Great location, old and moldy interior, not the best value hotel in this area.

Rendezvous Singapore hotel review

This hotel is a very dated hotel , from old interior furnishing to low capacity electrical systems to dark decorations, dim wall colors, peeling wall papers, mold spots on the walls, and more. I got a bad respiratory congestion after stayed here for 4 night. And some of my other colleagues even developed a rash on their skin. Which resulted in many of us checked in to other nearby hotels and didn’t stay here the entire time, even though the rooms were already prepaid for.

The entire room lighting is very dim, hard to get much work done IF you are here on business trip. The lighting control is very inconvenient . Old lighting control. They don’t have convenient power plugs that you can use by the bed side, like USB . Rather they have a mix of Asia and Europe power outlets, all requiring converters and not all in working condition.

For light switches, they have an old master switch board by the bed, but…you still have to get off your bed to turn the bathroom lights on and off . Which means , If you need to turn on all the light in the middle of night for bathroom, and you’re not able to just roll over and turn on that.

The hot water here is very hot . You do not need to turn the faucet to the middle point to get a water to be very hot. It is good in a way., however, if you travel with children, I will be very cautious when the children are using the sink to wash hands.

Breakfast was so-so, nothing special, just the basic continental breakfast, mixed with 1 small bowl of curry and a pot of baked tomatoes. And be aware of the coffee machine if you need a cappuccino or latte with the milk comes out a splatter big time so stand back.

Gym is ok, pool is small.

Location of this hotel is the main valuable point. This hotel is centrally located with food halls nearby, restaurants, parks, museum, malls, and riverside attractions all within walking distance.

However, I rather stay somewhere a bit farther than sacrificing my health, so…do not recommend.

Slept really well and rooms are clean although the decor a little dated. Should also have a mirror on the dressing table to make it convenient to get ready for ladies. If possible adding a switch for hair dryer in the bathroom will be helpful since no mirror at dressing table.

I stayed for 4 nights in Dec 2024. Stayed in the lowest room category.

Pros:
-big room.
-tissue box provided.
-plenty of amenities in the bathroom provided.
-daily housekeeping and the housekeeping are diligent.
-bathroom is big. the shower space is large.
-bathroom sink bench has a lot of space to put your stuff out.
-mini-fridge
-big chair in the room
-hot water jacuzzi and cold water swimming pool
-complimentary parking
-wifi is decent. mobile speed tested at 39.9 mbps (download) and 41.6 mbps (upload).
-hairdryer provided.
-location is good. close to bencoolen mrt station and dhoby ghaut mrt station. Also not too far from Bugis and Funan mall and walking distance to fort canning park.

Cons:
-the room is dimly lit, there's no bright well lit light in the bedroom. It's just two lamps and one desk lamp and another lamp near the chair. Same with the bathroom but it's a little better because there's a LED light above the shower space.
-Bed is okay but it's more a medium firmness around a 7/10 firmness level. I prefer it a bit firmer like a medium-firm 8-8.5/10.
-pillows are a little high, both types of pillows they provide. One is hard and one is slightly softer but it's still too high.
-the superior room which i don't think has been renovated is quite old and dated. the carpet needs replacement or just get rid of the carpet to be honest and the whole room needs a bit of a spruke up.
-they took the pool towels 10-15 minutes before the closing time of the pool which was 10pm. So if you want a quick dip before pool closing time, too bad no towels for you, you have to go into either the gym which have mini-towels which are not really suitable to dry your whole body or you go into the elevator dripping water.
-parking is very narrow.
-one of the members of staff at the reception when asked about whether we can keep the car parked at the parking lot until we come back later in the afternoon to pick up the car gave us the wrong information. She said we needed to leave by 12pm so if you have a late night flight or want to explore the city and then pick up your luggage later, too bad basically. She also had a bit of a rude tone to her voice and didn't nicely explain things which was not good to experience. However we just decided to go direct to the concierge and we were given our free ticket to leave. So one of the staff members here got it wrong and it left a sour taste in the mouth so to say.
-no electrical charging point for EV cars in the car park.
-they don't provide bottled water, just a glass jar.
-the customer service is a bit cold. If they can get their staff to be a bit more warm and friendly and empathetic and talking nicely and in an informative way that would go a long way at this hotel.

Overall rating: 8.0/10

We have stayed at this hotel twice. First on June 30 - July 5, 2023. Second from December 27, 2024 - January 3, 2025.

The hotel is very comfortable, the location is very close to the food court & the mini market. The Bencoolen and Bras Basah MRT stations are also close to the hotel. And its easy for us to go anywhere.

The room facilities are very complete and the condition is very clean.

It looks like this hotel will be our place to stay every time we visit Singapore.
