"Location amazing, directly connected to Raffles City, City Hall MRT - rooms were comfortable but beds not quite a double (for 4 pax). Check in doesn’t feel personalised - computer monitors all facing outwards, bit noisy - lots happening in the lobby/reception area. Not enough sitting/lounging space. Otherwise would recommend for a short city stay."

"What a lovely hotel, very opulent but staff were really friendly to everyone. It was in a very convenient location with easy access to the metro, walking options were also good. The room was excellent, very comfortable and large bed, with all mod cons. We used the cocktail bar on the 70th floor, stunning views, worth a visit. Overall would thoroughly recommend this hotel."
