I was ready to write a bad review of this hotel, but I see everyone beat me to it. If there were such thing as a 1-star establishment (is there?), this would be it. The front desk staff was reasonably nice and efficient. Check-in was quick and painless. Unfortunately, our hotel room was old, dirty, freezing cold and small. The... more

This hotel is shabby and run down. I had to request a change of room as room 716 was extremely noisy and it was out-dated. The 2nd room, 823 was no better, the air-con wasn't working and we requested a fan which was also on it's way out. The shower curtain was covered in mildew and was smelly, the towels... more

I was there end of August 2008, the only good thing is the location.People are unfriendly at the reception and only interested in doing the talking among themselves, the aircondition is centralized so during the night I was freezing and I had no opportunity to lower the temperature or switch it off:No pool available, no fitness center available, no breakfast... more

I booked this hotel in Singapore as I've search through a lot of other hotels. Seriously considering Singapore a tourist attraction, i don't really think that the hotel rate are cheap. They are very high priced and it is not worth for us to pay for even a night stay. My story will tell you why. I arrived from Malaysia... more

A party of three, in Singapore on business for a day, we were looking for well-priced adequate accommodation close to the Orchard Road shopping precinct. I had read the reviews and was looking for other places, but our preferred hotels were fully booked, so we ended up at the Grand Central. From the reviews I thought it a place to... more

I have been visiting Singapore on business since 1975 and stayed in Five Star deluxe Hotels in and around Orchard Road. Although some travellers have found bugs and ghosts, I found the standard good value for money. The service at check-in was civilised and friendly. The concierge staff, specially Ronnie was extremely polite and helpful. However, if one is prepared... more

Having booked through a travel agent, we arrived late at night. The room was very old, with black, dirt-engrained carpet and furnishings. The top bed covers were dark brown fabric with white stains all over them, and the yellowing bed-sheets were all covered in brown stains. Replacement bed-linen was of the same poor condition. We changed rooms, but it was... more

We booked our stay at Hotel Grand Central before we read the comments from this site. As soon as we read them, we wanted to cancel our booking. Good thing we didn't. It wasn't as bad as we expected it to be. Maybe because after we read the reviews we already expected the worst? Or maybe we were really just... more

I was desperate. Sing seems hard to get a hotel in even in off periods. This one was taken as my flight date approached and all my well researched options had no vacancies. For the money easily the worst value. However others here had worse than me here. My experience - roof was partially caved in over the bath in... more
