Duxton Hill Vacation Packages

Nothing not to like. The location of the Carlton is the best feature. It is surrounded by shopping, food and easy transport access.

Location location location. Nicely centralized in Chinatown. Easy access to the MRT. Walking reachable to Newton Food Center. Little bit more to Lau Pa Sat too.

The staff were friendly and efficient. Good location; a short walk from many places and lots of food options. The pool area is nice with a small gym (adequate for a few exercises or cardio).

Thought this was a nice place overall. It was about a 10min walk to the mall/nearest subway station. The apartment was quite clean and peaceful. The pool is a nice feature as well. We also enjoyed the lobby social area, that had a coffee machine in the morning, TV, couches and fusball table. And, the staff was very nice and responsive and provided us with a constant supply of water throughout our stay, which was nice to not have to carry that back from the story in the heat. There were a few things we were disappointed with. The first is that we booked this for 5 of us and there were only two queen/double beds and a very small leather sofa that does not fold out to a bed. When I inquired about sleeping arrangements, they offered to bring me a bed for an extra charge which I did not think was appropriate. So, be cautious if you have more than 4 people unless they change the sofa to something that resembles a bed. Second, the units (there were two combined for our stay) were not well stocked with plates, silverware, coffee/tea cup or knives. I think there were maybe 3 or 4 forks, a few plates, a couple butter knives and 4 cups. Not sufficient for guests who wish to have a meal or two in the apartment. Please stock more utensils and plates for future guests and tighten the wobbly tables. Lastly, there was a slight unpleasant odor that came from one of the bathrooms at random moments; we noticed this usually when we came back from being out during the day.

Location is fantastic! Otherwise a very nice hotel with decent rooms. Hotels.com stated that our rooms would sleep 3 persons - that is not possible. One negative thing - the pillows are big and compact/hard. That reduced the quality of sleep.
