When I booked this reservation I thought I was staying in the Peninsula hotel. However, I realised shortly after check-in, that I had been put in the adjoining Excelsior Tower accommodation. I had no problem with this but was greeted by a room which smelt musty and damp, old-fashioned decor (bed linen/curtains etc) and entirely in need of fresh paintwork. This made the poster claim in the hotel elevator of a "newly-refurbished" hotel a bit hard to take seriously.
The musty room was the only fault however. Service was excellent when I arrived on an early check-in and late check-out for a late night flight to Europe.
Location of the hotel is also excellent. I would recommend this hotel for that reason only, although I'm sure there are other hotels which also fulfill this criteria.
Overall, a little disappointing for the price, considering the very high standards I would have got for the same price in Ireland/UK.

| "Stayed in the hotel for a wee, had ample services and facilities as I only had to sleep in it. Some noises during the night due to renovation. The keycard for the room and elevators was messed up most of the time (got stuck inside the elevator a few times). Excellent lcation as it's very near the train/bus/taxi stations in City Hall area. Breakfast was ok but the same everyday; some variety would be good. Had to pay 5dollar deposit for plug adapter (should be part of room as customers are usually travelers from abroad). No hotel transfers but cab to and from airport should be easy. For non-smokers, make sure you request for rooms on the non-smoking floors. Funan Mall is just next door so it was really convenient for last minute shopping. Highly recommended hotel for the price; no frills, just what's needed for a comfortable SG stay. " |

| "Stayed on the Excelsior side and was very impressed with the room. Very clean and spacious with nice views over the city and this was only a standard room. Excellent position - central for all the sights and the MRT. Good breakfast." |

| "The hotel rooms were a bit jaded and the reception staff were not terribly helpful, trying to get me to take a smoking room - but for the price and convenient location near City Hall MRT it would be hard to beat in Singapore. For a short stopover it was fine." |

| "I would say a good 4 star hotel, personel is nice, helpful, rooms are very good quality and spacious, location is most convenient, central, just inbetween China town and Little India, close to all the shopping, night life on Boat Quay, etc. One stain is the internet connection, a real ripoff, way too expensive. The two swimming pools and the gym make for a pleasant stay and free use the showers after check-out, if your plane is late, is most welcome. Still on the expensive side. " |
