Thian Hock Keng Temple Tours

Very noisy as it is near the road. One of the window was broken and could not be close.

My biggest concern when planning my trip to the Singapore was the hotel location. Fortunately, I won the jackpot when I booked my stay at the Carlton Hotel Singapore. As soon as I entered, the lobby was bright and inviting. The staff was friendly and gladly offered to hold our luggage since we arrived before 10AM. She offered to let use the showers by the pool to freshen up which was very helpful to get our day started. Once we checked in, we were surprised at the size of the room with the king size bed. There was no squeezing or reshuffling our luggage as there was ample space to move around comfortably. From what I researched, Singapore hotel rooms were small just like other Asian hotels but our room reminded me of hotels back in the US. Another surprise was how quiet the property felt. I never heard anyone in the hallways or doors closing. The best part of the hotel was the location to the local buses and MRT stations. We utilized all public transportation and the shopping mall diagonal to the hotel where we shopped for souvenirs and quick snacks. We had a minor cleaning issue in our room which I reported to the management. Within 15 minutes, the issue was quickly resolved with the manager on duty who apologized several times with a generous accommodation. Classy. Overall, if you prefer a hotel in the heart of Singapore but without all the busy attractions and noise this hotel is the perfect stay.

Did not like anything other than the quick check in and central location.Tiny room, tiny outdated bathroom, stained carpets in the corridors, dont even bother with breakfast. It will be an ok place if you only sleep in the room.
