Hotels near Embassy of the United States

I recently spent four nights with my family at the Mandarin Orchard and was delighted by the calibre of service and meticulous attention to detail. Nancy, our front desk receptionist started our experience delightfully. Having stayed and top hotels around the world Nancy is one of the most gracious and attentive receptionist I have had the privilege to meet. From our first contact I knew the quality of service we could expect. We stayed in two deluxe rooms in the Orchard Tower. They were meticulously clean and nicely appointed. The bathrooms have a unique feature which is a translucent print that brings light from the bedroom in during the day and is illuminated in the evening when the bathroom lights on on. The large flat screen television has a range of options for entertainment, dining and information after you move past the personalized welcome greeting. A nice touch is that it is volume limited which assures that adjacent rooms are not blasted with television sounds. A welcome consideration I wish other hotels would adopt. One of my personal criteria for a great hotel is the quality of the shower and bath and both are superb here. I love a strong shower and this was one of the best anywhere I have stayed. I chose the Mandarin Orchard primarily for its central location in the middle of Orchard Road across from Takashimaya, Ngee Ann City, Paragon and close to Somerset 313 and Somerset MRT with some of the best shopping in the world. This is a shoppers paradise but not for the faint of cash or credit! The location is enhanced by the 4 levels of shops, restaurants and boutique grocer to peruse and choose gourmet snacks and beverages. As with other top hotels dining is superb with many selections and pricey. We ate at Chatterbox for breakfast and Triple Three for the evening buffet which I most highly recommend as one of the best anywhere. Our experience was virtually flawless from check-in to check-out. Kudos for consistent excellence!

Pros. My parents and I stayed in Premium Queen with Bunk for 2 nights during 30 Dec to 1 Jan. After completed booking, I sent Yotel an email to request for high floor with nice illumination view. They arranged me the room on FL.26 with ION orchard view which had very nice illumination on the building and also the giant Pandora christmas tree. More than that, they also attached curtain on the glass wall at shower area since I told them that I had concern about its transparency. This was truly beyond my expectation! The hotel location is perfect. Only few steps from Royal Thai Embassy bus stop. (We preferred traveling by bus rather than MRT as we can see nice view of the city.) For MRT, in front of Shaw House, there are entrances/exits to underpass linking to MRT and many department stores around Orchard. Very convenient to travel around Singapore. All amenities provided in the room were pretty nice. Also, my father liked the bunk bed. It is strong enough for adult not just the kids. We all had nice sleep during 2-day staycation. Cons. As I stayed during peak season of New Year holiday, i thought the number of staffs were not enough to service the guests at Lobby. The most thing i felt bad was toilet in our room. The first night went very well. But on the second night, the water didn't drain into the pipe. So, the floor was flooded! BTW, asides from little cons, we had a great stay at Yotel. Will recommend to my friends. :)

At first I'm unsure to stay at this hotel because there's no extra bed options at agoda or their own website. You have to contact them directly after making a booking to booked the extra bed and pay them separately from you room booking. They provided a "handy phone" that you can bring everywhere in Singapore during you stay, to make local and international phone calls, browse the internet,etc The check in and out:is a breeze, just make sure you have all your occupants passports, and around 300 SGD or you CC for deposit. The room: enough room to move around for 3 adults. The beds and pillows are comfy. They provide kettle, refrigerator, flat tv, a docking station for an old ipod/iphone (should be updated to the new lightning though), 3 electrical sockets, bathrobes, and an ironing board with smoothing iron. The luggage rack is small and doesn't look sturdy enough to put our luggage on it,just open our luggage on the floor. The bathroom: is spacious. They provide bathtub and shower next to each other. There's a mounted vanity mirror and hairdryer. The amenities is standard but replaced everyday. The negatives are the see-through glass from the bathroom to the bedroom, even after we put on the blinds, we still got lights from around it, so the room is not as dark as we want it. The sound of the water drainage is a bit scary and the sink drainage is slow. The breakfast:is decent. No fancy or a huge varieties of food. The taste is ok. The varieties is almost the same everyday. Could be boring for long term staying. The housekeeping:is doing a great job at cleaning the room. Thanks a lot to the cleaning crews at the 9th floor from August 13 to 18 2015 who did a splendid job and ease our staying there. The best thing about this hotel is the location which is at the center of Orchard Road, just across Ngee Ann City, The Paragon, Mandarin Gallery. The only downside that we experience is the location of the lobby is at the 4th floor.

I used to be a regular guest at the York hotel for many years about 10 years ago so I decided to go back there for this trip and was not disappointed. The room allocated was large, well appointed, clean and functional. As I am now a spritely 76 yea old senior I usually like to stay in a hotel that has a walk in shower rather then the usual shower over the bath as climbing in and out over rather high bath walls can be potentially dangerous for me. Unforutnatley the York still has the shower over bath facility, BUT I was very pleased that they have installed hand rails both in the bath, on the walls inside the bath and shower area and on the outside wall to help seniors like me who suffer from knee issues (old football injuries) to get in and out of the shower more safely. The location of the hotel is excellent, particularly as it's walking distance to the famous Orchard Road shopping area.and the MRT so travelling around Singapore by train is now an excllent and cheap way of travelling around the city for pleasure or business. For me with my bad knees negotiating the hills leading up to the hotel from Scotts Road and along Mt, Elizabteh Road leading up fromOrchard Road did create some discomfort and may affect the more elderly guests. I did find that it took a rather long tiem to check out as the frint desk only had two staff on duty at the midday checkout time and they we also doing check-ins at the same time. I think the hotel needs to address this aspect. Nevertheless as an overall rewiew, The York is an excellent property in almost every aspect and I will certainly reurn there on a future occassion. Toroughly recommended. - Graeme Moore - Thailand

This hotel is in the best location if you want to be near Orchard Road. It was right in the middle of orchard road but slightly further back so its away from the noisy busy streets of orchard road. Right in front of the hotel is a great little side street which is open all day and all night serving fresh seafood, satay skewers, hainan chicken rice and a lot of other yummy things for a cheap price. The hotel was very clean, and our room was perfect. we were on the top floor so the room was very quiet. the hotel lobby staff were amazing also. We had the best stay there and would definately stay again.

We got 3 non-smoking rooms for a 6D-5N family holiday not knowing what was in store since this was a new hotel. It was hard looking for a hotel that was perfect for a family with kids and an infant and one which should be accessible, affordable and clean. Judging from most of the cheap hotels online it was a gamble to take this hotel since it didn't have much of feedback and most of the 3 star hotels around the area were given really horrible feedback. When we got to the hotel the lobby was clean and spacious and most importantly the staff were all smiles and friendly. But wait til we see the room since we specifically asked for non-smoking rooms. Guess what, it was bigger than expected and the tub was clean. Whew! The carpet and linen were clean, the bathrooms were spic and span and we even got hot water. Everything was in working condition and we even had a fridge and a safety deposit box. I'd say this is the best 3 star hotel I've seen so far and I'd go back there anytime.

Excellent location. Value for money. Spacious Room. Front office staff check in need to improve on service. Arrived at about 12pm and staff initially stated no room available but if want to check in immediately need to pay extra. Staff stated to come back at 1pm to check in. When returned at 1pm, staff issued a room but no late check out the next day because staff stated hotel fully booked and need to check out at 12pm. The next morning i checked Agoda online and noticed there are room available. Very bad service hospitality for refusing to accord late check out.

We actually booked 3 standard rooms at the hotel for our chinese new year night. But there's error and my credit card could not be charged for one out of 3 rooms I booked. And I got cancelled for that one room. :( . I got no other choice but to re-book. The only room they still had was split studio (and no more big discount!). I read the review and they said, the split studio is actually apartment unit and located in the other building. So you will not going to feel the hotel ambience. Oh well. By the time we check in, the hotel room were not ready. The split studio was ready. So we got in the split studio. Few hours later, the receptionist called us and said if it's ok if they upgraded our two rooms to split studio room. I was hesitated because even though the split studio is big, super clean, so homey, but they are old. I read that the renovated rooms were the rooms that located in the hotel, not the apartment. At last we accepted the offer because, somehow it will be more convenient if our rooms close next to the other. And what a relief! We are glad we accept the offer! The split studio was so comfortable. You have a lot of space, they provided you with full set of kitchen utensils. Full size refrigerator, oven, microwave. Comfortable bathroom and bathtub (even though, yes the bathroom is rather small but it's fine for us). For a mom who travelled with her 1 year old baby girl, the room is perfect. Home away from home. Lot of space for my baby girl to explore. Full kitchen set for me to prepare her food, warm milk etc. It's a pleasant pleasant stay and will surely recommend and come back. Oh and the chinese food restaurant at the hotel, we ordered an amazing roast chicken there. Must try! The seafood were also so fresh. We ate there at our first night and super happy. The next night (chinese new year night) we ordered our dinner somewhere else (a well known chinese restaurant) and so disappointed.

We stayed for 3 nights here. The location is very nice. Its 5mins walk from Dhoby Ghaut MRT station near Plaza Singapora. It has 7-11 shops available near by so u can get your break fast/snack anytime while on your way out or back to hotel. It has a neat swimming pool on roof top accessible by lift 1 only with an outstanding view of the vicinity. Recommend a panoramic photo from there. Hotel has two entrances, the other one opens towards the main Orchard Road, where you can find a number of malls like Orchard Point, Orchard Central, Ngee Ann city center, 313 Somerset, Apple Store. This road has multiple bus stops. Get yourself a 3-days Singapore Tourist Pass for unlimited trips to MRT & Public busses. Both have a/c so thats a relieve in 35C temp during the day. The hotel has a Tour Desk where as i suggest using Klook app to book at activities ranging from Universal Studio, Sentosa fun pass, Zoo, Night Safari, Gardens by the bay, bird sanctuary etc. This way you will not need to stand in ticket lines. Just book and show the online receipt to the gate keepers who will let you in :) do visit asian museum on Raffles stop, Fullerton road for Merlion. Good quality shopping is available at Bugis Junction (Bugis stop via MRT and exit towards Bugis Junction). Do not goto Little India, its very dirty and a mall there with the name of Al Mustafa Center (although cheap) but has terrible / poor quality products. You will be disappointed. Visit East Coast bay near Marina bays for a quite beach spot. Good for camping. On your way out to Airport, book a taxi via Grab Ap and it will cost you a max of $17 SGD till terminal 4 airport. Upon arrival, get a $15 SGD sim from Klook app It will give you 100GB worth 4G internet And free calls to last you easily 8-10 days even. Pick up point at Cheers store on level 2. Use mini bus to reach your hotel. It will cost you $SGD 9 per person with a travel time of 25-30mins. Booking stand is location at last level. They charge credit card and d

its a wonderful hotel and highly recommended for families with kids. centrally located and very convenient to orchard road through the link bridge to paragon shopping centre. super easy to access through the pool area on the 4th floor. estimated 1-2mins walk time to paragon through covered walkway, so no worries abt rain or kids crossing the road. super easy to maneuvre with kids tagging. we stayed in a 1 bedroom unit, super spacious with good kitchenette facilities, washing machine, dishwasher, cooker and 2 tv. wifi was superb, very strong reception and we connected the wifi to 4 smartphones with no disruption. good water pressure for the showers. all in all... a highly recommended location in orchard for families who are looking for extra space.

Had a weekend stay and was pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness of the hotel and the room. Internet coverage and access was good and food in their mezza9 restaurant was of superb quality and taste! Hotel is located just outside of the main Orchard Road area making it less crowded and noisy. It took less than 5 mins to walk to the beginning of the Orchard Road belt where all the shopping centres and boutiques are located. Staff were friendly and warm upon check in and check out. They genuinely made me feel welcome. Truly a 5 star hotel as they claim it to be!

Our 4 nights stay with Orchard Hotel was great. We stayed at 2x Superior rooms as our boys stayed on the other room. The rooms were very clean and the beds were really cozy and comfortable to sleep in. The cleaner as we requested cleaned our rooms almost everyday. When we arrived the friendly Filipina staff, Mel checked us in and we requested that our 2 rooms be right next to each other. We got the requested rooms thanks to Mel. The following day I inquired with the Hotel's tour desk and we booked for our Sentosa, Night Safari and the Cheng Ho Dinner Cruise. On the times that we were not joining the local tours, we've been walking from our hotel down to Orchard Road. We basically entered most of the buildings and had been in and out of all the boutiques and high end shops. Gosh!!!! My leg hurts but it was a good excercise. During weekends we could see lot of Filipinos around Orchard Road. We tried taking the MRT experience going to Clark Quay to eat a crabby lunch at Jumbo Restaurant and then after a big meal we walked to Chinatown. The hotel's location was great. We just have to walk towards the road to start our trail going down to Orchard Road. On our last day we tried having lunch at the 2nd level Chinese Rest. They have a good selection of food there. Yum-cha's good too. Downstairs at the Cafe they have a very nice buffet lunch and dinner. I just looked on the food selections and they were nice too. We didn't try it, next time we will. Our overall experience with Orchard Hotel was an A plus. We will recommend to our family and friends to stay there when they visit Singapore. We like Singapore. It is so clean and quiet and feels so safe to travel around and very similar to our experience at Orchard Hotel. SEE YOU NEXT TIME IN ORCHARD HOTEL. All the best to all of you guys.

As an academic I am in Singapore for 2-3 days perhaps 4-5 times annually. Singapore is generally expensive, but there are three places I would think to stay as what I would call acceptable Singapore budget hotels. The RELC is probably my favorite, based upon location near the upper end of Orchard Road. The only thing I would really criticize there is the breakfast. Skip it in favor of Starbucks or McDonalds 300 meters away on Orchard Road. The facilities are limited to what I would call Asian three star standard, but you can go next door to the Shangrila if you need a nice upscale meeting place, etc. (burgers at the top-floor Shangrila Blu Bar are tastiest in Singapore in my opinion, if expensive). My second most favorite is the Ft Canning Lodge, a YWCA affiliate closer to the Clarke Quay and Parliament neighborhood. The breakfast is acceptable there, but the laundromat facilities are not as good as RELC. My third most favorite, a step down and which I typically only book if RELC or the Ft Canning Lodge are unavailable, are a couple of backpackers' hostels on Hong Kong Street, which have a few private rooms with shared bathroom facilities. If cost is a concern the hostel rooms are cheaper, but the trade off is that the bathroom facilities are shared (and the laundromat facilities are also below RELC or the Ft Canning Lodge). Hong Kong Street is well placed close to Boat Quay and the Parliament areas. I think there are two of the different chain hostels on Hong Kong Street, running under different names, but both have a few private rooms.

My second time staying in Novotel. New hotel, near Orchard road, but away from the bustling of Orchard crowd. A few not so positive things to note : 1. I didn’t not request for an extra bed, but when I got to my room, there was an extra bed inside. I had booked the room for one pax only. 2. For a relatively new hotel, the drainage system is not very well maintained, shower room floods every time i used it 3. Lacking basic toiletries in shower cap, soap dish. 4. Aircon system of Food Exchange not maintained. Water dripping from ceiling, and heavy water marks can be seen around the aircon vent. 5. The hotel could have provided more information on shuttle bus service from T Galleria back to hotel, give the location of the pick up point at T Galleria. Other than that, it’s a cosy place, friendly staff, clean environment.

I am a frequent traveller to Singapore but this is the first time I stayed in this hotel. Although the room size is not too big, it is just nice. The size of the room is bigger than expected. I still have enough space to put my luggage. The room looks exactly the same as the photos published in agoda. I have to compliment all the staff in this hotel including the staff at the receiption, breakfast area and Housekeeping. The staff are very helpful, friendly and I could see their good team cooperation. Keep it up! Although the variety of food served at the breakfast area is not a lot, the quality of the food is good. I love their coffee and hot chocolate machine. Due to the limited space at the breakfast area, Their breakfast time is extended to 11am. I will book this hotel again if the price is reasonable for the size of the room.

It was my first time travelling out of country so I made sure I'd get the best hotel with cheaper price, and so I decided to book with Agoda. Checking in was fast. I spent not longer than 5 minutes and we were good to go in to our room. Check in should be at 2pm but we were made to check in an hour earlier since the room was ready when we got there. The hotel us quite far from famous tourist attractions but there is a bus stop just across the hotel in front of Raffles Girls School. Also, you can take taxi just in front of the hotel entrance, or take a Grab ride. Rooms were quite small but really clean. If you are a tourist and you spend most of your time outside, you wouldn't really mind the room size. I had a great time staying there. If I go back to Singapore, I would choose to stay here again.

Though it was only a 1 night stay, I was extremely satisfied with my stay. When I reached the reception, there was no staff available to me immediately but they kept advising me to take my seat while assuring that they will attend to me shortly and true enough, it wasn't a long wait. Upon check in, I was personally shown to my room by the same receptionist and introduced to all the different functionalities of the gadgets within the room as well as an overall introduction of the swimming pool/gym facilities and its opening hours etc. During my booking, I had informed them that it was my anniversary and that I would like to request for early check in to decorate the room before my partner comes. They tried their best with the request and I was granted an early check in! Knowing that I was going to be driving in and out to execute the surprise, she provided me with spare parking coupons so I would not have to keep going back to reception to ask for it. Also, our room was decorated with a pair of love swan towels and a complimentary cake in courtesy of HFC for our anniversary. After the introduction, the staff even reminded me of the complimentary evening drinks that came together with my booking and where it was taking place. On the day of checkout, I tried my luck to see if I could get a late checkout so we could spend more time there. Again, my request was granted. Overall I must say I'm really satisfied with the sincerity and hospitality of all the hotel staff there. They are a fine example of excellent customer service and I will definitely come back for another stay. I also love the colonial touch of the building amidst all that greenery and I specially love the scent at the hotel lobby. If possible, I hope to know the concoction of that scent. Thank you HFC for making my anniversary such a perfect and memorable one. I will be back again!

happy to stay in singapore marriott hotel at ochard road. always stay at this best location hotel if i travel to singapore. i always recommended this marriott hotel to my friends. really good location for shopping and dining. pub is just around the corner. supermarket just at the basement. atm machines just in front of the hotel main entrance. taxi stand just in front of the main entrance and always priority for hotel guest. everything provided in this hotel, free wifi only available at hotel lobby but not in the room. but recent stay, they started to provide free wifi for hotel guest, unlike last time need to pay for it. really convenience for people like me, lazy to walk and everything you need it you can get it immediately. staffs are friendly and always with greetings and smiles (^~^) hotel food always slurrrrrrppppppsssss~ yummy~ of course will stay there again for my next singapore trip. keep it up!

when we booked in complimentary breakfast was given for the period of my stay, even though it was not included when i booked the room, also received free internet daily which i had no problems with. the room they gave us was two down from the pool on the top floor of the hotel which was great as my child spent a lot of time at the pool. excellent location, markets outside the hotel and a few minutes walk away from orchard road. loved the special touches in the room such as ipod docking station, lindt chocolates left by bed each night, turn down service in the evening, free safe in the room, free movie channel and selection of different pillows. rooms were very spacious and beds were comfortable. staff were very friendly not like other singapore hotels. i would return to this hotel again.

when we arrived at shangri-la we weren't really expecting anything too over the top as we had not heard much about the hotel or hotel chain before. the check-in service was fast and very smooth. we went to find the room but had a little trouble, so we asked one of the staff if he could help. he took us to our door and made sure everything was ok and if we needed anything. it was only after calling the reception to ask about the horizon club benifits and the location of the club lounge, that we found out our room was upgraded to valley wing deluxe. from the point we were made feel so special by the staff in the valley wing. the complimentary breakfast, the hor dourves and beverages are amazing. valley wing at shangri-la serve the best singapore sling, much better than any others i have tried. the rooms are very comfortable nice big bed, electronic everything, high-tech entertainment system, mood lighting and very clean. shangri-la has definatly taken the crown for best hotel in singapore in my books and that is out of alot of heavy hitting luxury hotels.

The location is the main part of my review. The locations is a bit far from the central orchard (takasimaya, paragon, etc) require about 3-5 minute walk via underpass to there. A bit far from me because the last time i stay in mandarin orchard (this hotel is centrally located). I think the room is a bit small compare to other hotel that i've been stayed in singapore. Other than that the service and staff are hilton standard, whiches a good one. One of the restaurant at the hotel are claimed one of the 50th best restaurant in the world by the brochure in the hotel. Oh by the way it doesn't have free wi-fi whiches disappointing and one time i take a shower the water heater is not working like it supposed to do (only slightly warm compare from the other time i used the shower)

Everything at The St Regis Singapore is perfect! It was a good breezy walk to the hotel from the Orchard MRT. It started off with wonderful receptionist (chinese male, wear specs) who gave us free upgrade to a twin room at a higher level! =) Not only that, there was complimentary fruit platter and birthday cake for all of us! =) The beds are comfortable and the TV has many channels. And there is a pillow menu. Their body pillow is amazingly comfortable! :) Please get them! But limited numbers. Only issue is their DVD library isn't that complete and the popular animation ones are usually snapped up fast. So either bring your own, or chope them quick. Wilbur, our personal butler, was all smiles when introducing the room stuffs to us. 6pm everyday, there is an art tour. The senior butler Prasad is quite interesting and very unassuming. His knowledge is good and he is very nice to help us take pictures. We had dinner at Brasserie Les Saveurs, taking their Semi-buffet dinner. Their Prime Rib is MAGNIFICENT! And if you are not a fan of medium rare, they can recook abit more for you as well. Wonderful service! Their semi buffet spread is really good!!!!!! Just try it urself! Breakfast spread is one of the best I have ever seen. And they have a special order menu for lobster omelette. Don't leave it out! Of course with their wonderful service, they extended checkout time to 2pm for us. All in all, nothing to complain, a MUST STAY!

We are locals and decided to take a 3 night getaway, attending a wedding dinner at the hotel on the 2nd night. We drove in on a Friday 30th Sept 2011 and checked out on Monday 3rd Oct - no problem getting complimentary parking coupons from the Concierge. Our request for a non-smoking quiet room on a higher floor was granted without fuss (1018). The room was decorated with warm colours and toiletries were "L'Occitane" products. This package came with an upgrade to the Deluxe room. We were very comfortable relaxing in the room which came with a study table and large screen TV, good supply of tea bags. A big bonus was the free internet service with came with the package. Bed was great for sleeping - nice big pillows. Its a good idea to give Housekeeping a call to make up the room when you go for breakfast. They attended to that efficiently. One thing that stood out for us at the Regent was the friendliness of the staff. A far cry from a 6 Star hotel down the road which is often cold and impersonal. So the smiles and pleasant service at The Regent truly made us very welcome. - The efficiency of the breakfast staff in clearing the plates on our table was very good. Staff Lin Chang stood out in this area - very sharp and quick. The breakfast spread served the best French Toast we have ever tasted (but it rotates with waffles & pancake on diff days - the french toast was served on Sat). Unfortunately our request for the French Toast the next day could not be met. Also the baked bacon (tad salty but tender) and honey ham was very nicely done. They served japanese rice & miso soup - but it was rather strange and didnt make sense for many of the condiments and pickles to be placed at another station near the fruits. Most of us wouldnt know there were other condiments for the rice. The Regent has managed to create a warm and welcoming ambience for us - most refreshing compared to many other hotels here. Most definitely recommend this hotel.

My boyfriend and I had a relaxing stay at Lloyd's Inn for 1 night. The hotel was near many big shopping centres and eating places (there's a 24-hour Indian cafe/restaurant on the same street), yet is quiet enough for us to enjoy some private time. We love the outdoor bathtub the most, it was the highlight of our stay. We were lucky to get the skyroom on Agoda, because it was stated as sold out on the hotel's page. We had a peek into the Reading room on our way to our room, and it seemed pretty small though sufficient enough for a party of 2. So, we made the best out of the room we got - that means spending lots of time outside in the tub. The staff was friendly and most of them are locals, from the receptionist to the cleaning aunties. :) Few gripes we had was there wasn't a flask in the room (my boyfriend searched the drawers), and there was only a curtain to separate the outdoor area and the toilet. A sliding door would have been nice. When it rained at night, it was quite loud and gave me quite a good scare - but thats just me. Other than that, we also thought the price was tad steep for 1 night even though it was a promotional price, as the pool was not big enough for swimming and there was no cafe in the hotel (but to be fair they gave us breakfast vouchers). Other than that - pretty lovely place for local/overseas guests. One tip is to be sure to book a room that you would enjoy - for us it was the outdoor tub for it meant we could bask in the sun in our own backyard.

The staff were THE MOST ACCOMMODATING OF ALL (special kuddos to ZOE on this) comparied with 15-20 other hotels we previously stayed at all over the world. The breakfast buffet had a lot of variety despite not being very grand. The food tasted great and they changed their menu every single day of our 8-day stay! The attention to detail was impeccable-- I'm talking about individual AIR IONIZERS AND PURIFIERS in each unit, a VERY complete kitchen (eg kitchen scissors, wine glasses, dish cloth, large REF / FREEZER space, large OVEN, ESPRESSO MACHINE, etc. apart from the usual amenities like a microwave, utensils/plates/pots), WASHER/DRYER, UMBRELLA, I-POD DOCK, MULTIPLE CHARGERS FOR DIFF GADGETS, in-room safe, ironing board/iron, in-room vacuum cleaner, a large rain shower, LOTS of storage space, unlimited DVDs for FREE, unlimited local calls, and very easy access to cabs (which Guest Services does for you). Safety was also well-addressed as the entrance is always locked and can only be accessed from the outside by registered guests. Even the lighting was well-thought of as some have dimmers and all electrical outlets had individual off switches and had various configurations for different kinds of plugs. The kids play area was quite small but seemed to satisfy my kids and is right beside the kids' pool, and the adult pool was large and very clean. In all, we were very pleased and will definitely come back!

My son loved it so much coz he said it has three big beds..very big space to run around the room and a very nice shower room. We loved our free breakfast buffet..the food was great..they have many choices of food..from bread to cereal to rice.. The best of all, we experienced here the best customer service especially from their manager on duty last september 15..she really helped us recover our stroller and bag left inside the trunk of the taxi..she made all the follow ups and calls to the taxi company.. If i will be back in Singapore, i will still stay here at The Metropolitan Y. :-)

Our stay at Fort Canning Lodge was outstanding, we rented the family rooms excluding breakfast, we were satisfied with the space of the room, the cleanliness, the location of the Hotel and the staff's services. The hotel would be a perfect place to stay for young and older people. Singapore is best known with the tiny space of Hotel Rooms for the 4 star below rate hotel, but Fort Canning Lodge makes a different, for a 4 star Hotel, it has big space in the guest rooms which allow people to enjoy their stay whenever they are inside their rooms. Our family will definitely stay in Fort Canning Lodge next time we visit Singapore again. Over all Fort Canning Lodge is a great Hotel to choose.

I visit Singapore every year, and I often spend at least a couple of nights at the Parade. The hotel is a solid 4 star hotels. Good service, good rooms, and a very inviting pool. In places as hot as Singapore, knowing that there is a nice pool waiting for you after a long day of walking/shopping/sightseeing is always a plus. The superior (standard) rooms are a hit/miss. Some of them are dark, specially the ones below the 8th floor. The executive rooms are a bit more expensive, but very bright and elegant. The best thing about the hotel is the location. It is right at the junction of Orchard Rd and Taglin Rd. This is the most expensive area of the city, with great houses, embassies, streets lined with century-old trees, and the beautiful Botanic Garden near by. And all of Orchard Road best shops and malls read to take your cash.
