Staying at this hotel was a delightful experience. The eclectic decor in the rooms provided a unique and interesting atmosphere. The distance between rooms can be a downside, especially after early requests and multiple automated responses. However, the value for money is excellent, especially with access to the club lounge and the welcoming happy hour hosted by the fantastic staff like Mandy & Jasmine.

I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel. While the rooms were a bit far apart from each other, they were clean and very functional, with a modern touch and exceptionally clean. The service was excellent and helpful overall, but there was a slight hiccup with a rude response from staff regarding a specific request. The location, though strategic, was slightly marred by a breakfast issue, but being right next to Tanglin Mall offered plenty of food options. The dining experience was very good, offering diverse options, although the famous buffets were too busy to try. The facilities were up to standard and provided everything I needed.

I felt comfortable and at home at the hotel. The rooms were spacious and quiet, though a little compact, they were sufficient with all functionalities. The service was accommodating with requests and very friendly. The location, while not central in Orchard Road, was fantastic being just a 10-15 minute walk to Orchard Road and surprisingly quiet. The dining experience was wonderful with a lot of variety to choose from, especially the breakfast selections. Overall, a decent value for the money.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms, although clean, had some existing hairs which was a downside. There was a power outage during my stay from 3 am to 4 am, which was inconvenient. The service was really nice and helpful, but there were issues with traffic due to the hotel's outdated car park design. The location was good but needed refurbishment. Overall, it was an okay stay with some ups and downs.

Despite an advance request for early check-in and the very early arrival, the hotel was very spacious for our family, nice and clean, and allows me to use either the club or the lobby restaurant for breakfast. The staff, from check-in to check-out, sweats yet continue to put on a smile, were all excellent and looked after us exceptionally well, and are extremely polite and helpful, accommodating my early check-in request. It's right by a MRT/subway station as well as a mall with restaurants and shops, making it easy to move around. The dining experience, after 9 am, was tasty with a good variety from all over the globe, suggesting exploring Singapore for dinner.

The hotel rooms were nicely designed and very quiet but seemed a bit small for the cost I paid. The service was very helpful and accommodating, although some lacked professional hospitality etiquette.

The dining experience was very nice with Asian and western food, yet could use more variety for longer stays.

On my recent stay at the hotel, I found the rooms to be very comfortable, with a good work space and closet, although there was a musty smell on the last few occasions. The staff door near my room being slammed every 10 minutes was a bit disruptive. However, the triple bed room provided was a nice touch.
