There is a budget hotel in one of Singapore's tourist districts.
The double room was 150 square feet.
The bed was just a mattress on the floor and stained.
Hotel Calmo Chinatown has the worst rating in Singapore.
One of the best places to go backpacking in Singapore is the hotel in Chinatown. Many tourists try to save money by staying in cheaper accommodations in the city state.
The lowest rating I've seen for a hotel with at least 120 reviews is for Hotel Calmo Chinatown.
The guest who stayed at the hotel in October said it was dirty and stinky. A guest who stayed at the hotel in July wrote in a review that another guest entered their room accidentally.
The hotel has an average score of one star and only has six reviews on the website. The guests said their experience at the hotel was frightening.
I booked a one-night stay after looking up the hotel on the internet, and was curious to see what it was like.
I paid 135 Singapore dollars for a double room.
Most three-star hotels in the city-state have nightly rates over $100.
I paid $55 for a night's stay at Hotel 81, but the hotel costs more.
The Insider paid for my stay at the hotel.
The hotel looked similar to most other boutique hotels. The hotel is located in a former 19th century Cantonese opera house, and the entrance was nice.
The exterior looked like it was from a more expensive hotel chain.
The front desk was simple and efficient.
Most of the guests at the hotel seemed to be tourists from abroad, despite the fact that the hotel is open for day use.
The hotel's poor condition became obvious as I entered.
Tourists were taking their luggage up the stairs because the escalators weren't working.
The escalators were dirty and the design didn't reflect the price.
I barely had time to notice the room was 150 square feet, because the bed was the real shock. There was a mattress on the floor.
The room was in poor condition. There were holes in the walls and the ceiling was damaged.
There was a TV and a kettle in the room.
Guests can get in touch with the front desk by scanning a code on their phone, according to a hotel representative.
The design of the bathroom was odd, the shower was next to the toilet bowl and there was no divider between them.
Dental kits and soaps were provided. There was a slightly sour smell to the towels.
The sheets that were stained with either red wine or blood bothered me the most when I woke up in the morning.
The discovery of blood stains on my sheets at Malaysia's famous "haunted" hotel was unpleasant but still somewhat on brand.
I slept it off because I couldn't call the front desk and was already asleep. I could hear the noise from the street below and from other rooms in the hotel.
I was told by the representative that the team would be more than happy to help me there.
I had fresh air and plenty of sunlight in the morning when I stayed at the hotel.
Natural light and traditional windows make for pretty pictures.
The traditional architecture of the shophouses were visible from my windows.
The best part of the hotel was that it was located in the heart of Chinatown, which made it a lot of tourist attractions.
The location of the hotel was too good for one guest who stayed there in November.
I contacted the hotel again to see if they had anything to say about the issues I had. The hotel representative said operations started in July.
A hotel representative told me that they were aware of the reviews. We will try to do better.
What do you think about Singapore's worst- rated hotel? I found the problems when I went to Hotel Calmo Chinatown.
There were no pests, and the location was clean.
The limited amenities include the mattress on the floor.
I don't recommend staying at the hotel, but it's not the worst one I've stayed at. The price is also overpriced. If you're looking for a cheap budget hotel in Singapore, I would recommend the Hotel 81 Premier Star, which has a bad reputation but was harmless when I stayed there.
