Is V Hotel Lavender good value, and are there hidden fees?

For most short city stays, V Hotel Lavender gives you location and basics rather than space, and the fees beyond the room rate are published. Here is the quick answer, using the hotel's own information at the time of writing:

• Location. V Hotel says Lavender MRT station (EW11, East-West Line) is located just beneath the hotel, at 70 Jellicoe Road, Singapore 208767. From Changi Airport MRT, the hotel's directions are to take the East-West Line, change at Tanah Merah, and get off at Lavender, then use Exit B.
• Room size. Rooms are compact: 14 sqm for Superior Queen and Superior Twin, and 16 sqm for Premier Queen and Triple.
• Facilities. An outdoor pool (7am to 9pm), an air-conditioned gym that guests use free of charge, a money changer in the lobby and free high-speed WiFi.
• Listed surcharges. Early check-in, late check-out and late departures after 6pm all carry fees that the hotel prints on its FAQ.

So the "hidden fee" question mostly comes down to two things: the time-based surcharges, and whether the price you first see includes tax. Neither is hidden if you read the rate details before you pay.

V Hotel Lavender: what you get for the price

V Hotel Lavender is a mid-sized city hotel run by Worldwide Hotels, the group behind V Hotel, Hotel Boss, Hotel Mi, Value Hotel, Venue Hotel and Hotel 81. The group lists two V Hotel properties in Singapore, Lavender and Bencoolen.

The room line-up, according to V Hotel:

Room type	Size	Max occupancy	View
Superior Queen	14 sqm	2 adults	Atrium
Superior Twin	14 sqm	2 adults	Atrium
Superior Queen with view	14 sqm	2 adults	Listed by the hotel as a view room
Superior Twin with view	14 sqm	2 adults	Listed by the hotel as a view room
Premier Queen	16 sqm	2 adults	Atrium
Triple	16 sqm	3 adults	Atrium

In-room basics the hotel lists include filtered drinking water, an LED TV, an electronic safe, a mini fridge, a hairdryer, coffee and tea, slippers and toiletries, and a pocket spring mattress.

Who it tends to suit:

• Short city breaks where you are out most of the day and want the MRT downstairs.
• Concert and event trips to the Sports Hub area. The hotel itself points guests to the National Stadium and Singapore Indoor Stadium as nearby venues.
• Families with young children, with one caveat: the hotel says there is no baby cot available.

Who may want a bigger room elsewhere: anyone planning to spend a lot of time in the room, or groups of more than three adults, since the hotel applies strict occupancy limits per room.

Hidden fees at V Hotel Lavender: the full list

The charges beyond your room rate are set out in V Hotel's own FAQ, and most are optional. Here they are, as published by the hotel at the time of writing:

Item	What V Hotel says	When it applies
Early check-in	S$30	Between 7am and 11am, subject to availability
Late check-out	S$20 per hour	Between 1pm and 6pm
Very late check-out	Full day rate	After 6pm
Breakfast for children over 6	Regular adult breakfast price	If breakfast is not in your rate
Breakfast for children under 6	Free	When with a paying adult
Child under 6 without extra bedding	No extra charge	Any stay

Standard check-in is from 3pm and check-out is by 11am, so the early and late fees only matter if you need the room outside those hours.

Tax is the other line to watch. The current GST rate in Singapore is 9%, according to IRAS. Many hotels in Singapore also add a service charge, and some booking sites show a room price before taxes and charges on the first screen. The fix is simple: compare the final total on the payment page, not the headline price.

Book-direct perks. Worldwide Hotels says that when you book through its own hotel websites there is no booking fee, and it lists perks such as priority early check-in and late check-out (subject to availability) and complimentary WiFi. On the V Hotel Lavender page it also lists complimentary parking among its book-direct benefits, subject to availability.

V Hotel Lavender Singapore 2026: when to book

Your dates matter more than any code, because Singapore hotel prices move with the calendar and with big events. The hotel does not publish a price calendar, so use these general patterns:

• Busy periods cost more. Weekends, school holidays, long weekends and festive periods such as Chinese New Year usually push city hotel rates up.
• Quieter nights cost less. Sunday to Thursday nights outside those periods are usually cheaper.
• Your own dates. The price calendar on Booking.com, Agoda or Trip.com is the most reliable guide for the nights you want.

The Singapore Tourism Board also publishes monthly average hotel room rates on SingStat if you want to see how city-wide prices move through the year. These are averages across hotels, so they will not match V Hotel Lavender's own prices.

Watch the event calendar too. V Hotel Lavender sits close to the Sports Hub, and the hotel lists concerts at the National Stadium on its own page. Nights with a big show nearby can sell out early and cost more, so book those dates well ahead.

V Hotel Lavender best deals in 2026

The best V Hotel Lavender deals in 2026 usually come from the hotel's own member and advance rates, or from member prices on booking sites. Here is what Worldwide Hotels publishes at the time of writing:

• WWH Privileges. A free membership that gives up to 10% off stays, plus a birthday-month promo code that is emailed 60 days before your birthday and valid only for a stay in your birthday month.
• Advance Purchase. 10% off the Best Available Rate at participating hotels, including V Hotel Lavender. The terms say full prepayment is required, the booking is non-refundable and non-cancellable, it cannot be combined with other promotions, and blackout dates may apply.
• Other packages. The group also lists offers such as a free walking tour of Kampong Glam and a Sentosa attraction pass package. Terms change, so read the live offer page.

The trade-off with Advance Purchase is flexibility. Ten percent off is worth it only if you are sure of your dates, because you cannot cancel.

Booking.com vs Agoda for V Hotel Lavender: price comparison in 2026

Booking.com and Agoda often both list V Hotel Lavender, and neither is cheaper every time, so compare the same room on the same dates. Each site has its own member programme, and that is often where the difference comes from.

Booking.com. Its free loyalty programme is called Genius. Level 1 starts when you sign up and gives discounts at selected properties. Under the Genius rules at the time of writing, Level 2 comes after 5 completed stays within 2 years and Level 3 after 15. Many listings also offer free cancellation.

Agoda. Agoda's member status, AgodaVIP, has Silver, Gold and Platinum levels, and Agoda also shows app-only prices on selected hotels.

How to compare them fairly:

1. Sign in on both, so member prices show.
2. Pick the same room type, such as Superior Queen or Superior Twin.
3. Match breakfast and cancellation terms. A non-refundable rate is usually cheaper than a flexible one.
4. Compare the final total with GST and any charges.
5. Before you book on Booking.com or Agoda, go through ShopBack first.

Booking.com, Agoda and Trip.com for V Hotel Lavender

Trip.com is the third site worth checking, especially if you already book flights there. Trip.com Rewards is free to join and runs from Silver up to Black Diamond. Members earn Trip Coins on hotel bookings, and Trip.com says the coins can be used like cash on prepaid bookings, with 100 Trip Coins worth about S$1.28 at the time of writing.

A simple four-step check:

Step	Where	What you do
1	V Hotel's own site	Note the member or Advance Purchase price and its terms
2	Booking.com	Sign in and check the same room with Genius pricing
3	Agoda and Trip.com	Check the same room and any member price or Trip Coins
4	ShopBack Singapore	Open the page for the cheapest booking site and tap through

You can start step 4 from the Booking.com page on ShopBack, the Agoda page on ShopBack or the Trip.com page on ShopBack.

Other places Singapore residents compare hotel prices include Expedia, Hotels.com, Klook and Traveloka.

Why ShopBack is a step before you book

Plan the trip, then book through ShopBack. ShopBack is a post-purchase discount: go through it before you pay and the effective price drops. The step takes a few seconds:

1. Open the ShopBack Singapore app or website.
2. Search for the booking site you picked, such as Booking.com, Agoda or Trip.com.
3. Tap through from the ShopBack page and book V Hotel Lavender as normal.
4. Once the stay is confirmed by the site, cashback is added to your ShopBack account.

Cashback lowers what you actually pay for an order. It comes back as cash, so it works like a discount on the price, not like points or miles. You can withdraw it once it is confirmed.

On a short stay, the Cashback that comes back once the stay is confirmed lowers the effective price of the room. Check the live rate on the store's ShopBack page before you tap through, because rates and eligible booking types can differ by site.

Paying for the stay with a credit card

Your card's rewards and ShopBack usually both apply to the same hotel booking, because one comes from your bank and the other comes from going through ShopBack. Some cards exclude certain travel bookings, and some rates are paid at the hotel rather than online, which can change what counts. Check the card's terms and the merchant's terms before you pay.
