I spent 4 nights here as a single traveller, on a brief holiday and loved it.
The hotel has so much charm -it's clean, attractively renovated but does not have that glitzy and to my mind boring look and feel that big US chain hotels have.
My room was very large and light. I find that many hotel rooms can actually feel dark and depressing, especially when spending time on your own there but the room was lovely and light, with a comfortable arm chair and foot rest near the window which let in loads of natural light (no sun reducing screening on the windows that can affect the natural light).
The bed was a huge king (some may find it too hard). The room had wonderful, sliding shutter screens for covering the windows at night and for privacy.
It was the quietest hotel I have stayed in for a very long time. In addition to the shutters, the windows have double glazing. Also because it is not a large hotel, you do not have endless guests walking up and down the corridor nor doors slamming.
Location wise it is perfect -on Scotts Road, very close to Orchard Road (and the MRT) but not right on it, which is exactly what I was after. Taxis were always easily available from the hotel too.
All staff were genuinely polite and friendly.
The main pool in which I swam was clean and the pool area was also clean. There are not a lot of sun lounges but only once were they all full.(There is also a second pool). It is not the swankiest pool or pool area but I enjoyed their simplicity.
I only ate breakfast and one lunch there preferring to venture out for dinner. The food was very good. As you would expect the wine was expensive. As an Australian I baulked at paying nearly AU$20 for a glass of Australian wine!
I would definitely recommend this hotel.
