"This hotel is a solid luxury choice for business and leisure travelers, and anyone who appreciates history and old-fashioned charm." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Though celebrating its 125th birthday in 2012, the hotel is still a magnet for A-listers (Elizabeth Taylor, Diane von Furstenberg, and Barry Diller have all stayed here)." Full review
Rough Guide "The modern extension is a mixed bag, but the Raffles remains refreshingly low-rise and still has colonial-era charm in spades."
Star Service "The spirit of this old dame manages to shine through, and she deserves all the pleasantries bestowed upon her." Full review
Gayot "This 103-room colonial grand dame dating to 1887 offers an equally impressive list of modern business facilities."
Afar Magazine "A hotel whose name is instantly recognizable, the Raffles Singapore is pure colonial confection, a landmark maintained in its original style, with liveried Sikh doormen greeting guests." Full review

Frommer's "This small hotel on the edge of Little India feels like a quaint Bed & Breakfast." Full review
Concierge "The Perak Hotel (formerly Perak Lodge) is as famous in its own way as Raffles: It has long been Singapore's best little budget hotel."
Lonely Planet "A long-time favourite, the Perak Hotel... mixes a classy colonial exterior with an oriental interior complete with Buddha statues and quaint sitting and meditation spaces." Full review
Rough Guide "Set within a nicely restored shophouse and somewhat sedate – probably not a bad thing given the hullaballoo of Little India."
Time Out "Tucked behind the Little India Arcade, the Perak Hotel is ideal for soaking up local colour, while simultaneously offering a respite from the area’s hectic vibe." Full review
Oyster Budget
"The Perak Hotel is a tiny, two-pearl hotel with 35 rooms at the edge of Singapore’s bustling Little India district." Full review
