Great central hotel with a much better gym than the photos suggest
We had a really good stay here. The location is very central and convenient for exploring Singapore, and our room was clean, spacious and comfortable with a big bed, strong air conditioning and a separate toilet and shower, which was a nice touch.
All of the staff we dealt with were friendly and helpful. Check-out was really quick and easy, although check-in did take a little longer than expected.
The gym was also a real highlight for us. We’re a UK couple in our 30s who strength train 4x a week, and it had more than enough equipment for two really decent sessions while travelling. There’s a good range of machines, cables and free weights, plus a proper rack, platform and barbell setup — I was able to do RDLs and my husband used the rack for incline bench. The hamstring curl was particularly good with a really smooth resistance profile.
There are also body-composition scales, a sauna, pool and outdoor turf area with a high-quality sled for conditioning.
A special mention to Mark in the gym, who was fantastic. He spent plenty of time chatting with us, was incredibly friendly and gave us lots of great local recommendations. He really added to the experience.
Overall, a comfortable, well-located hotel with friendly staff and excellent facilities. The online photos definitely don’t do the gym justice.
