This hotel offers a unique experience that's a bit of an escape from the usual Singaporean environment, even though it's still within the city. The Marina View room boasts stunning views of yachts, but I particularly enjoyed my Hillview room setup.
It lacks a balcony but features a separate tub and shower, so there is no need to stand in the tub while showering.
The TV in the tub area is a nice touch, though it was a bit pixelated—likely due to older technology. Fortunately, it wasn’t a big issue, as I could comfortably watch TV from the living room area while soaking in the tub.
The tub area features an opening that allows natural light to stream in, making it extra pleasant to relax and soak in the tub.
Shower room was spotless and free of any mold depsite its heavily mosai-ed decor.
It would be a great addition if the hotel provided bidets for the toilets.
The bathroom is impressively spacious with ample storage, and the bed is comfortable, with firm and generously sized pillows.
The smart TV, however, had some connectivity issues, possibly due to signal interference from other rooms.
The in-room fridge could use some maintenance to chill drinks more effectively and maybe colder temperature to be able to store ice cream.
The hotel ambiance is generally quiet, though the Hillview room can occasionally hear noise from garbage bins and glass bottle cleaning at wee hour. This might be a minor disturbance for light sleepers. Additionally, local cultural practices involving burning joss paper can lead to occasional mild odours in the Hillview room, though these are temporary and infrequent.
The hotel demonstrates a strong commitment to recycling and conservation by providing a separate recycling bin and opting not to include vanity kits and combs, which are rarely used but available upon request. It would be a nice touch if spoons and forks were provided in the room.
The convenience store and supermarket within a 5-minute walk are a definite plus, allowing easy access to basic amenities.
On a positive note, housekeeping was exceptionally friendly, always ready to assist with room cleaning and replenishing coffee and tea, all with cheerful smiles.
A few minor improvements could enhance the stay: adding bumpers to the shower door to prevent banging, and repositioning the sink in the bathroom to minimize water drips on the tabletop and floor. Overall, a very pleasant stay with just a few tweaks needed. Even days after checking out, i find myself missing it. It offers a refreshing change from other hotels that are closer to hustle and bustle of the city.
