A 172-room design-economy hotel on Albert Street, steps from Rochor MRT, with a rooftop pool and compact 14-16 sqm rooms.
Last updated August 13, 2026
ibis Styles Singapore Albert is a 172-room design-economy hotel at 175 Albert Street, steps from Rochor MRT and within walking distance of Bugis, Little India, and Arab Street. Rooms run compact at 14-16 square metres with vibrant, locally-inspired interiors, and the hotel's rooftop pool is repeatedly singled out by guests as long enough for real laps and a genuine highlight rather than a token feature. Reviews consistently praise the central location and friendly, efficient front-desk service, while a recurring theme is that rooms and bathrooms feel tight for the rate, breakfast seating gets cramped at peak times, and some fixtures (TVs, shower curtains) show their age.
