Hey guys! Kayden here back with another review. Today, I will be reviewing D’hotel, a 3-star hotel here in Singapore. It has been a long long time since I stayed in a 3-star hotel due to several bad experiences with them.
However, since YSK is venturing into staycations, I decided to take a step out and booked the deluxe room at D’hotel!
Location
D’hotel is located right beside a busy road, around 10 minutes walk away from Outram Park MRT. In its vicinity, there is a lack of entertainment options and supermarkets to buy your staycation necessities such as food and drinks.
However, there are a few Chinese seafood restaurants located nearby, along with the famous “Tiong Bahru Pau & Snack” which sells traditional dim sum and pau.
Room
The room itself is very spacious, comparable with most 4 star hotels that I have been to. The interior looks very simple and perhaps too simple that it did not manage to leave a deep impression.
The view outside is quite disappointing. Basically, what you can see are the backyards of the shophouses nearby and the busy main road.
As expected, the toilet does not come with a bathtub but it does offer ample space for bathing. However, I faced a problem where the showerhead’s position is pointing away from me when mounted. Hence, I needed to manually hold the showerhead while bathing.
The soundproofing of the room is pretty bad and I could constantly hear people’s chatter outside. (My room is located pretty close to the lift.)
Pool
D’hotel does not have a swimming pool nor a gym. However, D’hotel has a rooftop bar for you to have a few drinks with your family & friends.
Conclusion
An acceptable hotel at the given price point (<100), especially if you are just looking for a place to gather with friends. I think it is okay not having a pool but the lack of supermarkets nearby is quite a bummer. The weak soundproofing is definitely something to be aware of as this seems to coincide with quite a few reviews online.
Do you have a higher budget? I highly recommend reading our Parkroyal at Pickering review!

![[Full review] It’s been quite a while since I wrote a review 😅 hence here’s a short one on ShuKuu Izakaya, which we went on my birthday dinner!
Are you finding some Izakaya restaurants with good food to have with your drink? Maybe you can take a look at this review first ❤️
[Rosti mentai] was one of the highly recommended fish on google review. However, it wasn’t our favourite. I feel like the rosti wasn’t charred enough to have the fragrance and the mentai sauce was a bit heavy after awhile 🥲
[Gyu Ponzu] is basically a lightly seared beef with ponzu sauce, and surprisingly it actually tastes quite nice! The beef was on the tough side but, the sauce makes it really refreshing and gives the beef an interesting take!
[Hotate sashimi] here is one of my favourite hotate sashimi! It was really fresh and sweet, and I made Kayden take a bite even though he doesn’t like raw food, and he thinks it’s pretty good too! Highly recommended if you take sashimi!
[6 pc Oden] is slightly disappointing. The soup wasn’t as good as I thought it would be. The oden tasted just ok-ish too~ I think there’s nicer oden with delicious soup out there.
[Bacon scallop] is another highly recommended dish! The scallop is wrapped in the bacon and grilled. Thus, the fragrance and umami from the bacon oil is being infused into the super fresh scallop with its own sweetness. The best dish we tried tbh. Highly recommended!
[Buta minced pork cutlet] is basically their homemade minced pork cutlet which I find it quite… normal? The seasoning of the meat is on the salty side, and the minced meat was not put together to form a patty that has a very good texture and bite, unfortunately.
