Southeast Asia, Asia hotel rooms at the Independent

"This hotel deserves its excellent rating. It is modern and extremely clean. The rooms are a nice size and well laid out. The bed and bedding are luxurious. Breakfast is quite good. The Carlton is in an excellent location. Overall I highly recommend this hotel."

"The experience has been amazing. Everything has been perfect and the hotel, the service, the meals and everything else exceeded our expectations. Highly recommended for a unique experience!"

"It was well kept and the staff was very helpful and friendly. We will definitely stay here again. "

"Very conveniently placed in Orchard. Very funky hotel, good breakfast, lovely pool, good gym facilities. Bar closes early and bathrooms with large windows looking both onto the outside world and into the bedroom won’t be for everybody. But overall, we had a great stay."

"Overall, I had a great experience—excellent service and a well-maintained hotel. However, there were a couple of drawbacks worth noting. First, the bathroom design isn’t fully separated from the main room. If you're sharing the space and someone is sleeping, turning on the bathroom lights or using the facilities can easily wake them. This setup isn’t ideal for guests with different schedules or for anyone needing to use the restroom during the night. Additionally, there are no self-service laundry facilities on-site. I was directed to the nearby Victoria Hotel, which does offer laundry machines, but the setup was less than ideal—the washer and dryer are located outdoors, under a shaded area. While functional, it wasn't the most comfortable or convenient arrangement. We did appreciate that the hotel allowed us to use their shower rooms before we went to the airport as we had to check out by noon and our flight did not depart till 9pm. That was definitely a very nice option! Hotel was close to Chinatown (about a mile) and an easy walk there and back with plenty of eateries and shops to peruse on the way there and back. "

"New clean hotel. Great staff and amenities. Hotel is less than year old. Definitely would stay again. "

"An absolute must stay to make your on travel plans easy. All day access to the pool and bathrooms post check out makes this option far superior for anyone with late flights. Easy walk to Jewel and access to terminals."

"Nice hotel in awesome lacation"
