Cheap price for Singapore. Can walk to Aljunied Mrt (600m) and bus stops (400m).
From Changi Mrt to Aljunied Mrt $1.64, change at Tanah Merah station. You can use your MasterCard or visa to tap on and off mrts and buses in Singapore. Download the SimplyGo app, add your cards and it can notify you how much your trips costs. Just make sure your bank doesn’t charge you any foreign transaction fees.
Check in was efficient and friendly. $10sgd deposit, refunded on check out. Free wifi, works great.
Room has bath towels, 2 in 1 hair and body shampoo bottles, Toothbrush and toothpaste, shower cap, hairdryer. Shower only. Supplies are replenished when you ask for housekeeping through reception. Housekeeping is by request.
Mini fridge, sealed cups of drinking water, coffee, kettle and cups. Don’t forget to flick the switch outside the bathroom to activate hot water.
Cupboard, desk, bedside table, chairs, tv. Blackout curtains. Aircon works well. Our room on the 4th floor was fairly quiet.
Sims vista market & food centre is walking distance (700m). Lots of food around. Also lots of food around Aljunied mrt.

Stayed at this hotel for 6 nights. Receptionist was okay, not overly friendly. No lounging area for sitting. Therefore first impressions is, you think that you are walking into a shop.

Rooms are basic, but spacious. Bed linen fresh and clean. Hairdryer never worked, luckily booked two family rooms, used hairdryer in other room. No shelf to place shower gel in bathroom. Had to put on floor in shower. No safe in bedroom.

Room a little tired and dated, needs modernising.

Overall, if I were to visit Singapore again, I would not stay at Bright Star Hotel, I would prefer to spend a little more money and stay in the Singapore part of town, where it's less crowded and cleaner. Also, where there is a gym and other amenities.

Plus is there are many taxis available at a reasonable price (Minimum/Base Price SGD 3.70), also MRT nearby. Transportation links very good.

If you are looking for somewhere to just lay your head a night time, this is the hotel for you. If you want a little more amenities and other facilities, book elsewhere.

We did only stayed in this hotel over night. Staff at the reception in the night was not so helpful. But the lady at the reception the other day was very helpful though we could not get the late check out. The hotel is not bad for a short stay.

Flew from Delhi on Aug 31, 00:55 Jet flight to Singapore, landed there at T3 Changi Airport 9 am local time, went to T1 for MRT tourist Pass for Metro train its unlimited pass for MRT LRT and Bus for 3 Days, cost 30SGD refundable 10 SGD in 5 days, after it gets over buy tickets at staionsits simple, Singapore is best connected on trains no doubt nowfrom there the Singa ride started. Hopping on to East West (Green line) went to Geylang checked into hotel courteously at 1pm relaxed for minutes, went on to Gardens by the bay and Indoor forset by MRT, tranquil misty view of cloud forest was awesome, checked in the plantation all air conditioned costing 28 SGD, in the evening checked the light show there, relaxed in hotel at night.
Next day started with ION sky tower at ION mall orchard road, there you need to shop for 20 SGD per person at mall for free view of the show at 55th floor, as there are show timings of 45 mins be punctual for that, evening leisure at Orchard street and way back to China town.
Next day was for Sentosa, went for universal, by 3 got free, there was heavy rush, be sure to buy Express Pass always may that be a working day, the good thing is universal costs 76 SGD but for 60+ seniors its 38 SGD, just carry a soft copy of passport it would do the job, make sure to ride first at jurassic park ride it has most waiting time, best reach there by 9:30 and you will enjoy your day well, in the evening on way back went for Bugis street for 1$ shopping of chocos, that was fun, cheap softdrinks also available to try.
Next day was for little India, temple and Indian food.
Try ShengSiong for international foods, tap water is safe but i got to buy 1.5 Ltr for 0.60 SGD thats worth, isnt it.
Dont miss Mustafa City centre in little India, its worth the visit nice big n fits shopping pockets.
Tried Jurong Birds park and Zoo that was nice but day was humid.
Dint do the night safari missed that dont repent.
Last day 4 hours for Merlion was enough for all click click and walkways and final 40 mins ride on the river did nice job.
Back on 5th day by flight in the evening, landed delhi at 11 pm.
Jet on flight service is good, they offer all drinks and meal which is worth and relaxing and let you sleep after that.
Good Luck for your trip :)

The hotel located on Lorong 17 in Geylang, close to a red-light district, which spans approximately between Lorong 6 and Lorong 20 South to Geylang Road. The district was built mostly in 1920s, so it has a breath of history unlike many other areas in Singapore.

Our room was not especially large and new, but comfortable enough. It had a small fridge and no safety box. The room had 2 free sockets and in case of need you can unplug TV. All sockets were British. The room didn't have soap, but there were shower gel and shampoo. We bought antibacterial soap in I-Tec supermarket (250m). Room service is available upon request. Hotel staff is friendly and helpful. There is free WiFi, which is quite stable and fast. An air conditioner was located exactly above the bed blowing to the right side of it making person sleeping there to use a warm blanket.

The neighbourhood is rather quiet as there is not much traffic on lorongs (lanes) in Geylang.

The hotel is located 750m from Aljunied MRT station. It takes about 40 minutes to go to Marina Bay. There is 24h Sheng Siong middle-size supermarket 150m from hotel. There is also Giant supermarket in 1.6 km behind Aljunied station. There are money changers on Geylang Road 200m from the hotel. There are places to eat around the hotel and in 650m not so far from Aljunied MRT there is Sims Vista Hawker center. There is also Old Airport Road shopping mall and hawker center in 1.3km. East Coast Park with its beaches is located in 3.2 km from the hotel. Geylang East Avenue 2 hosts Foo Hai Chan Monastery and Sri Sivan Temple in 1.5km from the hotel. Also Geylang is a home for lots of durain shops.

What i likeabout this place is that there are alot of hawkers and food everywhere! Across the street is a 24hr grocery store. The aljunied station is like a 10minute walk only. We were group of four and the room is spacious enough with 2 big beds. Wifi is ok. I was able to watch and download movies. The area is a red light district so at night time the neighborhood is alive.

Bad place, guy that works the night shift was rude, unfriendly, no smiles. I felt like he didnt like us or he had mischievious intentions like robbing or even killing us. Ofc nothing bad happened. We stayed for only one night cause our other hotel wouldnt let us book in early.

The ac was weak, barely worked. Room is very old, seemed dirty and dusty. Really hot

Understanding that geyland is a red light district it is understandable the hotel standards are only meant for "hourly businesses" however we stayed a night anyways

The doors slamming from the hallway is loud, you can hear footsteps from thr hallway.

Sometimes we heard men chattering which made us worry that we might get robbed. (The impression the night shift guy gave us made us not trust this hotel)

We didnt sleep all night, one of us always kept a watch on the door.

I would not recommend this hotel unless you were doing your "red light business" here. But even then there are cheaper hotels by the hour for that in geyland.

My family stay 3 night at the hotel.The room always smell like its just got painted. Very difficult to sleep with the smell.Last day we suppose to check out at 12 noon. But my 2 Children went out in the morning and came back a little bit late (12:30) because of the Traffic. The Receptionist charge us 10$ for that (its still ok ) . But her attitude and the way she talk to us was unacceptable. STAY AWAY IF U WANT TO HAVE A FUN TRIP.

stayed at Bright Star Hotel for two nights. it's in the geylang area. Hotel room is clean, and roomy, bed is firm and comfortable, nice pillows, clean toilet, cool aircon, with TV, ref, hair dryer.Wifi is excellent. Surprised that even though this is a budget hotel, all amenities i needed is here except for bidet. Check in was easy, need to deposit SGD10 for the electronic card but refundable upon check out. Hotel is around 10 min walk to Aljuneid MRT. There are lots of resto in the area as well as fruit stands. Surroundings were fairly quiet. Will definitely stay here the next time I am in SG.
