Location
Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the resort was mixed. The staff was friendly and the room was spacious, but unfortunately, it had a moldy smell and some cleanliness issues. The location was convenient for activities but lacked nearby food options. The dining experience was subpar with overpriced and unsatisfactory meals.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel, enjoying the secluded and quiet location where I got to observe peacocks, hornbills, and squirrels. The rooms were spacious and came with a well-stocked mini-bar, living room, and balcony, providing a comfortable retreat. The service was top-notch, with the staff going above and beyond to make our stay special, even preparing a delicious cake for our arrival. The dining options were good, although a bit more variety would have been appreciated. One minor drawback was the burnt mark in the bathtub. Overall, a great value for money stay with helpful staff and beautiful surroundings.
The room was not as expected, with sandy toilet and becoming wet after a shower due to no curtain. Lacks necessary equipment and safety features. No free WiFi or kid-friendly facilities. The service was top-notch, accommodating special requests. Staff was friendly and helpful. The location is fantastic with nearby amenities and friendly staff. The dining choices were nice, but there were some issues with cleanliness. Overall, a mixed experience.
The hotel offers nice, spacious rooms that are clean and spacious, but could not be cooled to the temperature we wanted. It would be great if the rooms were ready in advance for guests checking in to avoid waiting at the lobby. The service was somewhat noisy and the staff showed signs of impatience, despite providing amenities like room service and housekeeping. The location is prime and conveniently next to the Imbiah station, which can be considered a mini island hidden away from the hustle and bustle of city life. The dining experience was mediocre, with the complimentary breakfast making up for the limited options. The facilities were modern and in good condition.
The hotel rooms are better than the pictures show, spacious, tidy, and ensure a good night's rest. The staff goes the extra mile for cleanliness and sanitization, but the dining experience may not meet expectations.
The hotel had a bit of a dusty ambiance in both the rooms and the restaurant, but the connecting rooms were a practical feature. The service was professional and efficient, especially at night, despite lacking a personal touch. The location was decent but had its ups and downs, with notable positive aspects like being near USS. Not having dining included and the need to go to Sofitel were cons, but the complimentary breakfast made up for it. The facilities provided were adequate, with some nice extras like Irish soda bread.
The hotel rooms are spacious with all necessary amenities, which was just fabulous. Inside, it was very comfortable. The service fixed any issues straight away, although some inquiries were unnecessary. The location, albeit beautiful, felt cramped due to ongoing construction nearby. Dining was very basic with significant delays in service. Overall, a mixed experience.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was ideal in Sentosa, near Resorts World Sentosa and with convenient transport links, but the rooms were old, basic, and not well-maintained. The staff lacked politeness and attentive service, although one person stood out as approachable and friendly. The dining options were limited and disappointing. However, the historical site nearby and walking distance to the beach were great highlights.
My room on the ground level was basic and not well isolated, allowing insects and lizards in. The moldy smell and presence of dead flies in the shower room were off-putting, but the personal buggy and backyard jacuzzi were nice touches. The service was lacking in efficiency, especially with requests like laundry, but staff were friendly and spoke English well. The location, although close to RWS, lacked spontaneity in welcoming guests. The dining experience fell short but offered a good variety. Overall, the hotel offers basic facilities with some room for improvement.
The hotel exceeded my expectations with its spacious and well-presented rooms, but the chilly room temperature was a downside. The service was exceptional with attentive and patient staff, making my stay hassle-free. The location was a mix of convenient with free shuttle services and some inconveniences like constant wet surfaces. The dining options were average, albeit slightly overpriced. The facilities provided added value to my stay.
The hotel is located in restored military barracks, offering quite comfortable rooms that are tidy and neat, with spacious accommodations ideal for families traveling with kids. The complete amenities and condiments provided in the rooms and toilets enhance the stay experience. However, the dining options could be improved for a better overall experience.
