My stay at Hotel 1887 was generally enjoyable, thanks to its central location in Chinatown and friendly staff. The cozy room was a bit small, especially for someone as tall as I am, but the charm of the hotel made up for it. However, the breakfast options could use some improvement in quality.

The room was compact, featuring an elevated bed and a small bathroom which felt a bit stuffy in the tropical climate. Despite the size, the large French doors opened to a vibrant view of Chinatown's Food Street, which added a lively ambiance.

While most staff were friendly and helpful (especially the cheerful lady at the bar), I encountered an incident at reception that left a negative impression. One receptionist was rude, which overshadowed the otherwise pleasant service experience.

The hotel's location is absolutely perfect for anyone looking to explore Chinatown, as it is within walking distance of many attractions including the MRT station. It's truly in the heart of Chinatown, surrounded by restaurants and night markets.

The breakfast included a limited selection that was decent but could use improvements — my eggs benedict was average at best. There were many options, but the quality did not meet my expectations.

Basic but sufficient facilities include laundry and housekeeping, which made my stay comfortable. The communal areas were well-maintained and had a nice vibe, ideal for relaxing or working.

My stay at Hotel 1887 was a mixed bag. While the location in Chinatown was fantastic and super convenient for exploring, the room I had was quite cramped and the noise level was unexpectedly high. The breakfast was decent but could definitely use some variety. Overall, if you're looking for a place to crash after a busy day, it's not terrible, but I think there are better options out there.

My stay at Hotel 1887 The New Opera House was a mixed experience. While the rooms were quite small and a bit cramped, the excellent breakfast and friendly service made my stay enjoyable. The location in Chinatown is fantastic, but the noise from the street could be disruptive at times.
Rooms

The room was really small, around 7 to 10 square meters, and I found it quite tight for movement (definitely no space for a small table or chair!). However, the bed was comfortable, and the mattress was decent, just a bit tricky to get in and out of because of its platform design.

Breakfast was a highlight for me (loved the variety and the egg station!). From traditional Singaporean dishes to continental options, there was something for everyone, though the seating area could be a bit less aesthetically pleasing.

While the hotel offers basic amenities like housekeeping and laundry, the room design didn't allow much for personal items or workspaces. Wi-Fi was inconsistent, which could be a downside for some.
