I stayed at the Sultan when it opened and thought it was nice enough although not a full service establishment. This latest stay showed me it is not improving with experience. The staff are great but the amenities are getting less. I couldn't get a bucket if ice in the room for example and was told ice was available in... More

Nice little low rise boutique hotel with a good location. Rooms somewhat small if you're staying more than one night but great for a stopover. Perhaps the more expensive rooms on the second floor would be better but make sure you have a window.

Hotels in Singapore are good - expensive but good. hey all have free wifi, the service is always top notch, gyms are clean and well equipped, etc etc - but, they are large modern could be anywhere in the world buildings. The Sultan is a real gem, old colonial building, lovely rooms, well equipped, fast wifi, good tea and coffee... More

Two flights from Sibu saw me arrive with a very parched throat and to my surprise the roof top bar was closed until 8 PM and the down stairs bar was being renovated. My room had a frig and to my surprise there was nothing in it. This inspired me to find a close water hole in the form of... More

We stayed here for five days in April, we found it a lovely little hotel , staff were great, breakfast was very nice all you can eat, the only problems were the paint fumes thru the foyer of hotel , but I guess progress must happen after all renovations were going on, the area has a lot of nice little...

Get the loft suit, it's beautiful! Hotel staffs are very helpful upon check in. Entire stay was happy. Bed is very comfortable, however, the sofa and the staircase is a bit dusty. Helpful staffs, good location, a lot of good food nearby within walking distance! Good stay.

They forgot to mention that they were doing renovations and the breakfast area was temporarily displaced to the foyer which smelt strongly of paint. The sultan suite was the size one expects from a normal e-suite bedroom and the wallpaper in the first room they took me to was painful on the eyes so I asked for another. Plug points... More

We stayed with a voucher and it was well worth it. The hotel we nicely decorated, the rooms while small were pretty standard for Singapore, and were clean and well equipped. On saturday night, the noise from the bar carried through the walls and some of the group had difficulty sleeping but I think this was easily overlooked as we... More

I stayed here to prepare for a job interview. I had booked the room in haste (roughly knowing where exactly the location was; this is Singapore) and was delighted to discover it is in a rather bohemian side of town. Nice restaurants are nearby so it was easy to eat well despite my short stay (three nights). First impressions: Very... More
