Plaza Park Royal Hotel, Singapore

Advantages: Near Orchard Road shops, transport. Excellent rooms and service, free minibar
Disadvantages: High Internet charges

...with a bath/shower also. Being in the process of travelling at the time I wanted to use the internet. There was free internet in the room provided you had your own computer. If not, then they had a business centre in the hotel where you could use the internet but this was very expensive at about £5 per hour. It was an excellent base from which to see Singapore located just 100 yards from Orchard Road with all the shops and the same distance from the metro station from where you could travel to any part of Singapore including the airport. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay here.... Read review

Disadvantages:

...- A definite MUST despite the fact the Singapore slings are expensive.

The rooms are well appointed and very clean, with your typical Holiday Inn double beds and choice of pillow firmness, TV, trouser press, tea and coffee etc., and also internet connections, bathrobes, disposable slippers and safes. The large marble bathrooms come complete with a phone for those calls that just can't wait. One of my favourite features in this hotel is the roof pool. These are common in most Singapore hotels, but this one is a huge, overflowing marble affair, with foliage around the walls, the odd gecko, and is beautifully lit for night swimming, when the temperature is perfect. There is a large... Read review
