Highlights

Wellness: Pürovel Spa & Sport, Singapore's first luxury Swiss spa

Rooms: 476 rooms with oversized windows and city views

Dining: Two restaurants including Ellenborough Market Café

Recreation: Outdoor pool with water slide and kids' pool

Location: 300 m from city center, near Clarke Quay and Chinatown

Business: Swiss Executive Lounge and business center

“Here's my take: this hotel attempts to blend a wellness retreat with Singapore's vibrant city life, and mostly succeeds. Its location near Clarke Quay means nightlife is steps away, while the Swiss spa offers a tranquil escape, though the balance might not suit all tastes. I think it is a solid choice for business or leisure.”

Satisfactory stay overall

wide variety breakfast buffet central location quiet room stained carpet early closure pool ineffective hairdryer
The breakfast buffet had a wide variety of options. I appreciated the selection. The location was central to many attractions. It was also close to public transportation. The room was quiet. I could not hear any outside noise.
The carpets near the rooms looked stained. It was quite noticeable. The pool closed early, at 10 PM. I felt this was inconvenient given the weather and humidity. The hairdryer smelled like it was overheating. It also was not very effective.

i gotta say, i wasn't thrilled with a couple things. first, the tv was ancient. it wasn't a smart tv, so i couldn't even stream anything. then there was this weird, musty smell in the room. it lingered the entire stay, and i couldn't get rid of it no matter what i did.

Acceptable Hotel Experience

good location friendly staff fun waterslide faulty air conditioning torn bathrobe poor maintenance
The hotel location was good. It provided convenient access to nearby attractions. Staff members were friendly, and they were always available. The kids really loved the water slide at the pool.
My room's air conditioning unit did not function well. It struggled to cool the room. The bathrobe in my room was torn. I found it highlighting a lack of maintenance.
