The hotel is centrally located, as it is very near to the Orchard District, the most attractive shopping area in Singapore. This relatively less expensive hotel certainly offers value for money, as this means that the boarders can have the luxury of enjoying the facilities of the Orchard Road without actually spending that hefty sum of money the Orchard Road Hotels demands from their boarders. The wonderful Fort Canning Park is adjacent to the hotel, and could be an attractive place to visit for nature lovers. The Singapore Museum is also nearby.
Best thing of the hotel is that it is a relatively cheap (in terms of money) hotel located at the heart of shopping attractions (Orchard Road)in Singapore. So it offers value for money. Rooms are not very big, but OK for a short stay.
The main weakness of the hotel is its staff at the reception. They could not offer me good directions to places I would like to visit. Receptionists at hotels should have a very good sense of the town, and be able to communicate that to tourists/boarders.
- Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : For nature lovers, the Fort Canning Park will be a wonderful place to visit.

I had a two day stop off with a 9 yr old child. Hotel worked well. Pool was great, restaurant offered simple wholesome food (local style was best) with great fruit. Room was comfortable enough and clean with all necessary things (eg hair dryer, phone). Central location was great with easy access to the MRT a major bonus. Staff were very helpful despite being busy with reception duties. Came back for a final day after a few days in Malaysia and was happy to return here. Internet access was the only annoying thing.
central, easy to access MRT. Comfortable room, restaurant OK, staff very helpful.
email access prepaid system that logged me off at time even though I had more to do.
- Shopping Tip : only one stop to little India which has great food and some good buys.

It is close to the center of town and you can walk just about everywhere you like to go for shopping or to the restaurants. The rooms are ok and spacious. Overall all good for the price and I might return to this hotel. It suits for you if you travel for shopping in center of the city.
Good location for shopping and hang out in orchard road! MRT just 5 minutes walk from hotel!
The staff is not really friendly and just feel that they don't really care about the guest.
