Goodwood Park Hotel

Not great. Despite Mayfair being newly renovated, the hygiene is still poor. The bedding was dirty, damp, and sticky. They claimed it was a down duvet, but it was actually a lumpy, feather-filled one. The hotel is like a maze, so make sure to remember the route the bellboy takes you. There's construction nearby, so expect noise during the day. The hotel's afternoon tea is very expensive; an adult set costs S$65, and a small slice of durian cake is S$17. It's a 10-minute walk to the MRT station, up a slope, and there's only an asphalt road for cars in front of the hotel, no pedestrian path.

Traveling as a family of three, we were pleasantly surprised to find that our room came with a double bed and an additional rollaway bed. This was incredibly thoughtful for a family with an older child, and made our stay very comfortable. The room was also spacious enough and had a balcony. Being on the first floor was super convenient. They replenished our bottled water daily, which was a nice touch. We were so lucky to have clear skies every day of our trip in Singapore and even luckier to have booked this hotel. We didn't need to communicate much; overall, we were extremely satisfied. I had some reservations before my trip after seeing some negative reviews online, so I'd like to clear things up. The shower had excellent water pressure, which was amazing – I could wash my hair in no time! And contrary to some reviews, it wasn't noisy at all; our stay was very peaceful.

I initially thought this was a hotel within a park. While the greenery is indeed good and the property is quite large, it doesn't really give off a park-like vibe. The main hotel building is historic, but many rooms are in an annex. The location is convenient, about a 5-minute walk from Orchard Road MRT station. The split-level suite is genuinely spacious, with a large balcony and amenities like a kitchen, oven, microwave, and washing machine. The only downsides are that the bedroom is right by the entrance, and you have to go up a few steps to reach the living room, which isn't ideal if you have a lot of luggage. Also, the air conditioning in the room was a bit noisy.

This time, I didn't get a king-size bed; instead, I was given a twin room even though I was traveling solo. The bed was a bit small, which made my multi-night stay uncomfortable, so I ended up checking out a day early. The housekeeping staff, as always, did a fantastic job – they're really commendable! And the restaurant was great too.
