Singapore Cheap Vacations

Good location and very clean. Friendly staff. Great breakfast.

Lots to do close by and metro just round the corner

The hotel is very impressive, modern and also a green oasis. It's a lovely feeling first coming in. Staff were pleasant. The food is lovely and caters to a wide audience, with food stations based on international cuisines (we only had breakfast in the restaurant, we also had room service for dinner as we found local restaurants shut quite early and that food was just ok). The room was lovely and spacious, the bed is comfortable. The balcony is a bit non descript, no room or appetite to sit out there. Whilst we enjoyed our stay and it was a good base to get to Marina Bay, the main thing that really put us off were the live birds in tiny cages. I understand this has been the custom for years, however I've read previous complaints and the hotel said they would revisit this, however a decade later there has been no change. The sound of bird song would serve the purpose to create a nice ambience. It is beyond cruel to have creatures stuck in tiny cages all day - there is only one perch so they are unable to move to different heights, and the cages narrowed at the top in a cone shape which meant they can't fly around. Despite previous comments from the hotel saying the birds are well looked after, I disagree that these conditions are acceptable and add to guest experience. I personally witnessed many behaviours that showed the birds were distressed (jumping up and down, mouth hanging open etc.) and I was unable to see sufficient food and water. This really distressed us.
