Nice stay with qualifications
My wife, two-year old son and I stayed at the Parkroyal on Beach for our third trip to Singapore and found the hotel to be pleasant and comfortable. I am writing this review from the point of view of someone traveling with a young child and so some of my comments may be totally irrelevant to others.
Our room (a deluxe) was clean and relatively spacious by Singapore standards. The combined shower and bath was a little disappointing and wouldn't suit a person with limited mobility, but the bathroom was a good size.
When we arrived at the room the cot for my son was already set up and the staff were helpful showing us to the room and helping with luggage. Without exception the staff were helpful and pleasant.
Access to the hotel is via steep steps and so we had to carry our son's stroller up and down it (occasionally with him in it) and the doors at the top are heavy glass and not automatic. The location of the hotel, while handy for Kampong Glam is not ideal for access to other parts of the city since it entails a walk to and from Bugis Junction. While not arduous it is something to consider.
Getting across the road from the hotel requires going over a foot bridge (many steps and so not suitable for a pushchair) or by walking down to Ophir Road and using the lights.
We didn't eat at the hotel and so are not able to comment. There are many eateries in Kampong Glam and at Bugis. Highly recommend Toast Box at Bugis for breakfast.
Overall we would recommend the hotel and would stay there again, but only when our son is a bit older.
