For a hundred quid a night I did not expect to be shouted at and treated like a second-class citizen.

My friend and I had 2 nights in singapore and decided to splash out and spend a bit of money.

Every member of staff was rude and unhelpful and we would have laughed, were we not paying a lot for this privelige.

I left photos of my wedding out in the room and the cleaner threw them away.

When I was very upset and asked reception for help the duty manager said 'It's not my problem' then when i asked to speak to the manager he refused to be put on the phone.

This hotel is run by cowboys.

GO ANYWHERE ELSE!!!!!!!!!!

It's hard to find budget accomodation in Singapore and Perak was reasonably priced compared to other hotels. Just inside Little India near a few backpackers places. Staff very accommodating and friendly.
Rooms were clean and were serviced daily with fresh linens, towels etc.

Our only gripe is that we didn't seem to get any hot water in the shower. This wasn't a major issue as it was always hot in singapore but just a bit of warmth in the shower would have been good.

We stayed at the Perak Hotel for three nights on the first stop of our round-the-world trip. It was a great start.

It's a renovated shophouse of 35 rooms in Little India - a location we chose for a not-so-Western experience of Singapore, that is still very accessible via the nearby Little India MRT station to the other precincts like Orchard Road, the river, etc. We had booked a standard room but had it upgraded for free to superior.

We loved the presentation of the hotel, from the polished floorboards to the blue painted shutters and the view from the stairwell landing windows of the brightly coloured buildings of Little India. (We could even hear an evening call to prayer from a nearby temple!) It is very clean. The airconditioning is very effective and makes the Perak Hotel a true oasis after a long day's sightseeing! Breakfast was included, served in the lovely breakfast room, and was mainly continental offerings but with some Singaporean elements, like kaya (Singapore's answer to marmalade, made of egg and coconut).

If you are used to a hot shower like me, you will find that the shower in the room is quite tepid even on the highest temperature setting, but I found this to be a positive in fact - it is very refreshing in the humidity and stops the bathroom from fogging up. The bed was comfortable, though on the firm side. The other caveat I would offer is that there is no lift, so if you have mobility problems, you may struggle with the stairs.

The only small gripes were that there was no soap provided in the bathroom at all (but this was easily overcome), and that the wireless internet in our room dropped out from time to time.

We would definitely stay at the Perak Hotel again.

It's a pretty little hotel and it's in a good location with good access to the metro on the airport line and the other sights of Singapore. But the negatives outweighed the positives:
- It was an absolutely tiny room. Two people might fit - but not with luggage!
- Noisy. Oh my goodness so noisy. Our upstairs neighbours were checking out 4.30 am so for over an hour from 3.30am it sounded like a herd of elephants trampling on our ceiling.
- Customer service was lousy. Very unfriendly staff who made us feel like we were interrupting them when we checked in. Also, I rang the desk at 4am asking if they could ask our upstairs neighbours to be a bit more quiet but their response was 'they're checking out soon'.
Fine if you've got nowhere better to stay but I'd say look elsewhere first.
