My wife and I decided to book...
My wife and I decided to book a Concorde Club room for our three night stay, as the extra cost (around $20) more than covered the cost of breakfast for two people. ( I had previously read all the reviews re the hotel in your travellers Tales on the Internet before we made our decision.) We were not dosappointed. We could not speak highly enough of the hotel. Both facilities and service were great from the moment we arrived.
The service from the doorman, through reception, and finally being taken to the room by the bellboy, could not be faulted for absolute courtesy and helpfulness. During our stay we very impressed by the attitude and helpfulness of the staff we encountered. The Concierge and doormen were wonderful in directing us with helpful advice in relation to eating and getting around Singapore generally. The Concorde room was a fine investment, starting with the buffet breakfast, and the complimentary cocktails in the evening.
We would recommend the Concorde toanyone planning a stopover in Singapore. It's slightly away from the centre of the city, but cabs are so cheap and plentiful getting around proved no problem.
From our experience I fail to understand why some letter writers to Travellers Tales labelled staff at the hotel " aloof and unhelpful". We will certainly return to the Concorde next time we are in Singapore.
