Amid all of Singapore's over priced hotels this is areal find. I've stayed there three times now and never been disappointed. It's clean, the rooms are large by Singapore standards, it's very conveniently located on the edge of Little India about 3 stops on the subway from Raffles Sq. When you book be sure to ask for a court yard room, very quiet, fountains, complimentary fruit and tea/coffee/hot chocolate.

I chose the Albert Court hotel for our stay in Singapore because of the good reviews I had read on TripAdvisor. I was very disappointed with the whole experince. We arrived at the hotel at 3am and were checked into a garden room. This was on the ground floor and to be honest at that early hour we were just glad to get to bed. On arrival into the hotel there was a really damp fusty smell and this was echoed in our room. The next morning we had breakfast in the very small dining room. The service was mediocre and the food was very basic - all self service. We went out on the city tour which took us only to the tourist places as you would expect but for us it was not worth it as we didn't really enjoy it. We thought we would get an overview of the city but instead we were taken to the main tourist sites including a gem factory where you were expected to part with your money!!. The tour never even included or mentioned Orchard road the famous shopping street. Whe we got back from the tour we had time to see what the room was actually like. Since we were staying at the hotel for 3 more nights it was apparent to me that I couldn't stay in the garden room as it was damp, dark and small. The clothes we had left out smelled damp when we got back to the room. It was just not what we had expected. We had travelled via Dubai, New Zealand , Australia and this stop was to be the culmination of our 8 week trip and should have ended on a high. I approached the receptionist and asked if there was an alternative to the room we had been allocated. I was shown two rooms which were available and we agreed to move to the second floor. This room was much airier and lighter and the damp smell and astmosphere had disappeared. All was reasonably OK until the next morning when I noticed my pillow. I looked more closely at the actual pillow cover as it looked grey. When I removed the pillowcase the pillow and internal cover were filthy. I then proceeded to check all the pillows and they were all in the same condition. They looked as though they hadn't been changed for months. These pillow covers are disposable I use them at home! For something as intimate as pillows you would think the covers would be clean and disposed of after each guest. I asked at reception to speak to someone about the standard of cleanliness and he immediately requested the housekeeper to come and see what the problem was. Half an hour later no one had arrived so my husband went to reception again. Apparently the receptionist was cross that no one had been to see us about the problem. He requested the attention again and after a few minutes she came to our room. She asked what the problem was and I pointed to the bed with the array of pillows and covers. She looked at them and appeared to be horrified at the condition of them. She immediately picked them up and said ;OK, I wash them for you'. My response was 'no, I want them all replacing with clean new pillows, covers and pillow cases' She picked them all up and off she went. When we returned there had been a complete change of pillows and their respective linen.
The issues of the damp smell and atmosphere, dirty pillows and linen and the general ambience of the hotel was extremely disappointing but the final straw came the next morning at breakfast. The hotel is situated across from Little India (an appallingly dirty place - we have been to India and that country is far cleaner than Little India in Singapore) You would not wish to eat there if you had any respect for your digestive system. As a result there are many Indian Tour operators using the hotel for their clientele. These tours were in large numbers and at 8.30am the dining room was full and there was a very long queue of approximately 20 people. We had to wait to be seated and that was only possible when a table was vacated. This happened on two more occassions at breakfast. We didn't eat at the hotel any other time.
Our stay in Singapore was not good and we certainly will not be visiting the Albert Court hotel again and would not recommend it to anyone.

We stayed for 1 week at the Albert Court in Singapore with our baby for a relaxing shopping/eating holiday. We were not disappointed, the hotel is a tasteful refurbishment of an old shophouse building with casual access from a rear cul-de-sac which was a nice enclave before springing into the throngs of little India in one direction and china town and the bugis st. night markets in the other. There was a foodhall directly accross the road from the hotel with great local food (chicken rice for $2!). Our room was enormous and very tastefully decorated in the Peranakan style cabinetwork (no aztec quilted bedspreads here). The staff were just lovely (but Singaporeans are lovely people anyway). The MRT was diagonally opposite us (although the Tekka centre at that corner had a smell we would most certainly never forget). We'll be coming back next time for sure! Remember to check out the contemporary architecture of the La Salle College of performing arts accross the road (black box building).

First stopover on my trip to the Antipodes. Two nights booked. Arrived mid evening, tired, and was disappointed to find the room not ready. The staff were very helpful though and ensured it would be ready in 15 minutes and made us coffee. Once in the room we were very pleased. We were on the ground floor overlooking the courtyard. The rooms are large, bathrooms a decent size with a shower and bath. TV with English channels, all what you'd expect really. Breakfast was delicious. Loads of choice, hot and fresh.
The tourist information we were given was helpful and the lady booking trips offered plenty of advice.
The hotel is within easy walking distance of the underground (5 mins) and there are plenty of shops and a few good restaurants nearby.
Hotel checking out service excellent and a taxi organised for the airport. Overall very pleased and booked my daughter in for 3 nights when she returned from Australia.
