NOT A HIP HOTEL -- I choose this hotel because it says it's a hip hotel. Then I found out that not more than 20 rooms in the hotel were decorated in "hip" style. Like mine, the room had no design at all (see attached pics). The only "hip" feel I could find at the hotel was the outlook of the hotel wall and their swimming pool.

WRONG RESERVATION -- I booked this hotel thru internet and requested 1 king size bed, non-smoking room. But upon our arrival, they could only offer me a 2 single size beds room. Their excuse was I because I booked thru internet and I needed to call in advance to secure a King size bed with them. They asked if I'm willing to pay S$50 more to upgrade my room to a king size bed room. I felt that I GOT CHEATED, so I didn't accept their offer and kept my 2 single size beds, non-smoking room, which the living room & bathroom was so tiny just like those semi double rooms in Tokyo.

DAMP BEDDING -- The bedding was damp I guess because the room was too small, the bathroom and living room was packed together, plus the ventilation system was not working well that when I get a shower, the steam would come out from the bathroom glass door gap (a big gap) and would make the whole room so humid.

WEAK WIFI SIGNAL -- I believe they got wifi in the hotel, but the signal was very weak that I got disconneted serveral times within a few minutes. Luckily, their normal wired internet connection worked very well.

SERVING MINI SIZE COMPLIMENTRY WATER – You can find 2 bottles of 310ml water in the room, I could finish drinking the whole mini bottle in a second. Can they be more generous in serving normal size 500ml water?! Of course I can always ask for more bottles, but it’s so troublesome to have to call house keeping 2 times in a nite for water.

GOOD LOCATION – It’s located right next to Robertson Quay and it’s only 10 mins walk to Clarke Quay. It’s so convenient to get to those bars and clubs along riverside.

Its kind of a chic hotel in Singapore, fully utilising the available space as space is a constraint in Singapore.

Rooms are very small and there's hadrly any lobby area. Once can enjoy a breakfast with street views around the hotel.

Offlate due to rise in Dollar value, hotels in Singapore have become expensive so one can check the price of the hotel before booking it.

The Gallery markets itself as a "boutique" hotel. I suppose if lots of glass and metal on the outside and zany architectural stuff meets that criteria, then it is. Gallery room small, but clean and comfortable. More bits of metal on the ceiling to support the wardrobe door, and industrial looking wash hand basin. Two stage elevator a bit of a pain - first one take you to 4th floor where "trendy" restaurant is. Then 2nd one takes you to room levels - but they both seemed to be permanently parked on 10th floor, never 4th. Dont waste your money S$23++ on breakfast. Its been out since 7am and tries to be all things to all races. A freshly fried egg and a few rashers of good bacon with some meat on would have been better. Brewed/stewed coffee a bit grim. Better to go down to the river and pay $10 for breakfast in one of the many cafs. I've stayed here before - think its time to move on.

The most annoying thing about Singapore in general is the ++ tax on everything. Same as Malaysia. Yes we know we have to pay service charge/govt tax/ sales tax or whatever. We do everywhere in the world. But why not just make the price what you see is what you pay.

I stayed here with my parents and brother - two seperate rooms - both comfortable and modern.

This hotel is in a good location - close to restaurants and the marina area - a short cab ride from orchard road shopping area. Relatively quiet area but close to everything.

This is a great hotel looking for something different - a very strange but funky hotel design, nice bright colours and modern designs. Everyone (parents and brother were happy)

The pool is amazing - roof top with spectacular views and glass edge that overhangs the building - very cool!

Nothing i can really moan about - breakfast was good - but ate out for dinner/lunch while we were exploring the city.

Had internet station near reception and all that we needed. I would definately return I really enjoyed it!
