Probably the best Business Hotel/Price value in Singapore. Clean, class and modern design. It does not have the charm of some of the other hotels I have reviewed, but if you like this kind of hotel and you got a budget slightly higher than S$200, don't look further.

Very private, very silent, yet it is facing Chijmes and Raffles City Center. How lovely if you decided to go for shopping or a beer expedition.

But of course, I stayed at this hotel before to take the challenge of staying at below S$200. I booked it @ around S$ 220++ per night, which is very reasonable for a modest 5*.

Check-in

I don't know the reason for this strange phenomena, but more stars the hotels have, longer is the check-in. It is like obliging you to witness their service level. Asking you to verify the information, to sign here and there. To complete the missing information.

The room

The room is big, clean, not newly renovated, but you feel the 5*. Giant bed, desk, flat screen displaying the welcome message with the annoying music, which obliges you to focus on finding the remote control to switch it of. I'm pretty sure you have done this before.

The gym

A real gym with multiple runners, weight machines.

The restaurant

According to Singaporeans, there is one of the best Chinese restaurant in this hotel. Please leave your comments, I haven't tried it.

Would I recommend this hotel? 

If as a business traveler, you feel staying in a business hotel and 5* is a must, stay here, it is a very good value for money. I liked it.
