The Santa Grand East Coast Hotel is located in Singapore's charming and quiet Katong section. This area has various restaurants and beautiful Peranakan architecture. It is well connected to the city center by bus and metro. The hotel is well designed with a lovely small swimming pool on the roof. The room we stayed in was tiny but well-designed.

The tiny room is enough for a short, a few days' stay, but it would benefit from a bench for opening suitcases and additional hooks for hanging clothes outside the wardrobe. Otherwise, all was perfect.

Absolutely amazing staff at the hotel. Good location with connections to the centre ( bus stop was few minutes walk, subway around 20 min walk).

Very loud neighbours. I had to call reception the first night as next-door guests came in around midnight and were arguing until 1:30 a.m. (stopped after the call). It was like they were in the room with us. The same thing happened every single night. We didn't call reception again, we just loudly asked the neighbours to be quiet. But they did wake us up every midnight.

Loved the location, lots of cafes both local and Western in the area. The staff at the hotel are very friendly and helpful. My room was clean and the bed very comfortable. Loved the pool on the roof.

My room had the traditional old windows , which were wood and coloured glass. So it meant the room was a bit dark. Also no reading light/ lamp next to the bed, so overhead lighting was a bit harsh. No lights in pool area at night, so actually quite dangerous at night..

I love the location. It is nearby the Catholic Church, restaurants, groceries and public transport pick-up/drop-off area. The area is quiet and far from busy streets. The hotel room is good for family and the staffs are so friendly and assisting.

Rooms are not as big as i expected. Area is far away from Metro. Taking grab everytime you go places will be expensive.

Great location. Walk to Marine Pde MRT Lots of eateries along Joo Chiat Rd and IG peranakan heritage terraces

Santa Grand Hotel truly wowed me! It’s such a charming little gem right in the heart of everything—restaurants, a shopping center, and the MRT station are all just a stone's throw away. The hotel was super clean, and I loved the extra touch of the free minibar along with coffee and tea. It really made our stay special! We were traveling with our little one, and when we requested a crib, they happily provided one for us. The staff were incredibly friendly and always ready to help. I even lost my phone in a cab on the way back to the hotel, and it was switched off, which had me really worried. But Ms. Mery at the reception was amazing! She took the time out of her busy day to help me track it down, calling the cab company and coordinating with the driver to get it back. Thank you so much, Ms. Mery! Your kindness and hospitality meant the world to me!

Katong is a very vibrant area to stay with many independent businesses- coffee shops, clothing, homeware and restaurants. It’s close to some small shopping malls and you can access East Coast Park in around 20-30 mins by foot. The hotel does not include breakfast but offers a discount at Merci Marcel next door which is a lovely place to eat. There are many other places around as well. Well connected by public transport including new MRT line. Only 15 mins from airport! Rooms are nice if a little on the smaller size.

Rooms were a bit dark but that due to the nature of the building and the shuttered windows. Pool area is not that great but passable. Might be too far from main attractions for some tourists - we have visited before so it was fine.

Room was really big compared to other accommodations in Singapore, the design of the room was warm and friendly. Very clean and the beds were very comfortable. I really liked the shower shampoo and soap, they seemed to be way more qualitative than any other place I ever stayed in. I don't usually use the shampoos in hotels. I also liked the pool at the last floor, which I didn't use but you can just go there for the panorama. I chose the location because I needed to be in that area, but even if it's not central, it has good MRT connections so you can reach the city center in 30-45 minutes.

Staff felt a bit unwelcoming and seemed to consider their guests as potential disruptors when notifying me of the fact that I have to submit an amount of 100 SGD as warranty although I booked through booking and I also paid the hotel with the card. Also I didn't like the glass bathrooms, meaning the bathroom walls were actually made of glass. It was not transparent but for me I have the feeling I have no privacy and also it would disturb the other person if they were sleeping because of the poor sound proofing.

great room, lovely pool area and great restaurant staff very friendly
