Detailed Reviews
During my recent one-night stay at J8 Hotel, I was pleased to find that the rooms were immaculately clean. However, they were quite small and furnished with twin beds. The air conditioning unit was rather loud on high fan speed and did not cool the room effectively. Unfortunately, when attempting to contact reception, I was directed to voicemail multiple times. Upon visiting the front desk, I found the receptionist occupied with her phone while the hotel's main line was ringing. Furthermore, the hotel only provided one room card, which was unusual.
It is also worth noting that the hotel charges an additional fee for rooms with windows. Nonetheless, the hotel's location near several popular tourist attractions makes it an ideal choice for travelers, as these attractions are no more than a 15-minute drive away.
Breakfast was included with the booking and consisted of one dish from the menu accompanied by tea and coffee from a large thermos. Unfortunately, the service at the cafe was subpar, with the staff member displaying rude behavior.
Overall, J8 Hotel is a suitable option for those exploring Singapore for the majority of the day.

We have stays for 6 long days,to be very specific 701 was our room and believe me it was the best deal, special thanks to Miss munya(sorry if I spelled wrong)the lady at the desk service in morning she is just a good soul.
Room:Opt for the window view as many wont be comfortable w/o a window
Breakfast: Limited options but nonveg crowd would love eating chicken and sea fish which is delicious but vege would find a bit difficult but bangon opp you have a south Indian restaurant which is a good option
Location:Ferrar park, lavender at walking distances, Little India is also nearby
For children there is a small garden area for playing
Room service is prompt and very clean.
Kuddos to team J8...
Thanks for making my singapore trip feel like home.

Another fantastic 4 nights stay at the J8 thanks to the amazing staff, the great location and the sweet price.
I fully agree with Gow's review below ("J8 a Gem in Singapore", March 2023).
The staff are lovely. Friendly and very helpful.
I stayed only once before, about a year ago, but I was immediately recognized and very welcomed with great smiles as soon as I entered the hotel.
The rooms are not large and quite a few do not have windows. However they are cleverly designed. The room I was in was fitted with multi standards socket outlets. Quite useful :)
The bed is on the hard side which is what I prefer. The shower requires some precaution as it is not separate from the rest of the bathroom. A clever way to save space and promote water savings too :)
The Wifi works great. 15MB download and 20MB upload. Consistently.
The breakfast is served in the "Vietnamese" restaurant which is part of the hotel. It is tasty and the staff always patiently accommodate special requests. There are 4 options to choose from and I usually go for the "Bánh mì", a baguette filled with chicken and some lettuce.
The location is absolutely great being not only close to a couple of MRT stations but also in a picturesque part of the city with so many food and shopping options around. At the same time the hotel is quiet which is a priority too for me ;-)
Price is another good reason to stay in the J8 especially if you are able to book well in advance.
I already have a few trips to Singapore planned for the coming year and I will definitely be staying at the J8 ❤️

J8 Hotel is a good choice for a short stay, especially if you’re looking for a budget-friendly option in Singapore. The hotel is within walking distance of Mustafa Centre, making it convenient for shopping. However, the nearest MRT station is about 600 meters away, which may be a bit of a walk for some.
Rooms are compact but reasonable for the price, offering basic comfort. The breakfast selection is limited, with only a few items available, but it’s sufficient for a quick meal. Public transport access is decent, with bus routes nearby.
Overall, J8 Hotel is a practical option for travelers who prioritize affordability and location over luxury. Ideal for a couple of nights if you’re exploring the city and don’t mind smaller rooms.

The room was a major disappointment — it was unclean, with a noticeable lack of attention to basic hygiene. To make matters worse, it was windowless, which made the atmosphere feel claustrophobic and dreary.
The beds were uncomfortably hard, offering little in the way of rest, and the air conditioning unit constantly leaked, creating a persistent noise and wet floor. Adding to the discomfort was the incessant noise, both from outside the hotel and from within, which seemed to echo around the room, making it nearly impossible to relax.

They promised parking which then was unavailable when we first arrived. The AC leaked during our first night and we were told to mop it up with towels. They claimed our daughter wasn't entitled to the breakfast that was included in our booking and blamed Booking.com for the misinformation(they then waived the breakfast charge).
They triple chraged us for our stay - the receptionist insisted that we pay upfront when we checked in and charged my husbands credit card twice. They on the morning of our checkout day, they charged my credit card that Booking has on file too.
The staff were utterly unprofessional and useless in trying to sort out the situation. We still don't know if we'll get our money back.

This is a basic hotel, if you are looking for a bed and a hot shower after a day exploring then this is perfect.
The rooms were small but comfortable, the wifi worked everyday we were there.
The breakfast was basic and Asian inspired but was tasty.
There is an Indian cafe over the road that does a good Prata for breakfast with fresh Kopi or Teh.
If you are not expecting 5 star luxury then this hotel is great.

Stayed here in March 2023 for 2 nights to watch the HSBC women’s world championship golf. The hotel is great, nice location between Lavender mrt and Jalan Besar mrt. It’s so easy to get too. The room was small (single) but that’s what to expect from hotels in Singapore, but bigger than others I have had. The breakfast was a choice of Asian food or a lovely baguette. The reception staff was great and the room was clean, free water and a lovely hot shower. Highly recommended for the price in Singapore. Only a couple of rides away on the mrt from the centre. If coming from Changi airport, it’s easy to get off at Lavender mrt as it’s on the same line. I will use again.

Very small rooms with no windows, stained bedding, and a lot of noise on the hallway.
Execrabile breakfast, only with fried food.
To pay by card, a minimum order is required.
After check out they did not allow us to stay in the lobby to wait for the taxi.
