Very chic property at the heart of Singapore’s centre. Situated on the famed (or infamous Lloyd Road), this is an easy walk to the shops, cafes and eateries on Orchard and Somerset. Transit-wise, it is right smack in between Dhoby Gaut and Somerset stations.
Saying the hotel is clean would be an understatement. It is immaculate. The pool and the grounds make it look very trendy, but casual and not pretentious.
Our only complaint was that we were given the accessible room. That said, the bathroom situation was less than ideal. There were no shower doors. Instead, the whole bathroom, while spacious especially by Singapore standards, would become a giant wet room after each shower, even if one uses the handheld shower.
We had no squeegee or a mop, to clean the floors, nor should we expect to clean the bathroom anyway. It took a while for the water to dry up so waking up in the middle of the night to use the toilet, we slipped and almost fell more than twice.
There was also a slight leak from the bathroom ceiling.
The door to our room did not close easily. One has to pull it firmly shut, which we found to be ironic considering it’s meant to be a room designed for accessibility.
For those who might need this room, it might actually work. It’s room for 30.
The staff was apologetic and even offered another room and an upgrade to us.
Staff service was excellent. Check-in was a breeze. Provision of light breakfast at nearby ABC is a delight.
