Not in ALL – Accor Live Limitless
This property carries the ibis budget name but is not enrolled in ALL – Accor Live Limitless. A stay here earns no points and confers no elite benefits, so it is left out of this site's program counts, editor's picks and ranked guides. Everything below still applies -- it is simply not a loyalty stay.
Last updated August 13, 2026
ibis budget Singapore Imperial sits on Penhas Road in the Lavender/Kallang area -- formerly branded Fragrance Hotel Imperial -- about a 5-minute walk from Lavender MRT Station and within walking distance of Kampong Glam and Haji Lane. The property has around 74 economy rooms with flat-screen TVs, air conditioning, and mini fridges, plus a rooftop swimming pool and on-site dining including Sen Restaurant and a coffee shop. Guest reviews are largely positive on cleanliness, staff friendliness, and the convenient location near an MRT station, supermarkets, and 24-hour convenience stores, with recurring complaints about small room sizes, thin walls/soundproofing, and firm mattresses. The hotel does not participate in the ALL - Accor Live Limitless loyalty programme's points or elite-tier benefits, though ALL members can still book member rates.

Worth knowing before you book
- Published room counts vary slightly by source (71 vs. 74); 74 is the more commonly cited figure across booking aggregators
- No independently dated blog or press review with fetchable, confirmable content could be found -- external written coverage is limited to aggregator/guest-review platforms, so the reviews array is left empty rather than sourced from an unverifiable snippet
- No confirmed YouTube video specifically about this property could be found; the videos array is left empty rather than guessed
