Lovely personal boutique hotel with fabulous 10th floor swimming pool
On Singapore standards, this is a small boutique hotel where the front desk staff seem to know you personally. All staff were polite and very efficient but special commendations for Christopher and JR.
The hotel is close to two MRT stations and Little India, with plenty of shopping and eating opportunities in the immediate neighbourhood, so great location.
We booked the standard Habitat room which had a fabulous large comfortable bed, quiet air con and excellent sound proofing. We were on the sixth floor facing a plain concrete wall across the street (attached to Raffles I think) so not brilliant views, put on the flipside very private. There was a proper pod coffee machine and complimentary soft drinks in the minibar. The room was not huge but it was comfortable, quiet and had the usual amenities.
One of the highlights was the 10th floor south facing, rooftop pool which has unobstructed views over Raffles and to the CBD; fabulous particularly at night time. Complimentary drinks were served between 5-7 pm by the pool which was a nice touch.
We did not have the breakfast, but this was self service buffet in the lobby area and did not look very inspiring.
So a lovely small hotel with great staff, but I’m not sure about the five star rating. The Hotel doesn’t have a bar or restaurant, although there are plenty of options in the neighbourhood, and didn’t really have a 5 star presence (including externally).
