Bliss Hotel Singapore

Bliss Hotel Singapore Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Bliss Hotel Singapore on Upper Cross Street, you immediately get that “I found something good” feeling. This three-star boutique spot sits right in the thick of Chinatown’s action, but somehow manages to feel like a calm retreat once you step inside. The building itself has character — you know, that mix of old Singapore charm with modern touches that actually works instead of feeling forced.

Location That Actually Matters

Here’s the thing about staying in Singapore’s Chinatown — you’re basically at the center of everything that matters. I mean, you can walk to Clarke Quay in about ten minutes, the MRT station is practically next door, and some of the city’s best hawker centers are literally around the corner. What I really appreciate is how couples seem to get it — they consistently rate this location a 9.6, and honestly, I can see why. You’ve got that romantic evening stroll factor along the Singapore River, plus all those little temples and traditional shophouses that make for great photo ops.

The Room Experience

The rooms here are what I’d call “smartly designed” — they’re not huge (this is Singapore, after all), but every inch feels purposeful. The room I stayed in had this clean, minimalist vibe that didn’t feel sterile, if that makes sense. Good air conditioning — which, let’s be real, is non-negotiable in this climate — and surprisingly effective blackout curtains. The bathroom was compact but well-thought-out, with a decent shower that actually had proper water pressure.

Neighborhood Discoveries

What really sold me on this place was stepping outside and immediately being part of the neighborhood rhythm. There’s this amazing dim sum place two blocks away that locals actually go to, and the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple is close enough for an early morning visit before the crowds arrive. You know what’s great? The night market energy — once the sun goes down, the whole area transforms into this vibrant mix of food stalls, bars, and that distinctly Southeast Asian evening buzz that you can’t really replicate anywhere else.

Why Guests Love It

The staff here actually seem to care about your experience, which isn’t always a given at mid-range hotels. They’re genuinely helpful with directions and recommendations — not just the touristy stuff, but real suggestions about where to eat and what to skip. The hotel’s location score of 9.5 isn’t just a number; it reflects how rare it is to find a place where you can walk to Marina Bay, Little India, and the financial district without breaking a sweat. For the price point, you’re getting that sweet spot of comfort, character, and connectivity that makes a Singapore trip actually enjoyable rather than just another hotel stay.
