Tourist Shocked to Find Singapore Hotel Next to Funeral Home

A Taiwanese tourist named Shannon raised concerns after discovering that the hotel she booked in Singapore, Arton Boutique Hotel, was located next to a funeral parlour, Singapore Casket. Shannon had reserved a three-night stay from July 3 to 6 for $637. She was surprised that this information was not disclosed on the booking platform or the hotel's website. Despite her attempts to cancel the reservation and obtain a refund, both the hotel and the platform refused citing a non-refundable policy. Shannon expressed her discomfort and concern, especially for her young daughters, about staying next to a funeral home. The incident has shaken her confidence in Singapore's hospitality sector and highlighted the importance of transparency and disclosure by accommodation providers. Shannon has since found alternative accommodation but remains disappointed that her daughters' first visit to Singapore has been overshadowed by this experience.
