Newton Circus

Close to everything

TL;DR: A little dated given the age of the building, otherwise good. Fantastic gym and very well equiped; perhaps the best I’ve seen in a hotel. Think gym, but smaller (obviously) and there’s only one of each machine with body parts combined on one equipment to maximise space. Cardio wise, treadmills, Stages indoor trainer, indoor bike, rower, stepper, assault runner… you get the picture; is very nice! Located on a main road, so there’s an emergency siren here or there, otherwise it’s as quiet as it gets. King size bed; meh comfy. A/C is well needed, but performs OK. Old units, so a bit noisy relatively speaking. This was my 4th night in Singapore with the 1st 3 nights spent at the sister hotel in Tanjong Pagar. And while I had no issues sleeping the first three nights, the 4th nights sleep was just not happening. Overall it’s a decent hotel, and as a non-expert in hotel classes, would say the 4.5 stars? is about right. Wouldn’t not go back, but also would be looking at options before I commuted, especially considering the sister hotel being a hop and a skip down the road for a little extra change in your pocket. NB: Proximity to Marina Bay Sands and the river are a bonus. Can loop the Marina and run along the river and back in circa 10k. Take your phone with you for all the photos you’re going to want to take.

Location was convenient with many malls nearby. Room was spacious and I appreciate that the bathroom has a bidet. Mattress was to my liking; medium firmness. Do take note that bath robes are not provided. Overall, I had a pleasant stay. Will definitely stay here again.
