With staycations open, I booked the Glam package that includes $50 at their restaurant Ginett to celebrate my friend's birthday. When we reached, we were warmly welcomed by the team and the manager brought us to the room explaining all the health and safety procedure, which make us feel very safe and comfortable.
When we entered the room, I was surprised that they set up a wine bottle to surprise my friend for her birthday!
We made reservation for dinner at night and Ginett had a great atmosphere! We ordered a few items to share including the lobster bisque which was amazing and lamb shank that was well-cook and flavourful. The potato purée is the best I ever had. We also had the duck confit which was slightly dry for my taste but still tasty. At the end of the night, the restaurant manager Alla prepared a birthday surprise for my friend, which made her very happy.
All the staff were very friendly and nice! Another staff Regina, took the effort to share with us all the promotions for the week. I will definitely go back to try the $1 oysters! That night, we slept like babies in the comfortable beds.
As a designer, I appreciated that the room is well-designed and functional. They also provided hand sanitizer and masks which is a nice touch. Overall, I loved our stay at Hotel G, it was very memorable and I will definitely go back again.

Booked a night stay at this hotel, arrived at 4pm but only get to check-in around 6-ish 7pm. Reason for the long wait because the hotel has just been given approval for staycation and they received overwhelming reservations. They were moving the long staying guests to another floor and the Housekeeping team needs time to turn over the rooms and disinfect all the rooms to ensure that all guests has a safe stay. Although the wait was far too long, but we do understand the need to go through all the processes. Well done Hotel G team!
Special mentions to Asa and Wallace, they never fail to put on their best smiles (although they were wearing masks but I can tell from their expressions) and kept me updated on the status of the room.
We love the simplicity yet chic design of the room.

A lot to digest? Read an AI-generated summary of recent traveller reviews.
I booked thru its hotel official website ,and get email with attractive offers. I was surprised to see that biggest room was offered to me at the price of $90 . This room was not included in the list of room available for booking for the day.
However, I decided to skip all the F&B offers , like Burger in Bed, and other tempting snacks like " chicken wings, ice cream tubes' because I need to watch my diet.
On the day of check in, check in was effortless and no complimentary check out was offered. Went to 8 storey and check in single room.
Again, Hotel G is good at applying common sense in maximising the space of work desk.
kettle, cup, and container of coffee/ tea was placed on the wall holder. Very good! it create bigger place for laptop, tablet, and files. Very much better than other small hotels , where all these items, kettle, cups, containers are placed on table, which create inconvenience.
after few hours, I went down to 25 Degrees burger restaurant for dinner where I had burger and milkshake. (which cost $30)
At night, bed is good and comfortable.
Morning, I went to 25 degrees restaurant for American breakfast (sausage, beacon, eggs) and coffee.
Check out was fast and effortless.
I will return to this hotel again because I like the concept , well arranged work desk..

I use to visit hotel G very often and liked it very much. However this time it has been very disappointing.
1) Room we have booked is Great King room. Naturally anyone would expect it to be a king size bed. However I discovered it was actually merged by 2 single beds and there is a gap in between which makes the sleep very uncomfortable. Mattress was also harder and less comfy compared the the queen room bed I used to book
2) The room was quite clean as usual however what I noticed was the remote control. It was very dusty and greasy with dirt stuck in the spaces between the keys. I would have expected that after reopening in phase 2, the hotel would have managed the cleaning and sanitization well. Moreover, the remote control is something which people have their hands on and the more it should be cleaned and sanitized. I had to use my own alcohol swab to clean it before using it :(
3) Booking I made come with breakfast. However instead of a buffet spread it only had 5 items on the list to choose from. This part is understandable due to the covid 19 since buffet is not allowed yet. However the part which was surprising was when I asked about the coffee and tea options, the lady serving told us it’s not included in the breakfast and have to be charged separately. She even used the fact that coffee and tea are available in your rooms thus they do not provide. Does the hotel expect guests to bring down their mugs and tea bags down for breakfast? This is unacceptable.

The stay was short but enjoyable. Check-in was smooth & fast. The gentleman who attended to me was friendly & attentive. Room was pleasant & the design was slick as well as modern.
The only issue is the cleanliness of the aircon vents. Quite dusty. Toilet was clean.
Simply love the location and few minutes walk to Bugis Plus.
Upon returning to the hotel, the friendly hotel staff attending to our temperature & safe entry checks.
Please note that the laundry and slipper bags are charged at a nominal fee. Would suggest to provide another alternative option if guests were to do their own laundry back home (i.e. paper bags for laundry if environment friendly option is a concern to do plastic bags).
Check out was fast as I did Express Check out. The hotel should consider offering hotel guests complimentary carpark as I have to pay $15 for it.
Overall was a great stay with a reasonable room rate.

Have been travelling for 20 hours with 3 kids prior to arriving to the hotel. Maybe i’m too selfish, but just wanted to crush on the bed and have a beer. Well, that will not work. Because MasterCard (embossed) debit cards - which are by the way called ‘world elite’ for whatever reason - will not be accepted by the hotel for deposit, meaning that the minibar will be removed from our room. Not just the contents of the minibar, but the complete fridge. No, you can not chill your own water either. Regardless of paying hundreds of dollars for the two rooms, you are not trusted with the minibar contents, and your room standards are decreased by removing the fridge. Trendy design is not enough for a good hotel, it’s the staff attitude that counts. Shame

Our family of 3 adults stayed at Hotel G for 2 nights. We booked a Family Room which has an interesting configuration - 2 separate rooms (1 with queen bed and 1 with double bed each with its own bathrooms) accessed through 1 main door. My 20 yr old loved it as he had his own room.
Rooms are quite small, had to strategically open/store our 2 full size luggages. The space under the bed isn't big enough to fit our large size luggage. Above all, the bathroom layout is the most inconvenient. Inside the bath area is the toilet and rain shower, which is impossible to put your clothing inside (everything becomes wet). Outside the sliding door is a basin with barely enough countertop to place 2 cups and a razor. It would be nicer to install some hooks to hang face towels / clothing.
We arrived the hotel at 9 pm so there was no lineup for check in. However, checking out was quite painful. Imagine waiting in a small lobby with 20 people and many lugguages for 30 mins....
Hotel is very conveniently located with different bus stops across the street going to downtown and Orchid Road. There are street markets and shopping malls within 10 mins walk.
Overall, this is a decent hotel and would especially recommend families of 3 to consider their Family room.

Stayed at this hotel for 3 nights from the 15th June, the hotel is in a good location with loads of shops, restaurants and markets nearby. We ate in both restaurants located under the hotel as if you are a guest you can have a discount, food really good in both. Our room was spotless we were on the 6th floor in 0632, the room itself is very small but we knew that before we arrived so wasnt much of a shock, we did joke that the pictures made the room look huge, all basics in the room and really comfy bed with quilted mattress protector which always makes a difference, they have a green policy so wont clean the room the day after you arrive unless you request it which i think is quite a good idea, overall really good experience and would definately stay here again

This is my Nth time visiting Hotel G and since day 1, i always have pleasant experience here. Unlike my other staycations here in Singapore, i do not have to deal with issues on cleanliness, service and thoughtfulness of the staff. Being particular about cleanliness, i always do a check on hotel room’s cleanliness by wiping down surfaces with strong disinfectant wipes. Of the multiple visits here in Hotel G, i found my wet wipes remain unstained. Kudos for the consistency.
Good Crowd management, customer service experience and thoughtfulness of the staff can be felt from the entrance to the concierge; even along the corridor when i bump into the staffs. During this stay, Daryl the duty manager check us in within a short span of time and ensured our stay was comfortable and enjoyable.
No doubt, a place to come to whenever i want to wind down at an affordable place.

I come here for the price, convenience in location and superior beds compared to most in other low cost and even some luxury hotels in Asia (often too firm). I like soft and supportive sleep with clean white sheets. G provides that. Rooms smell fresh. I travel light so the space is fine for me. Good wifi.
The food in the restaurants is heavy - mostly meat, cheese, and burgers not great and lots of alcohol - bar food. Stylish but if you eat healthy and want a salad you'll have a hard time. there is a veggie burger if you're a vegetarian. Cafes can be found within walking distance. Free water refills on each floor.
I got a discounted rate online under $100 USD and find it well worth the stay for that price for my business trip as an entrepreneural business owner.
Enjoy

Taxis are cheap and plentiful. You'll have no difficulty finding one on arrival, and the hotel will call one for you when you need to leave.
If you want to take a train to the airport, you'll need to allow at least 90 mins to cover walk from hotel to station, and changes in train lines which can be confusing.
There are more places to choose from in the Singapore area.
