Strand Hotel

The hotel was near to an MRT station. It was adequate but not welcoming. The staff were friendly and polite.

The hotel is obviously undergoing some renovation and much need updating. The work was being carried out on our arrival in the reception which made access to the lift difficult. I feel that it should have been made clear when booking that the hotel was under improvement. The room we were given at first had just been repainted and the walls were white undercoated only. The room had a distinct smell of paint. They did give us another room (although I did not ask them to) on a lower floor but with an inferior view of the rear carpark. The room itself was clean, adequate and comfortable although lacking a personal feel. The breakfast was non-descript and there were no staff around to ask about the procedure. No one asked us what we wanted but pushed two plates of cooked sausage and egg in front of us. I did not eat it as it looked uncooked. All in all we felt that the whole hotel lacked a personal feel and although it was trying to improve I could not honestly justify the price of the stay. The reception needed flowers or paintings or something to make it welcoming. Would I stay again. To be honest .no. I might all back in in a couple of years to see if they have succeeded in their efforts and I wish them well for the future.

The area was central close to most excursions

Needs to be updated. Rooms and hallways need updated

Location of the hotel in is close to the store and tourist spot.

it could have been better to do laundry in the area. one elevator only is working.
