New Majestic

Stayed for five nights in January in one of the Garden rooms and loved every minute. Stayed in room 201 - Oriental Girls Go West - which was a special room request that they certainly fulfilled. The room was a reasonable size for two, not huge amounts in the way of storage area but we put our bags under the bed and had no issues with space. The room itself, though, was extremely comfortable and the outdoor tub was great. It takes more than one hot water tank to fill, but it's worth it after a long day on Ubin. Alternatively, the pool is very close by and most of the time it was just us. A perfect way to beat the midday heat! In-room facilities were great, the coffee maker was a nice touch even though the hotel is right around the corner from a few superb cafes. The staff was also very attentive and professional, always a great help when we had questions. The only issue, which I believe is room-specific, is the AC noise from over the garden wall, and even then it was easy to tune out. Certainly not street noise and beyond this it was calm and felt exclusive. Other rooms would probably not have this noise, either. So I can't fault them for that either. I would absolutely go back. It's an excellent hotel in a fantastic location.

Interesting heritage building. It's a hotel that focuses on design. Rooms are small. Minibar is complimentary. The working desk is tiny with an odd curtain setup. This is a place a leisure traveler can visit, but it is harder for a business traveler to do so. The swimming pool is cosy, as is the gym. You can walk nearby for excellent food, from breakfast to dinner and desserts.

SO awful really. None of the rooms have a proper working desk. For me as a business traveller an absolute nightmare. After changing rooms got one but table so low like for kids, cannot work like that. And windows, doors to balcony etc have absolutely no isolation whatsoever! I could literally hear everything the people say downstairs on the street. Keep in mind, this hotel has only few floors. If taking a room to be back of hotel you hear non-stop the ventilators from the A/C etc. Be aware of this place. Absolutely not recommended from my side.
