On Monday 20/5/13 I ordered a room service (Silka Signature Beef Burger) and it arrived at about 7pm and it was nice until 2am when I... More

Rooms are a bit small for couples, bathrooms are definitely for singles only. Breakfast is generally NOT included in price. Kapitan Corner restaurant ajoint is no good and overpriced for what they serve. Maybe a suitable place for light travellers and backpackers !

I booked 3 nights in a deluxe room at the Silka for my son (11) and I. We were visiting JB to go to Legoland and Universal Studios. We trusted the Silka website which promotes both and advises it's only 20 mins from the city/Singapore border and 35 mins from Legoland. On arrival, I was surprised to find how isolated... More

It was my first stay at the place after it became Silka. I stayed here twice back in 2009 when it was still the Dorsett; the first time for two nights, the second time was for two weeks.
