Positive Reviews
positive:
Loving the Location
Top of many reviewer's reasons to return is the hotel's location. The MRT is a stone's throw away, while nearby Holland Village is a haven of happening bars. Also in the vicinity is ‘The Greenway', a circuit that is a huge hit with walkers, joggers and cyclists.
positive:
Problem-Solving Personnel
Guests with issues appreciate the solution-orientated staff. Loud room? They'll move you somewhere quieter. Broken light? Fixed immediately. A mix-up with the booking? Sorted there and then. In the unlikely event of any hiccups during your stay, you'll delight in how the wonderful workforce addresses them.
positive:
Sumptuous Suites
Guests staying for longer than a night highly recommend upgrading to a suite. While some standard rooms are a little on the small side, suites are spacious and excellently appointed. With separate living area and kitchenette (including microwave and washing machine), the extra comfort is worth the cost.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Cramped Conditions
Very occasionally, guests express mild disappointment
at the size of their accommodations. Individual travellers are less effected, but
couples and families can find guestrooms a little on the cramped side. The
issue is exacerbated in some rooms by design that doesn't make the most of the space
available.
negative:
Wi-Fi Worries
From bombproof to broken, wavering reports regarding Wi-Fi suggests it isn't the most reliable service. While some reviews attest to its excellence, others claim connections are frequently lost. More cynical reviewers believe the sketchy service is tolerated in order to encourage guests to purchase the premium connection.
negative:
Borderline Breakfast
A notable number of guests express disappointment at the breakfast buffet, claiming that choices are limited, ingredients are sub-standard and offerings are not regularly replenished. It is also costly, and the area in which it is served is regularly bemoaned as small and cramped.
