The name BIG is probably after the reception, because nothing else is big here. The hotel is on the modern style and the rooms have been smartly designed to put everything in the minimum sqf space.

The name by itself is annoying for the following reason. This is a conversation I had with a colleague:

XXX: Where do you stay?

Me: at the BIG hotel?

XXX: Which big hotel?

Me: There is only one BIG hotel in Singapore?

XXX: euh uhm ... how big is it?


this is where you just think sh.. and you start clarifying ...


Apart from this little problem, at 5mins from Bugis, it is a brand new and comfortable hotel for S$ 140, breakfast included.

The room

As mentioned, it is very small; actually, it cannot be smaller!

The room is the length of the bed. It is a long room; as long as the distance bed+desk+shower+toilet.

But it is well designed, and you may wonder why it should be bigger...

The Gym and the Swimming pool

Unlike the name, the Gym is very small, and there is no swimming pool.

Taxi Stand

I never mentioned it for any other hotel. Just one very useful tip here. The taxi stand is at the 1st floor, inside the carpark, and you will never see a cab unless you request it from the reception, at the ground floor!!!


Forget about it: Exit the hotel, turn left, cross the road; there is a BIG taxi stand at 75 meters.

Would I recommend it?

Single travelers, this is a place for you.
