"We’ve stayed in a number of hotels In Singapore and this is up with the best. It’s classic, but loads of style, all of which has been modernised to a high standard. The location, staff, and breakfast are excellent. I also feel it’s very good value for money. Will stay here again."
"Room was dirty, doors were broken, curtains with stains and etc. Changed the room but issues remained. After the check-out, tried to reach hotel multiple times - no replies"
"Our stay at the Carlton was fantastic Housekeeping staff in particular were very friendly, professional and did a lovely job of maintaining our room daily and remembering our requests/preferences."
"The room I was clean but didn't feel like it. Walls thins, paint peeling, smell of mold. Furthermore, the t.v. wouldn't connect. Checked out as soon as I checked in."
"Initial check in via the Club lobby lounge on the ground floor was excellent. All downhill from there. We booked a Club room having stayed here last prior to the renovations.
Since then the room itself is vastly improved. But service was abysmal. Over 50 minutes for bags to be delivered in spite of multiple calls. Calls for milk etc went on hold for over 16 minutes. Room service essentially doesn't exist and I'd suggest the hotel is massively understaffed to save $$..
The Club is a cacophony of kitchen and bar staff yelling, horrible food, glacial service, minuscule wine pours necessitating endless requests for a refill. It felt like a 3 star cruise ship lounge, complete with distressed staff.
Avoid the Club.
The best part of the stay was Plume, where we had to retreat to get a decent bar, edible food and gracious service. Having paid for a Club room it was incredibly disappointing that we had to spend $200 in Plume for a few glasses of wine and food 🙃.
No one on check out offered any attempts at recovery. Hotel is full of groups, airline crews.
In summary there are so many issues and so many better options in Singapore 🇸🇬"
