Small rooms and not so great location
4.7
Not so great location. Far from MRT, although the hotel offers shuttle bus to the Outram Park MRT. Small rooms and small bathrooms. For the price, one would expect a slightly better setup to make up for its cons i.e. location etc.

Great view and good service
close to nature, next to nice garden
7
My wife and I stayed for 4 night, we love the view of the garden and actually spent 2 morning walking in the park. Fresh air and great panaromic view of the city from the hill top!
Hotel room is small and may need some maintenance (part of wallpaper are peeled/scratched) but well equip with all amenities you will need, including minibar and complimentary snack basket.
We managed to vist the tiny gym with only 2 machines, space in there very limited which probably can only accomodate 3 persons.
Location is good with many food stalls nearby (7-8min walks). it is very close to China town.
Hotel staffs are very friendly, they always wear smiles and greet you, they really make feel welcome.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip:
Take the hotel free-shuttle to Outram MRT station.
Harbour Front MRT station is just 1 station away from Outram station, you can spend a great shopping day at Vivo city and walk over to Sentosa ($1 enrty fee) in the evening, you will experience nice sunset and nice breeze
Also China town is within walking distance from Outram!

Quirky boutique hotel, eye-searing colours
Price, coolness, sense of fun
7.7
Slightly set on its own in the middle of a park area, but still only 5 mins walk to the nearest MRT station, or 10 mins to the river & Boat Quay / across to Clark Quay
Very much styles around 1970s bright colours & kitsch. A lot of fun to stay in.
Surprisingly cheap unless it's taken over by a wedding party - I guess most business travellers don't want to stay somewhere lime green or candy pink.
I'll probably return next time I'm in SG
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip:
The viewing platform at the top of the Duxton Towers is cheap & often empty

Budget hotel
Quiet room with free internet
6.3
It's a new hotel with small size room, like the Ibis hotel if you know what I mean. I liked the free internet and breakfast buffet, but that's all for this budget hotel. Smoking is strictly not allowed with heavy penalty, and the window is locked so forget about smoking in the rooom.

Great rate but poor location, dated property
4
This is well and truly a budget hotel so don't expect anything other than that - the location is not that convenient but they have a shuttle bus to the metro and since the hotel is located by itself up a drive it not that easy to get a taxi or walk down in the heat to hail one from the road. I found the buffet dreadful and poor value - a la carte ok and reasonable value. The hotel is used a lot by the shipping industry for their crew overnighting which gives the place rough atmosphere to it.
When I factor in the cost of food and taxi fare getting to the places I needed to go to I would have been better off with a more convenient hotel

Clean and retro, free wifi, shuttle service.

Small room, high price. Fortunately it's clean. Nice spot near Clarke Quay and top of hill.
Nightlife Tip:
Near Clarke Quay and convenient to Chinatown.

Quirky Colors and Interiors

It was a bit strange in theme to use neon pink as a predominant color for the interiors, and took quite getting used to, but over all, it was ok. The staff is also very helpful, and despite the fact that it is a bit hidden from the roadway, taxi access and availability is consistently easy. Even if they were having functions and there were a lot of guests, there was still ample parking space, and it was still convenient.
