The Fortuna Hotel is a no-frills, budget property located in vibrant Little India just a three-minute walk from Mustafa Market and the Farrer Park MRT Station. The hotel's 104 rooms, which range from doubles to four-person family rooms, are basic but comfortable with tasteful, generic decor, though they're showing a bit of wear. Rooms are air-conditioned and feature en-suite bathrooms and standard amenities like electric kettles, mini-fridges, flat-screen TVs, and free Wi-Fi, though some guests find the latter unreliable. The hotel has virtually no extra property features -- there's a reception area, but no real lounge space. A very basic breakfast is offered for an extra fee. By comparison, the nearby Broadway Hotel Singapore is a budget property with an on-site restaurant, but starker guest room decor.
Scene
Comfortable but basic budget hotel with few extras
The Fortuna Hotel is a no-frills property designed for budget travelers, and it attracts many Indian guests due to it's location in the heart of Little India. The seven-story building is hard to miss with a massive window-wall accented with bright red. The ground floor features entrances to other businesses, and guests walk into the hotel through double glass doors where a narrow entryway with brown and green marbled floors leads to a massive wood reception desk. The only place to sit here is on a pair of wooden benches. This is it for common spaces: The rest of the hotel is dedicated to guest rooms.
Location
In Little India, just a three-minute walk from the MRT
The exterior of the Fortuna Hotel features a Western Union and the hotel's front doors are tucked between a tourist office and a sundry store on a busy main street in Little India. Mustafa Market, a popular 24-hour shopping mall, is right around the corner, about a three-minute walk, and lots of restaurants dot the lively neighborhood. Most of the sights outside of the neighborhood are pretty easily accessible via the Farrer Park MRT Station, about a three-minute walk. - Four-minute walk to Sri Srinivasa Perumal Temple
