Rooms fill up fast, so book well in advance.
Rough Guide
"Less than 10min walk from Orchard Rd, this motel-like building has large if rather bland and dated accommodation; rates are a steal. S$90."
Time Out
"Housed in an old, fort-style bungalow, Lloyd’s looks characterful from the outside." Full review

"The most elegant of the Marina Bay atrium-style hotels... The Mandarin Oriental's restaurants and bars are excellent (though expensive), and its hushed, exotic spa is to die for. Service is superb." Full review

For a view towards Pulau Ubin, ask for the deluxe ocean view room; the Club Harbour suite overlooks the harbour and the city.
