Hotel NuVe Urbane

- room looked very nice, clean and well lit - complimentary minibar (cookies, tea, coffee, sugar, creamer, ice tea, cola, sprite) - bathroom items - shower AND bathtub - how the building was re-done from an old colonial building (keeping the structure, but adapting it to the modern days and necessities) - there is a mini-pool & outside lounge area

Overall, this was a comfortable stay. I booked this accommodation on very short notice due to sudden changes in my schedule, but was pleasantly surprised by the thoughtfulness of the hotel. Room was not big (which was to be expected, granted its price point), but it had everything I needed and the layout was intuitive. I also appreciated the little perks such as local snacks at the lobby, postcards detailing how to speak "singlish", and posters explaining the hotel's heritage (it's a restored colonial building)! While I didn't indulge in any of the snacks, I imagine that this would be quite a unique stay for tourists.

I really liked the hotel’s service, and the staff were very good. The convenient thing here is that the hotel is located between the Little India and Kampong Glam areas, and it’s also very close to the MRT and bus stations, making it easy to get around. It’s easy to find as well. I asked for room decoration on the first day I arrived at the hotel, and they decorated it very beautifully! When I first entered the hotel, it smelled so good, and there was also a free cake counter. I had booked a room not near the pool, but they upgraded me to a room right next to the pool. Overall, I really liked it. There’s a water heater, so no worries about taking cold showers. I really liked it!

Staff were very friendly and helpful during the stay. Great location close to metro and easy to find and close to malls/food courts. Free snacks and drinks daily was a nice touch and added bonus and the rooftop pool is great - though there is building work going on that can disrupt the calm atmosphere. Room is small as expected, which is not unusual so if you have large luggage may be an issue (we have medium backpacks and had no issues at all) and bathroom/shower is great

Very comfy space and a bit of walk from Lavender station if you’re carrying heavy luggages (not a very flat walk) but overall good location. Coffee machine isn’t working at first but they managed to replace it immediately. The swimming pool is located on the fifth floor and lucky enough my room is also on the fifth floor so it’s super easy for me to access.
