“Settlement of the Shopholic”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed September 11, 2012

I have stayed at Grand Central Hotel Singapore 3 times. The first time was July 2011 and then March and April 2012. The feeling are still the same as in 3 times. The hotel services are quite good - friendly receptionist and room service. Most of the staff is the Chinese session worker, I have nice chat with them about their job in Singapore. The furniture are very old and has smoking smells - No problem to my because I am smoking too.

The very pros is the location in the heart of Singapore shopping central area. 3 - 5 minutes by walks for the Orchard Plaza, Center Point, Nghee An center ... and I am really love the street foods right the opposite corner of the hotel. A tip: a pork noodle bowl cost 12 SGD. The breakfast is included in prices but it's really really terrible.

Beside that, the room is not wide but still enough for your staying. Appropriated for the Asian Market.

“Mould all over the room”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed September 6, 2012 via mobile

Worst hotel I have ever stayed in. Ther was mould on all the walls and the bathroom was disgusting. Very ordinary breakfast with no where to sit as all the dirty tables were not cleaned up. When we complained when we were checking out the girl at the front desk said they were closing the next day. That was on the 1st August.

Stayed August 2012

“OK for a stopover”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed September 1, 2012

We stayed here for a 2 night stopover, being recommended by our travel agent for the price. As we were out apart from sleeping it was quite satisfactory. As it is just off Orchid Rd, it is central to most places like Chinatown and Little India. The room was OK, everything worked and the breakfast was a little different to what we were used to. Staff were generally helpful, with taxis outside the door.

“I will come again”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed August 23, 2012

I stayed here for three nights with my son. Room is small but we were in the room only after 6 pm. and went out by 9 am. So it was not a big issue. Brekfast was not a multiple choice . But with plenty of toasts eggs sausages and Noodles it was sufficient. TV Channels are jusgt a few any hardly anything to see other than BBC. The souvenir shop in the ground foor is very good to buy souvenirs. The prices are almost the same. If u go behind the hotel There are restaurants in the same building for Nasigorang , beer Etc.
Bus stand is close by but MRT (Sommerset and Dhoby Gaut) which ever direction you go is abt half km away. But Singapura mall is on the way. Surely you will enjoy. You can book a tour to Universal studio or night safari in the Hotel itself.- Highly recommended

“The worst hotel I have ever stayed in.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed July 10, 2012 via mobile

I have travelled extensively throughout the world and would say this was the worst hotel I have ever stayed in.

The most unfriendly staff, disgustingly dirty room, AC broken, toilet leaked, not hot water in the shower, mould all through the room and just a general stench.

Breakfast was genuinely inedible.

I am truly amazed how bad this place is. There was not one redeeming feature and in my opinion should be condemned as unfit for commercial operation.

Stay here at your peril.
