Not recommended here for family.

We stayed for two weeks so the communal kitchen and laundry facilities were invaluable. The location was 7 min. to the MRT and 5 min. to the shopping centre and unlimited restaurant choices. A wise choice indeed.

The Carlton Hotel itself is a nice property, but unfortunately, I wasn’t particularly impressed with my room. The only two USB outlets in the room didn’t work, mildew/mold in the bathroom, and the sink faucet was so loose that it felt like it might break any minute. Those issues weren’t deal-breakers for me, and I could have lived with them. What really surprised me, though, was the price when I decided to extend my stay by one additional night. I was quoted over $500 for one night, even though I had paid about $600 for my original THREE NIGHT stay. Considering the problems with the room, I felt the hotel could have made some kind of allowance or offered a reasonable rate for the extra night. Unfortunately, they didn’t. So, I ended up staying at an equal hotel just around the block for less than one-third of what the Carlton quoted me. I have to say, I’m pretty disappointed. I expected better from the Carlton, especially given the issues with my room and the fact that I was already a guest.

The room was very modern and the clean. The staff was super helpful and the hotel is located a very convenient location right in the middle of Chinatown and close to the Chinatown metro which made it very easy to get to places. Only thing is that the air conditioning was a little loud for me at night and it couldn't be turned off.

Staff were very friendly and helpful. The place felt a little dated but overall cost homely feel.
