I Stay at Singapore's Most Remote Hotel ($338/night)

Overnight at mainland Singapore's most remote hotel at Kranji. Singapore is known for being an extremely developed country so visiting Kranji was definitely shocking. Many reviews of this hotel stated that there is nothing around and it's extremely difficult to find a taxi, because it is simply just too remote. I made it a rule to survive our stay and also to come up with 3 nice things about this hotel.

For that price, that was really disappointing. At least keep the place clean. The management couldn't even be bothered.

[@user-yk9fw7qc9p]

when you employed cheap labour that is the consequences that you get. seriously singapore has a quality issue with these cheap labour.

Perkeja yang malas.hotel harga yang sangat mahal suasana tak menarik. Sungguh memalukan buang duit. Lebih baik ke pulau perhentian atau pun ke pulau pinang hotel lebih murah lebih cantik lebih berbaloi🤭 mungkin tuan hotel kedekut gaji rendah perkeja hotel buat kerja cincai😅

For that price... i would take a bus 30mins into JB and check into a 5 star hotel for THREE nights including ALL meals, daily massages .... and still hv change leftover

[@AmbientWalking]

That reveal of trash under the bed was absolutely disgusting.

[@jjsamuelgunn1136]

Agree. I think I can accept most of the faults at that place but the trash is a total dealbreaker. It's like the cleaners (if they even have any) basically just swept everything 'out of sight' every time and called it cleaning

[@roselynho7038]

This should be reported especially under the bed.😡

Wonder if they really clean the bed sheets. 😂

I found the hotel. It's called the Kranji Sanctuary Resort, for those who are wondering.

Nah, it's ok. I'm won't be that dumb to pay $338 to be bitten by🦟mosquitos, i will pass on this.

[@zerase84]

[@matlim]

I think, in the past when there was a bus that goes to the various farms and nature reserve (Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve along Neo Tiew Crescent and Kranji Way), and stops/pickup at Kranji MRT, this hotel may have seen more business for locals and visitors who wish to see, taste and hear the green side of Singapore. Unfortunately the bus service stopped some time ago, and getting to this area will mean u need transport. It's too far (more than 3km) to even walk from Sg Buloh Wetland Reserve Visitor Centre near Kranji Way (there's a bus there that goes to Kranji MRT or Choa Chu Kang MRT). Perhaps those with a car and wish to experience the countryside of Singapore, or like to visit the Sg Buloh mangroves (7am-7pm) early or late will find this hotel useful. Anyway, thanks for making this video! I never knew there was a hotel there!

[@dianaleo6056]

Interesting. Thanks for sharing.

[@V.I.P205]

Stayed here for decades and never heard of this hotel before. Thumbs up!

[@eye0807]

Bollywood farm restaurant was quite busy in the weekend when we went there a few years ago. Nice restaurant.

[@amazingrace238]

Yes nice food. But very rude lady owner. I was there years back and asked her if they have baby chairs. She replied no, take care of your own baby. I didn’t even ask her to babysit. This reply is so uncalled for. I never went back.

[@windsorus]

Apart from the resort, there are hidden gems around the around. And you found 2, Bollywood and Kranji Marshes.

[@fusioncrews5329]

eagles and birds of prey are also known as raptors! so it was basically an eagle spotting tower, which worked well!

[@fishyfrog27]

To be honest this hotel actually has the potential to be really good, just that they need to focus more on hygiene

[@elyg6282]

actually not bad. i like the bath tub that you'll feel connected to the outdoors. very farmhouse style. definitely a peaceful side of Singapore. they just really need to maintain the cleanliness. also the prices of hotels here are very ex.. sad life here is already stressful enough and most of us can't even do a simple staycation.

[@accless510]

Try staying in Changi cove, it captures the beauty and serenity of Singapore nature perfectly, and it’s less den half the price

[@hermdude]

Instead of ‘feeling like you’re in another country’, with that price, might as well go to that other country for cheaper price, or longer stay 😂

[@manchesterunitedno7]

Yeah, seems cheaper to ride ferry to Batam and book a resort there.

[@paecpc]

For a hotel hygiene standard..I’m just speechless. How can this allow in Singapore? !

[@bella7540]

Waa tq for reviewing this hotel. Been eyeing this hotel for some times. The concept is really nice. But for the price and cleanliness I rather go jb or batam for a resort feel..

[@BlueWithoutBiu]

Looking at the conclusion part of this vid, it seems like the moral lesson of going for the overnight stay there was to learn to be thankful 😂. I can feel your happiness coming back to home lol

[@GhibOjisan]

🤣🤣

[@___Danny___]

This place is more like a chalet feel than hotel, if you want more ulu you should try the one on ubin island.

[@AmbientWalking]

Really very ulu there. Feels like somewhere outside of Singapore. Really nice actually.

[@leonardoh8724]

A nice and lively review, you are always so energetic in front of the camera. As a Singaporean, I do not know such a hotel exist, it looks more like a chalet. The hotel is a bit isolated but it a great place to get away from the city. You speak good english and it seems you have integrated with our singlish culture when you said "good leh".😊😊

[@teyjs80]

Wow.. you are amazing.. trying out for the bebefits of others.

[@kelvgan]

Wow. Farmstay Singapore. Cool nice. Rustic rural side excursion

[@glennchua9043]

The raptors were referring to hawks or eagles etc

[@popcul8145]

Good say, Ghib. "Trying hard to find good things in life is important. People who try to find good things are positive people." I totally agree, man. If one is not positive or hardworking enough to find good things in life, I wonder how happy that person's life can be.

I remember going there one late afternoon to see what food were there at the food stalls near that resort and it was quite busy with like satay stalls. I feel Covid made a lot of stalls closed down sadly

[@jacl3700]

Family and I stayed there years ago. Really super ulu. Didn't realize they are still operating

[@ray13317]

I like how 2/3 of the good things is about getting away from the hotel

[@ezracerez920]

Was there back kn 2017 before they change management. Paid SGD 10 plus for a plate of fried Maggi mee with sausages and a sunny side at the pub which is the sole F&B establishment there. The karaoke at the pub blast until 3am. Cannot even have a proper rest.

[@g00nther]

This place has real potential. I like that it's remote and out of the way, and that there are hardly any people, and walking distance to the farm and wetlands etc. However there are clear areas for improvement with the hygiene being the most obvious. For that price, this is really unacceptable. Hopefully your review spurs them on to better things.

[@lemon2524]

Nice video

[@Yaphett]

It used to be bustling with businesses when lock down was lifted during the covid. I had a friend satay stall there

Hey man, love your vids, and btw you can actually eat the banana Flower...In Thailand, they fry them up and they're insanely delicious. I'm sure SG or Malaysia have some awesome recipes too. Give it a try and let us know-banana peels ain't got nothing on this! Keep them vids coming bro!!!

That’s wild!! Didn’t know can actually eat!

[@SimonK3113]

Use as garnish on assam laksa and rojak too

[@burppp.]

Boiled them with pinch of salt (optional) then eat with rice and sambal Belacan etc etc it’s an add on to other dishes..

[@personatodo]

Rise of the Ronin, so fun and underrated, basically a Rurouni Kenshin simulator lol.

[@yctoh9398]

Surprised this place still around. Thought already closed down during Covid.

[@joesr31]

I think the price is cause of the private facilities and room size. If you compare with conrad, you'll probably get maybe a quarter of this size and no private bbq pit, sauna, etc. Agree that the facilities needs to be upgraded and maintained better though. Bollywood farms is actually quite popular, it would be packed during holidays and weekends, been there a few times for their nasi lemak and banana cake.

[@morsecomm]

I don't mind stay at that hotel due to many other factors like the special places with nature I can go. Places with nature quiet can hv self discovery quicker. Can wind down and irritable emotions can be erased. Away from Singapore, Sentosa also offer very quiet places to stay but more "dolled up".Not sure any organisation hv bought over for revamp. Hopefully many locals can go to enjoy it

Looking at hygiene level, I have doubts did they even clean change the bedsheets or the towel after the previous guests check out. Or just put everything back nicely.
