Top Balestier Hotel Reviews

Carlton Hotel Singapore

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location and amenities. A very relaxing place to stay. Very clean and spacious."

lyf Funan Singapore

10/10 Excellent

"The location is very good. There are many benchmarks around the hotel, and here have many shoppes, facilities, and restaurants. Also, I was easily able to make some running courses. All the staff are kind and handle things quickly. If there is something you need help with, just ask them or leave a note at the board by the door. If it’s something they can do, they’ll do it kindly."

PARKROYAL COLLECTION Marina Bay, Singapore

8/10 Good

"The hotel itself was excellent. Sadly, the staff weren’t always so helpful - but always friendly. Some inconsistencies with room service during my stay: coffee arriving cold, wrong order, no condiments - that sort of thing. I had a massage at the spa and my masseuse was truly a magician (thanks again)! One thing that I did struggle with is the caged birds in reception. Granted they were there all day, but still, they did bounce around their cages which was sad to see."
