It feels like home, it was really nice to spend our time in the hotel. The amenities are great and my kids love to swim on their swimming pool and it is very clean. The staff are very kind and accomodating.

Tristar Idyll
Pros:

The hotel was a short walk from the MRT station at Paya Leber, 400 m flat walk, the adjacent area has everything you need, plenty of shops, a hawkers market, a huge market Geyland Serit across the road, a couple of supermarkets nearby. There is a parking place for Anywheel bikes at the market. Get the App, cycling via shared paths and underpasses meant the East Coast Parkway and beaches were a breezy 20 minutes ride away . Swam lengths at Amber beach every morning. Had a nice big room on floor 3, swimming pool level overlooking city and street scape, good facilities, comfortable big bed and everything works!!. Nice big shallow pool..1 m , so cooling on a humid hot day, sunloungers and pool towels provided.
24 eatery directly under the hotel..loved the large mango lassi. All the hotel staff were great and friendly byt not aloof. Shout out to the 3rd floor staff who kept my room clean and restocked with tea!! Definitely commend front of house staff Desmond and Mira, prompt, efficient and friendly, always had time for advice/directions or just just a chat.

Cons:

So much to see and do in Singapore and not enough time.
Word of caution..thunderstorms massive and intense, carry an umbrella anytime your out, got caught out and soaked on the rail corridor with no shelter!! You have been warned!!

Pros:

Pool area, Permanently staffed reception desk

Cons:

There is a dent in the bathtub that prevents the water from fully draining, which has already caused signs of mold or similar. The bathroom door has swollen at the bottom and is stained.
