We stayed during part of the 2025 formula 1 weekend because our accommodation closer to town (Hotel Boss) was booked for some of the nights.
Very clean, room was spacious compared to our other accomodation, staff were very friendly and accomodating. The location is further from the city but the rail was close. We enjoyed our stay and would stay again. Safe, clean and nice staff.

I love this hotel! I had a beautiful, spacious room with a balcony, and the shower was exceptional. The hotel is ideally located close to the MRT line that links the airport to the downtown tourist areas, it's less than half an hour to either, and there are plenty of shops and restaurants in the local area. Also, after I checked out of my room, they kindly allowed me to store my luggage at reception while I explored the city, which I really appreciated.

booked a room for 3 but realised only a double bed was provided to us. went to enquire and front desk staff kindly gave us additional room without requiring additional payment as their superior family room was fully booked.
Otherwise, stay was pleasant!

Overall, we were happy with our stay at A Hotel Joo Chiat (aka Champion Hotel).
The room was quiet and clean. There were a few rough edges, like the cupboard door coming off the hinge, but just fine.
We did not expect to pay a 50 SGD deposit upon check-in, this should have been noted prior to booking.

Champion Hotel offers an excellent experience with its ideal location, making it highly convenient to access various food centers. The hotel itself is beautifully designed, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere. Features like the room's window provide lovely natural lighting, adding to the overall comfort.
The front desk service was exceptional; Esther assisted me during check-in, and her friendly demeanor made the process enjoyable. Overall, my stay at Champion Hotel was highly satisfying, and I would strongly recommend it to anyone seeking a comfortable and relaxing staycation.
However, one area for improvement would be the process of requesting amenities, as guests are required to collect them from the front desk. My suggestion would be to plan ahead to avoid any inconvenience, especially if you're dressed for relaxation. Despite this, it does not diminish the overall quality of the stay

I can only speak for the dorm rooms but the mattresses, if you can call them that, are atrociously thin and you basically feel like you're sleeping on wood. I've stayed in many hostels and this is by far the worst sleep I've had in a hostel. Also, the plug outlet for my room wasn't working, and though the front desk was informed multiple times and they said they'd send someone up to fix it, they never did. They offered to have me change beds but moving all of my stuff was more of an inconvenience than what it.was worth. If the staff say they're going to do something than do it.

Clean and friendly
The reception staff were good and they helped us sort the room to our comfort level.
The rooms are clean with toilet accessories and bath towels which are changed everyday.
The location of the hotel is good as there are a couple of South Asian restaurants and close to bus stations and MRT.
Overall very pleasant stay for us. I certainly recommend this hotel as the price is not took much .

The hotel itself is in a very good location and convenient to access the city. There are lot of shops and malls around, with the Joo Chiat Complex just next door. However, a lot of basic things needed improvement:
1) I had booked this hotel because according to brochures it had free onsite covered parking. I tried to contact the hotel through Hotels.com app to confirm the parking arrangement, but no one responded. Even after Hotels.com tried to contact them on my behalf, they did not respond.
2) They have a locker in the room, but it does not work. Apparently, all lockers have been turned off, they are just a showpiece.
3) They have a phone in the room, but it does not work. According to the hotel, only our room 226 phone was not working.
4) The room does not have any windows. To the hotel's credit, they do inform about this when booking.
5) They are aware that we are 4 occupants in the room, yet they only leave 3 towels everyday. We have to go down to collect the 4th towel as the phone in the room is not working.
Although the hotel has potential to be a great one, they have only themselves to blame due to lacklustre service and poor attitude towards maintenance.

The bathroom roof leaks and smell, the water got my body while I was using it, since I only stay one night and was tired,I did not ask for changing the room. The roof of the reception hall is also leaking. I told the staff about it before I checked out around 7 in the morning.

Terrible experience, broken and smoky rooms
This was our worst hotel experience ever. We have stayed at this property before when it was Champion Hotel, but since rebranding to A Hotel Joo Chiat, the standards have completely collapsed.
My parents’ stay was a nightmare. They were forced to change rooms five times over a five-night stay due to major issues: faulty air conditioning, a broken TV, loud pressure noises that made them nauseous, and even a room with leftover fruit and ants crawling everywhere. The final room still had a malfunctioning aircon, which is unacceptable in Singapore’s humid climate. To make matters worse, each room change placed them on a different floor or far from the previous room, forcing us to constantly pack up and move. We have deposit receipts to prove how many times this happened.
Our own room had serious issues too. The shower water pressure fluctuated between normal and jet mode every two seconds, and hot water ran out after just 10 minutes—not enough time to wash long hair. Despite having an opened but sealed pack of dessert, ants still invaded the room. The worst part? The hotel’s digital Do Not Disturb/Make Up Room system stopped working conveniently when housekeeping arrived, allowing staff to enter against our wishes. This was a clear violation of our privacy.
This hotel completely failed us. Between the constant room changes, poor maintenance, and lack of respect for guest privacy, this was an extremely stressful and frustrating stay. AVOID this place at all costs.
