Reviews
Location is good MRT station (L2 and L4) is very closed.
Facilities: Most basic amenities are provided, except for toothpaste, toothbrushes, and slippers. Bottled water was given on the first day of check-in.
Hygiene: Okay.
Environment: A bit noisy, not quiet enough.
Service: You can leave your key at the front desk for safekeeping every time you go out, which is convenient.
The room was clean, the location is convenient with many restaurants nearby, and the service was excellent and impressive.
Check-out at 12:00 noon is very considerate.
The breakfast was also great.
But, I was in the newly renovated room on the 8th floor did not have bathrobes or slippers.
This is not acceptable for a 4-star+ hotel.
Hope this can be improved.
Nice view from the terrace.
Pillows are comfortable.
However, the hairdryer's power is very weak.
What a pity as location and staff are amazing. Our one bedroom is also good size for a family of 3. They had technician checked and cleaned the filters, we opened windows in the bedroom and living room (no use) Room was still hot, they end up providing 2 not-too-strong fans and managed to add circulation to the rooms. Our toddler couldn’t fall asleep until 11pm and we couldn’t stop sweating. It was a very difficult and long night for us especially after a full day of walking and an early flight to catch next day. I want to emphasize the staff are amazing throughout, this is entirely the hotel’s facility problem.
At check out another hotel guest came over and shared her room had no AC and circulation she could not sleep the whole night as well. Looking at google reviews it’s obvious this was not a “one off” incident apparently it’s been an ongoing issue dated even 5 yrs ago.
We brought a baby monitor and you can see the temp on the little screen.
If not because of this problem we will definitely return and recommend but unfortunately hotel failed to fix this ongoing issue nor did they notify guests beforehand.
We booked for three nights, and from the second night onwards, the room next door unexpectedly started undergoing maintenance, producing noise as shown in the video, making it difficult to rest! Although the hotel did move us to a different floor for the third night upon our request, they didn't offer any apology or compensation.
Overall, it's a hotel worth staying at if there's no noise. A bit disappointed.
