:: Handy phone free for you to use as you travel around the city! very convenient, allows you to make calls to certain countries at no extra charge, also has internet so you can use it as your city guide making your way around Singapore
The Bad:
:: room itself is on the smaller side
:: you couldn't control the air conditioning in the room to stay on all day while you are gone. this means when you leave in the morning and come back from work all day, the room is humid and muggy and takes some time to cool down. the air conditioning and lights are both controlled by a motion sensor so it knows when you leave to shut everything off. i understand the need to control waste of hotel guests, but the grossest thing is to go all day in the humidity of Singapore, only to come back to your hotel room and it's just mucky in there
:: the gym was always at 27 or 28 degrees Celsius, which is about 80 to 82 degrees Fahrenheit. no gym should ever be that warm. i'd go running and workout and be disgusting sweating because the temperature in the gym wasn't set to cool. i tried to call the hotel and ask them to lower the temperature but it never got adjusted.
:: the elevators in the hotel were set up in a way that was annoying. you had to go to 2 different elevators just to get to your room. the first elevator just took you to the lobby and checkin, then you had to walk across the lobby to get to the elevator for the rooms. this isn't a big deal if you are staying a short time, but i was there for a while and it got tedious very quickly. just simple things like going to pick up Deliveroo from downstairs was a pain.
The Ugly:
:: none
Would I go back? I don't think so. I didn't hate it, I just didn't love it, and all the inconveniences distracted from the whole. If you're looking for a place that's close to a lot of things in the Robertson Quay area and budget isn't an issue, then I'd recommend this to you.
This place is IN (but not enthusiastically).
