Great stay for family of 4
Pros:

I have stayed in several different 5 stars hotels in Singapore, and I can say without a doubt that this hotel would be my pick if I’m to go again. It’s very comfortable, the stuff is amazing and it has everything we, as family of 4 needed. The location is great and the rooms are just very comfortable. Compared to other hotels, I find this one to have the best value for money .

Cons:

The breakfast was very busy. However the food was good and the stuff very attentive. It is about the only thing I can think of. However, the experience was not better in other hotels either.

Ottimo soggiorno e hotel di qualità
Pros:

Ottimo soggiorno, hotel molto bello sia per spazi comuni sia per la camera. Letti comodi e anche il terzo letto benchè fosse un divano aveva un materasso vero.
Posizione comoda per tutto, molti ristoranti nelle immediate vicinanze e Chinatown a due passi
Bella piscina e altri benefits (palestra, campo da padel) che non abbiamo usato
Personale attento

Cons:

Per il costo avrebbe avuto molto senso avere la colazione inclusa

A hotel that failed at the one thing a hotel must provide: an undisturbed night’s sleep
Pros:

The location is convenient and lively, within walking distance of Chinatown and close to the MRT. The surrounding area is mainly a business district, so it may be particularly suitable for business travellers. The room was spacious, the visible areas appeared clean (but not), and breakfast was satisfactory, although not especially varied or memorable.

Cons:

Cleanliness, service and management were far below five-star standards. The room was only superficially clean: visible surfaces had been wiped, but dirt and debris were noticeable beneath furniture and in less obvious areas. The lobby feels more like a café, while reception consists of two tiny desks beside the lifts. It felt like five-star branding without five-star service.

The worst incident occurred at approximately 4:00 a.m., when reception called our room and woke us abruptly because another guest had reported noise “from somewhere.” Instead of investigating and identifying the source, staff apparently decided to telephone sleeping guests and ask whether they were responsible.

When I said the noise was not coming from us, the employee casually ended the call without apologising. Unnecessarily waking paying guests at 4:00 a.m. and showing no concern afterwards is astonishingly careless and unacceptable.

The next morning, I reported the incident to a manager. Despite this, we received no explanation, no meaningful apology and no follow-up before checkout. Management simply ignored the incident and waited for us to leave.

A hotel’s primary purpose is to provide a safe, comfortable and undisturbed place to sleep. Thats the reason we pay for "nights" and "beds". Breakfast, a pool, a gym and a star rating are secondary.

Amara failed at this basic obligation and then showed complete indifference when given the opportunity to address it.

Without this incident, the hotel might have deserved 7 out of 10. I rated it 3 because “poor” accurately describes both the incident and management’s response. A hotel’s true standard becomes clear when something goes wrong. Here, we saw poor judgement, no accountability and no genuine concern for the guest.

If something goes wrong during your stay, do not expect this hotel to take responsibility. If you value your sleep, peace of mind and basic respect, stay somewhere else.
