The Carleton is my #1 choice when in Singapore The value and location is my main reasons for choosing the Carleton over all other hotels in the area. The Raffles Hotel, Chines and Raffles City mall is literally a walk across the street. There is a food pavilion with small restaurants and bars with live entertainment and TV's for sports in the lower courtyard. The MRT is a short walk. The Buffet is good and their Chinese restaurant is even better. For value comparison J.W in Southbeach " which is...

Wonderful and convenient hotel. Very helpful and responsive team at front desk. Outstanding location - centrally located with easy access to most places via public transit and / or walk. Located above a mall with fantastic food options.

Nice hotel in a great location. We love the Orchard Road area. The breakfast is very nice. We did not eat dinner there so can't comment on that. The standard rooms are smallish but well laid out. They were fine for our purpose as we did not spend much time in our room other than sleeping. I would certainly stay there again and would send my friends there.

The best part was the Property location and the breakfast. It was my first time sleeping in a pod. It was much easier to sleep than in a regular dorm with bunk beds.

There is a lot of restaurants and small grocery stores near by. Public transits are easy access. MTR or trains is about 15 minute walk. Bus stop is about a minute walk.

We had stayed here four times previously and continue to return. It is clean, safe, helpful staff, easy walk to public transport, restaurants and shops. Excellent WiFi. Great value in expensive Singapore. Got a better price with
Expedia than by dealing with the front desk directly. One improvement could be to give guests an extra towel and a small bar of soap for the washbasin. On the other hand, when we requested more towels, they cheerfully and quickly delivered them to our room. ...
