Goodwood Park Hotel

I went to this restaurant on a friend’s recommendation, for a celebration dinner with my family.|We ordered the dinner set menu, steak, lamb as well as a few desserts.||The food was good. The garlic bread and foie gras was very well done, and the steaks were flavourful and tender. Desserts were very decent and well presented as well. |Notably, the service by Mr Krishna was impeccable. He was professional, knew the meats very well, and knew how to make my daughter enjoy the dining experience.||Thank you, Gordon Grill. We will come back again.||and ambience was good was

While this 3 days stay with the family was not as sweet. Checking in, I was speaking to a receptionist who walked out atleast 5 times to speak to the manager on the arrangements of baby cot, etc. I would guess she is new but shouldn’t the manager be out supervising her then to ensure she allows a smooth check in rather than coming out to take my response and go back in. Please support your ground folks! || the Chinese restaurant doing a very poor job in managing tables and multiple calls for the clean up as my son vomited after having their noodles. They just left the vomit there despite calling for their attention and I had to pack the food as they said there were no tables despite it being seeing multiple free tables around. Very lazy work in my opinion or maybe very high expectation as the day before I met Krishna in Gordon grill who made the start of the stay amazing with his persona and very welcoming. ||I called the concierge multiple time to place the cake in their fridge in view of not being able to celebrate my son birthday after the Chinese dinner. The cake was too big for the mini bar. For 2 hours, the first 2 people who answered the call said they were on their way only for us to call the 3rd time ( past 10pm) for Naeson to pick up and apologise for the miscomm for the other 2. Nathan then came over with a great attitude to receive the cake and to sign the indemnity form. ||TLDR: |1. spending $400 for each dinner doesn’t get you the same good service especially since it was only Monday to Wednesday. |Chinese food was meh. ||2. It’s no longer about the place having standards as it definitely looks like it may have dropped quite abit but just that few people who makes it better and I’d like to thank Nathan, Krishna and Naeson for salvaging my son 4th birthday to avoid a complete disaster.

I held my wedding banquet at Goodwood Park Hotel. It was a wonderful experience. The managers were friendly and helpful. ||When I needed car coupons, I requested and they gave me for my makeup artist and Videographer. ||I requested for another room card when I forgot where I had placed it. They immediately gave me a new one. ||The service is good. I will recommend this hotel. ||And the room is spacious and the bed is good to sleep.

Our one day staycation was a very memorable experience. Parthi from Concierge was very friendly and helpful with our luggage and assisting my elderly father who had difficulty walking up stairs. He is patient and went above and beyond to help us. Apart from that, Jessie, Chiang Yi and Kunen were also fantastic in their service and made our stay fabulous.

Goodwood Park Hotel was our location of choice for our wedding banquet. Ballroom was grand and well-decorated. Food and wine served were good too||Suite was spacious with 2 bathrooms, a bedroom and a living area. The bed and pillow were comfortable. Bathrooms were well stocked and water pressure was excellent.||Staff were generally helpful and attended to our requests fairly quickly. Hotel breakfast was okay, could do with more variety.||Location is quite convenient, within walking distance to Orchard MRT and shopping malls.

I recently stayed at Goodwood Park Hotel in Singapore with my wife for a week. While the hotel boasts a prime location and comfortable rooms, it falls short in terms of cleanliness and service, which I expected to be better from a five-star property.||The hotel certainly has its strengths. The lobby is grand, and the presence of a doorman and porter adds a touch of sophistication. The location is another major plus—being next to Far East Plaza and just a short walk from Orchard Road makes it incredibly convenient for shopping and dining. However, the check-in process was less welcoming than expected. Although the staff were polite, they were somewhat distant, and it took more effort than it should have to get their attention when we needed assistance. I didn’t approach the desk immediately, but standing in an obvious spot without acknowledgment for several minutes was disappointing.||Our room was spacious and clearly designed to impress. The bed was one of the most comfortable we’ve experienced in a hotel, and the blackout curtains ensured a perfect night’s sleep. The room’s soundproofing was also excellent, keeping out both street noise and any disturbances from the corridor. However, while the furniture looked visually appealing, it wasn’t very functional. The long cushioned bench under the TV, for instance, looked stylish but wasn’t comfortable to use as seating.||The lighting in the room was a mix of modern and traditional styles, which gave it a unique feel. However, the more conventional lamps required manual switches, which seemed out of sync with the contemporary aesthetic of the rest of the room.||The main issue we had was with the cleanliness of the room, particularly the bathroom. While it was visually impressive, the mould in the shower grout was noticeable and could have been easily prevented with routine cleaning. This was a disappointment given the hotel’s five-star status.||Cleanliness was also an issue in the bedroom itself. Although the bed sheets and towels were regularly changed and clean, the bedroom floor had clearly not been vacuumed or mopped thoroughly. Walking barefoot made this quite apparent. One day, despite leaving at 8am, our room wasn’t serviced by 3pm. We were asked to wait 30 minutes, but it took closer to an hour. These delays and lapses detracted from what should have been a seamless experience.||In comparison, during our stay at Le Grove Serviced Residences in Singapore (a three-star hotel), the rooms were consistently spotless, and the staff were attentive without delay. Despite being a more affordable option, the service there was far more personalised and efficient, highlighting the disparity between the two properties.||In summary, Goodwood Park Hotel has undeniable charm, with a great location and comfortable rooms, but the lack of thorough cleaning and distant service marred what could have been a five-star experience. While the hotel has potential, I’d expect a more consistent level of service for the price. With improvements in cleanliness and staff engagement, it could easily live up to its prestigious branding.

Had a wonderful stay at this hotel recently. The service was exceptional, and the rooms were spotless and well-maintained. My only minor issue was the inconvenience of getting to and from the hotel on foot. There isn't a dedicated walkway, so my family and I had to be cautious of passing cars, which was a bit stressful. Additionally, the hotel's location on a hill made the walk a bit tiring, though it's a minor issue. The design does show its age, but it's evident that the property is still very well-maintained. This may just be a personal preference, though. Overall, I had a wonderful experience and would gladly stay here again.

Joshua is very friendly and provide us with excellent service. He introduced us the fusion food which Min Jiang served at Demsey. The restaurant environment is good, quiet and cosy. We enjoy the food and have a very pleasant dining experience.

A hotel with history. Main building is 100 yrs old and it also has a side building with loft type service apartments. Staff are friendly and this hotel offers a wide range of food choices, from Japanese, Sichuan, Thai, and western style. Located next to Orchard, with all the shops, restaurants, super markets, etc around. Convenient communication to most places, as it's close to the Orchard MRT station(3 min walk). Definitely would recommend to for biz and tourist visitors.

The stay exceeded expectations and exceptional service from the staff treating me above and beyond expectations

Absolutely CHARMING hotel! At the advice of a friend, Husband and I made Singapore a sort of pit stop en route to our honeymoon destination, to acclimate to the time and weather. I must say that I mistreated you, Singapore. You're a destination all by yourself. I was initially drawn to this hotel by the name :-P. C'mon...it's my honeymoon!! Ok, mind out of gutter now. I'm not a big fan of high rise hotels, and I appreciate old colonial architecture. Goodwood Park has both those attributes. Our flight arrived at 7am. Normally, check-in is at 2pm. The front desk graciously allowed us early check-in, free of charge! We must've looked pitifully tired, or more likely homeless and they didn't want us loitering in the lobby. Whatever their reason, after 21 hours on a plane, Husband and I were SUPER appreciative of early check-in to take a shower and catch some blissful z's on a bed. Wifi is fast and dependable. Even better, the room comes with a cell phone - calls to the US are included. Ceiling fan in the room could use a little WD40, but the creaky noise kinda went with the old-school charm haha. Unfortunately, we didn't get to eat on site. We were so out of it, we missed restaurant hours. Thankfully, Far East Plaza is next door, a bazaar of all sorts, including a life-saving 7-Eleven. Location is fantastic. It's within walking distance of Orchard Road, Newton Hawker Centre, and a movie theater where we caught a showing of Avengers: Infinity War.

It was my wife's mission to try all the durian moon cakes during our trip to Singapore. Unfortunately, due to our limited time she ended up only trying the top 2 rated durian moon cakes in 2014. First up was the Marriott's which she thought was good until she tried Goodwood Park's black thorn moon cake. I'm not a fan of durian but she savored every bite of the two she bought. If only these things would keep for more than 3 days in the freezer and if we had enough dry ice to last for the trip back to the U.S. I'm certain she would try to smuggle them back. She didn't try the MSW version as she would have had to eat all 4 herself and it was the black thorn that took the crown for the best in 2014. To quote her...Goodwood Park definitely has "the best of the best durian moon cakes." I'll just have to trust her on this. If you are a fan and want too see what the hype is all about...head straight to Goodwood Park for their black thorn moon cake.

Just commenting on their deli on the main level... Durians puffs!!! And possibly the best mooncakes in Singapore. And of course, the annual Durian fiesta-- a buffet of entirely durian based desserts. What could be better? I honestly can't think of anything! Besides that, Goodwood Park is an absolutely gorgeous, historic hotel, in the vein of the Raffles Hotel.

Quiet cozy heritage hotel at the outskirt of Orchard road. Location is super convenient if you are intending to be around Orchard. There's a bus stop outside that you can catch a bus to Newton food centre. Or walk down to the Orchard MRT station that leads you to other part of Singapore. The service crew were great and helpful. They knew that our room is not at the main wing, thus offering a buggy to bring us there. The parklane suite that we stayed is big enough for 2. There's a huge fridge hidden in the kitchen's built in cupboards. There's microwave, oven that you can whoop up a meal! There's even a dining table that I can have a meal at. It's simply like a studio apartment. Perfect for people who are here for work. The door is alittle creaky given its age. This suite is due for an upgrade. Goodwood park has a number of dining options that you can dine in. There's an alfresco seating are at L'Espresso, which is facing the swimming pool. It is clean and inviting.

Sometimes in life you get an opportunity to indulge in luxury and my trip to Singapore was one such opportunity. When trying to figure out which hotel I should make my home-base during my stay, there were so many options that my head began to spin. Then as I narrowed the choices down one by one, the Goodwood Park Hotel kept calling me. There is so much history behind the hotel that it is considered a heritage hotel. Not to mention that it is also a five-star establishment that is frequented by individuals with much deeper pocket than mine. So, the frugal and smart traveler that I am, I was able to enjoy the lap of luxury for an (slightly) affordable price. For the experience, the service, and comfort I couldn't have done any better. I arrived at the hotel for a late check-in. The front-desk concierge was welcoming and friendly. He knew that I was tired and expedited the whole check-in process. The manager on duty that evening happened to be at the front desk and proceeded to give me a complimentary upgrade to a junior suite. I didn't do anything but say good evening to the gentleman and he went out of his way to make my stay even more memorable. My suite was located next to one of the swimming pool which allowed me to take a dip either early in the morning before I explored Singapore or late at night to relax my aching body. The suite that I was upgraded to consisted of a living room, a master bedroom and two bathrooms. The master bath was beautifully adorned with marble with a tub and shower on opposite ends. It was one of the largest master bathroom I've ever seen in a hotel. The guest bathroom was also just as beautifully adorned and was located next to the living room. The master bedroom consisted of a king size bed and incredibly comfortable ergonomic pillows. The room was also equipped with a coffee maker while the living room had a portable espresso machine to start the day off right. I could go on and on about how great this hotel is but seeing is believing. I hope that travelers looking for a place to stay while in Singapore seriously consider Goodwood Park Hotel. It may not be the cheapest option, but it surely is one of the more memorable ones. And because of that, I have no qualms about staying here once more when I make a return visit to Singapore.

If you are looking for a unique durian moon cake then you MUST come here. They have a black thorn durian snowskin moon came. Omg is it amazing. The flavor is nothing I have tasted before. My mouth was so happy I had to do a little happy dance. They do sell other snowskin moon cakes but the one complaint I had is you have to buy minimum of two pieces for each flavor. They did have assorted four piece but flavors are ready set. They allowed you to sample everything but the black thorn durian one. I did not sample their traditional moon cakes but must be very good because shelf like is just 5 days. No preservatives added. When I go to Singapore again I will be back doe more of their snowskin moon cakes. This time I am going to have more than just two. Highly recommended the black thorn moon cakes!!

Been here at least thrice over the years. Excellent suite for parties. The room is clean however the TV needs some upgrading. Giving a higher rating for the great memories developed here. The location is in town and Goodwood park is known for their durians mooncakes during the season. There is something about family styled hotels that is both nostalgic and comforting. so yes do patronise

While Goodwood Park may be famous for their durians, do you know that they sell pastries and bread too? Occasionally, I do make trips down to the Deli shops to check out if there is any new items and most likely I would not go back empty handed. Here are some of the items the month of March The Vanilla Raspberry Charlotte ) is a creamy vanilla mousse layer which sat on top three Swiss rolls that are filled with raspberry jam. The mousse layer was faultless but the rolls at the base were a little too sweet. Pandan cheesecake truly surprised me with a lighter than NY cheesecake texture but yet not too mousse-y and airy like the Japanese style. Furthermore, the red beans that are studded on the sponge base were big like kidney beans but not too sweet. The aromatic pandan smell simply whiffs into your nose in every bite.

Had my very first Cronut from the bakery here today. Oh sorry... Dou-ssant. Yea.. sure. Cronut. It was filled with the custard. This tasted divine and I feel incredibly guilty for having this delectable treat. The bakery also offers yummy durian pastries worthy of the stink bomb durians emit. I like the one with macadamia nut crumble. I've been coming to Goodwood Park hotel growing up in Singapore in the 90s. High tea at both the coffee lounge and deli lounge, dim sum at Min Jiang, and Taiwanese porridge at the coffee lounge for suppers with my family. This hotel is classic and a mainstay on Scotts Road. I hope this hotel remains the same for many years to come. Its always nice to revisit old haunts that have remained the same. When so much changes in Singapore since I last lived here in 2001, I am thankful that Goodwood just made minor upgrades to keep up to date but not lose its old school flavor.

*everything Jonathan said* There are so many places famous (or "famous") for durian confectionary that I've given up trying to keep track. Goodwood Parks' coffeeshop is the one that innovates every year--one of their stalwarts is their durian cream puff (solid durian flesh tempered with a bit of cream, not a drop of icky artificial flavouring to be had), which I find to be a less-aggressive way of introducing foreign friends to durian. They introduce new pastries every year too--not all of them work (durian cream in a white chocolate shell? ok lah, but I'd rather just eat the durian, you know), but hey, it's always fun to try something new! For non-durian lovers, I strongly suggest their chocolate mud cake. ZOMG

Awesome high tea! I visited twice some years back in 2011 - first for a friend's wedding where there was a high tea reception. Excellent choice of cakes and Asian theme desserts. The 2nd time was even more unique, I went for the unlimited ala carte evening buffet, which had Chinese porridge, wonderfully sliced fish, a beef dish that was excellently spiced and a nice selection of local dessert dishes. The atmosphere was super - this is one of a few historic buildings left in Singapore that are preserved in the old colonial style, and the external facade of the hotel is one of the images most often associated with postcards from Singapore!

Gorgeous - very paradisical! 2 Lovely pools and we had a ground level balcony room for 2 nights. Tasteful and sedate - not as flashy as the Shangri-la chains. We were given the option of a free upgrade to a bigger room at check in but opted for the ground floor balcony room. Free internet, adequate breakfasts and the steak in The Gordon's Grill restaurant was out of this world and delicious. Very happy - I could have stayed there for a week. There is a terrace at the back of the lobby so it's handy to have a cigarette.
