Singapore is an uber-efficient city with every kind of modern facility, but many of the usual hotels could be anywhere on earth. The Scarlet is an exception. It is in an older but still highly convenient (for business) part of Singapore. The neighborhood is full of quaint low rise buildings, cafes, nightspots and close to both Chinatown and the business... More

I have had largely bad experience with hotels in Singapore. Unless you use a 5 star mainstream hotel (which is not my thing) and pay the price, I've generally been very disappointed. Finally a unique hotel which has both great design and is very comfortable. The hotel is a converted old building and full of character in the heart of... More

Living in KL, we spend quite a few weekends in Singapore and have always tended to go to the larger 5 star hotels but on this occasion decided to go for something a little more boutique. What a great decision that was! A charming, boutique hotel in a great area, away from the hustle and bustle of the centre. Great... More

The staff at The Scarlet treated us like royalty. They went above and beyond my expectations. The room was small but very cozy and comfortable. Each mornign the give you tea, coffee and waters. The location was just fantastic! Maxwell Food Center is literally right outside the door, its minutes from the MRT and Chinatown. Just a pleasant stay here... More

We stayed in the Scarlet for three nights, and would recommend it to other travellers. The service is very good and although the check in staff couldn't immediately show us our room as we arrived early, they made an effort to speed it up for us. They were always very helpful, with plenty of answers, advice and tips, including booking... More

Stayed 3 nights in this unique designed hotel in April 2012 . It has a rouge and black theme - kind of like Dracula designed it. The hotel is a couple of mins from the centre of Chinatown and about 10 minutes or less walk to the local MRT station (Chinatown) - so pretty convenience to getting around Singapore and... More

After a month traveling through Thailand and Malaysia, my last stop at The Scarlet was the cherry on top. The service is impeccable. My husband and I asked for a restaurant address and received printed step-by-step directions, delivered to our door. We left a few clothing items behind to make room for our new Singapore purchases, and I received an... More

We stayed at The Scarlett while we had a 3 night stopover in Singapore. It was a great location for exploring the city, the staff were all great especially Yna at the front desk who really helped us out with our inquiries in a friendly yet professional way. The only disappointment was that the room was a little small. I... More

Generally speaking I find hotels in Singapore disappoint. I have tried so many but then discovered this little boutique gem. I stayed at the Scarlet many times but the most important thing to note is that some rooms are tiny! I broke my toe on the first visit but having learned a lesson I always booked larger rooms and loved... More
