• Great location & easy to find.

“Great location, close to transport not overly expensive. Only negative is that they had only a room with 2 single beds. Apart from that I had a great time & the staff was very helpful with the ideas of places I could visit.”

• Very convenient to Arab and India streets and the MRT - a good value.
• The hotel recommended airport van but came late - driver overslept!

“A very interesting location. The hotel is located in the Arab Street Area of Singapore and is very near Buguis Street and it's associated MRT stop. The MRT enables you to conveniently travel to the Orchard Street shopping area, as well as, other parts of this clean and well planned Far-east City State. The staff was very helpful in accommodating our two teenagers in what are basically moderate to slightly small size rooms. We finally were able to obtain a king size bed and paid extra for a cot. If you plan to squeeze more than 2 people into a room, they will most likely provide you two single beds or if you are real lucky, 1 king bed. The only real negative was that the hotel recommended Airport Van Service - needed if you have lots of luggage and don't rent 2 cabs - ended up showing up late for a 4 AM pickup, despite the extra charge - The driver ended up sleeping late, so we got a rocket ride to the airport that left little time to spare! There is also a small mall attached to the hotel, albeit not fancy like many other Singapore Malls, it is convenient and will meet many of your needs unless you are looking for a high end Hermes, Cartier type brand store, which are the norm on Orchard. Overall, a very nice hotel in an interesting area filled with small shops and ethnic eating establishments. Recommended if you don't need the immediate glitz of Orchard with its associated high prices!”

• I liked the location, both for transportation as well as sightseeing.
• At check in time the front desk staff was not as friendly as I encountered in other hotels during my trip.

“I would recommend this hotel to friends. Should I travel to there again I would stay at the Golden Landmark Hotel.”

• Free full breakfasts, good food, generally quiet, close to MRT.
• Slow elevators, pricey WiFi, occasionally hard to get a taxi.

“This hotel is a very good deal-it's been refurbished recently (September-December 2007), we got free full breakfasts (breakfast buffet including bacon, eggs, toast, omelet station, a few Indian and Chinese dishes, etc.). Our room had a nice view out towards the harbor. The room was a little small (nothing unreasonable), but quite comfortable. Some rooms have safes; all include a minibar that has enough space to store a few other things in the fridge. There's an exercise room as well as a coin-operated washer and dryer. The Raffles Hospital is next door, which is handy for any medical issues. It is across the street from a mosque, but you can't hear the calls to prayer from the rooms-only if you're outside on the street at the time.”

• Cleanliness, view, spaciousness of room, good service.
• Lobby and drop off area were a bit small and became crowded.

“I would recommend it to anyone who wants fine accommodations at a reasonable price.”

• Excellent interior design w/1st 3 stories open, fountain, plants, a 5th floor pool; great views. Interesting area.
• Understaffed. Always experienced long reception lines. Staff not really customer friendly.

“A well located hotel, surrounded by parks, shopping & a colorful Arab district. The interior of the hotel is very appealing with the 1st 3 stories, the sound of fountains, and a beautiful pool on the 5th floor. Rooms located above 10th floor have fabulous views of Singapore.”

• Pool amenities great, king bed great.
• Could have included more channels i.e. discovery, comedy.

“Great place to stay, close to mrt, pricing would be better if final price is displayed inc gst.”

• Great location, older hotel but clean and well maintained.
• Pool is in bad location, no sunshine actually hits the water, breakfast leaves allot to be desired.

“The staff was very helpful the room clean and the location is fantastic. only a few subway stations in any direction to many locations. also walking distance to Buggies Market and Arab street. pool area nice but the actual pool receives very little direct sunshine. the breakfast buffet for the price is not worth it. eat there only if you can get B.F incl.”

• The rooms were clean and fairly nice. The staff was friendly and helpful. All of the basic needs were met.
• The air conditioning is on all of the time when you are not there so it is cold in the room when you get back. The hotel is just over all a bit dated.

“Its an ok hotel and I have never stayed in another hotel in Asia so I dont really have anything to compare it to except American hotels. The rooms are clean and elegantly furnished. The room size is adequate and the bathroom is also fine and clean and everything in good order. It has all of the basics you would expect for a lower priced but descent hotel. The furniture and carpets are older. The hotel has a feeling of being a bit older and forgotten about. There is nothing special or extra about it. It is in a good location, within short walking distance to malls an MRT, is right next to Arab street and what we call a flea market. It is right in the city and one can walk to almost anything if they dont mind walking several blocks. There is lots to see nearby. My biggest complaint was that the rooms were very cold from air conditioning. The air conditioning is on full blast all day when you are out. I realized later that you can leave a key in the light switch in the room, the room keys turn them on and the air conditioning will stay on the setting you put it on. But I didn't realize that until the last day. Also you would have to leave a room key which might not be convenient for some.”
