stay here

Outside of the location, they is nothing that can redeem the room. It had mold in the bathroom n the wallpaper was peeling. Thank God the lighting was dark. ... hid the shortfalls. Also was going to charge us for extra towels. We know accommodations her is sg is expensive, but mold.... the staff were nice but only so much they can do.

Having stayed once in Singapore before and knowing how much you pay for a small windowless room, I knew I had to look for a place outside of the city center and tourist attractions for a decent place that wouldn’t break the bank. Champion Hotel fit the bill and I was actually surprised about both the room and bathroom size. The decor was updated, but a bit worn out. The bed was comfortable, but the pillows were pretty hard . Room offers a mini fridge, safe and full size mirror. There’s lot of shopping malls and eateries around the hotel, it’s a pretty interesting area. The nearest MRT station is Paya Lebar (with its own mall and restaurants) and that’s about a 10-15 minute walk from the hotel. I’d stay here again on a next trip.

Stayed at this hotel for 2 nights after having stayed at other hotels in Singapore this one was by far the cheapest and the biggest. We had a corner room so we had a window in the room and French doors in the bathroom. It looks like they did upgrades maybe 8-10 years ago but it is starting to show it age again, grout coming out from the tiles, vanity cupboard chipped and worn, the stupid thing whatyamacallit around the bed all chipped, and the rugs in the hallways looks like it has been travelled on by many people as it is pretty nasty. Other than that the bed was comfortable, and clean and the airconditioning blew cold air so that is a bonus. The location is really good lots of food around so you won’t go hungry and malls for shopping. There is a little mini mart down below on the corner where you can pick up some cold beer, as beer is not served in this part of the city much. Enjoyed the stay ! The MRT station is a few blocks away so it easy to hop on and it will take you where you need to go.

Considering how pricey accommodation can be in Singapore, this hotel does provide good value considering its relative affordability and location. Stayed in a windowless, single room which was small but comfortable enough for one pax. The room and toilet was clean and gives you everything that you need as a solo and/or business traveler. Location-wise, pretty good too, within walking distance to many eateries and amenities, as well as a bus stop and Paya Lebar MRT. Good reception service and overall a decent stay.

I actually enjoy my stay there over the weekend. The location is very good, walking distance to Payar Lebar MRT station, located right on the Joo Chiat St., directly opposite Fairprice Supermarket. The room was clean, except the toilet bowl wasn't clean thoroughly, there were pee stains on the sitting plate. The bed is firmed. The hairdryer in the room is not working, but I am able to borrow one from the reception. With the price I paid and with its location, it is really good place to stay to explore Joo Chiat/Katong.

Suite room for $109 SGD, no breakfast. Prepaid on Agoda. Some minor hassles at checkin with a request for a $50 cash deposit (nothing mentioned about this on the Agoda email, nor any option of taking a credit card pre-authorisation), but relented after some discussion. Located towards Geylang Serai end of Joo Chiat. Suite room was large and seemed recently renovated and was clean with a comfortable king size bed. But the room was on the corner on Joo Chiat with very poor sound insulation: bad traffic noise throughout the day and night. Minor points were poor quality towels, no hand towels provided and no hand soap. 2 small bottles of mineral water provided and a small fridge. Free WiFi worked fine for Netflix.
