"Property seemed a little tired. Shower head and lack of hot water was an issue, but was fixed promptly when we brought it to thier attention. Lighting in the room insufficient, especially for older people with poorer eye sight. Also, it was the 1st hotel in our 4 weeks of travel not to have a TV guide facility."
"We’ve stayed in a number of hotels In Singapore and this is up with the best. It’s classic, but loads of style, all of which has been modernised to a high standard. The location, staff, and breakfast are excellent. I also feel it’s very good value for money. Will stay here again."
"Very good breakfast, many options. The hotel is close to MRT, which makes accessibly the trip. Also very close to Katong and Joo Chiat Road . Very happy with the trip."
"The room I was clean but didn't feel like it. Walls thins, paint peeling, smell of mold. Furthermore, the t.v. wouldn't connect. Checked out as soon as I checked in."
"Initial check in via the Club lobby lounge on the ground floor was excellent. All downhill from there. We booked a Club room having stayed here last prior to the renovations.
Since then the room itself is vastly improved. But service was abysmal. Over 50 minutes for bags to be delivered in spite of multiple calls. Calls for milk etc went on hold for over 16 minutes. Room service essentially doesn't exist and I'd suggest the hotel is massively understaffed to save $$..
The Club is a cacophony of kitchen and bar staff yelling, horrible food, glacial service, minuscule wine pours necessitating endless requests for a refill. It felt like a 3 star cruise ship lounge, complete with distressed staff.
Avoid the Club.
The best part of the stay was Plume, where we had to retreat to get a decent bar, edible food and gracious service. Having paid for a Club room it was incredibly disappointing that we had to spend $200 in Plume for a few glasses of wine and food 🙃.
No one on check out offered any attempts at recovery. Hotel is full of groups, airline crews.
In summary there are so many issues and so many better options in Singapore 🇸🇬"
