My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were quite spacious with a good view of Singapore, but noise from outside, especially from hotel staff in the staircase, was very loud. Service was excellent overall, with staff taking care of my needs, but there were some instances of carelessness. The location was fantastic, being very near to the CitySquare shopping mall and other attractions, but there was a lack of assistance with early check-in requests. The dining experience offered a wide variety of food, but it could be better with more options. The facilities were satisfactory, though some areas could use improvement.

My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The rooms weren't cleaned properly, with hair and dirt on the carpet, stains on pillowcases, and dirty cups and spoons. The fridge didn't work well, making drinks hot instead of cold. However, considering the price we paid, the hotel was somewhat worth it. Even after notifying the staff, the cleanliness didn't improve much before we checked out.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The room was beautiful, very clean, and offered a nice view of Singapore, although it only came with one pair of slippers and the coffee table by the couch wasn't wiped clean. The service was top-notch with helpful and friendly staff, although they needed a bit of guidance to follow the queue properly. The location was superb, right in the heart of the city with easy access to shopping and dining options. The dining experience had a great variety, but some dishes were overly salty. Overall, a great value for money with some minor room cleanliness issues.
