Courtyard by Marriott Singapore Novena
A select-service Courtyard on Irrawaddy Road in the Novena medical and residential district.
Aloft Singapore Novena
The world's largest Aloft hotel, on Ah Hood Road in Novena, aimed at value-conscious business and leisure travelers.
Last updated July 31, 2026
Aloft Singapore Novena sits on Ah Hood Road in the Novena/Balestier area and is reported to be the largest Aloft hotel in the world by room count. Guest reviews praise a friendly, professional door and front-desk team, an attached mall with dining options, and a frequent shuttle service to Novena MRT station, with the banquet team drawing specific praise for wedding and event hosting. As a select-service, design-led budget-lifestyle brand, it's Bonvoy's most accessible price point in this directory's Singapore list, with a younger, more casual brand identity than the Courtyard next door in the same district. The clearest watchouts are check-in communication and room size: several reviews describe an unhelpful check-in process that didn't proactively explain the shuttle, breakfast location, or pool, rooms as small even for elite members, and at least one account of a security lapse with a room door left unlocked after housekeeping.

Frequently asked questions
Is Aloft Singapore Novena a good value option for Marriott Bonvoy members?
Yes, on price -- it's one of the most accessible Bonvoy rates in Singapore. Rooms run smaller than average even for elite members, so it suits travelers prioritizing cost and MRT access over space.
Does Aloft Singapore Novena provide airport or MRT transport?
It runs a free, frequent shuttle to Novena MRT station, which guest reviews describe as a reliable way to reach the rest of the city, though check-in staff don't always proactively explain the shuttle schedule -- ask at the front desk on arrival.
