M Hotel Singapore

$$ | 81 Anson Rd., Singapore, 079908, Singapore

The dull exterior makes the modern and stylish interior of this business hotel a bit of a surprise, and, though it's near the business district, it's removed from all the hurly-burly. Rooms are small, neat, and contemporary, with separate showers and bathtubs. The suites rival those of five-star hotels—the living areas have large flat-screen TVs, and the bedrooms have a TV, DVD player, and Bose stereo. There's live jazz in the J Bar, the Buffet has a selection of hot pots available each night, and Café 2000 serves Asian and Western dishes.

Pros

  • Central location
  • Weekend deals
  • Plenty of dining options in the area

  • Can seem dull on weekends
  • Small pool
  • Impersonal lobby
