Orchard Hotel Premier Room 1231

Orchard Hotel has two wings, Orchard wing and claymore wing. The Premier rooms are in the claymore wing. Was assigned this room but eventually did not stay in this room as the room is too near the lifts and was very noisy. Could hear the sound of the lifts once every few mins. Do take note that rooms ending 30 or 31 are closest to the lifts so do try to avoid them. Was eventually reassigned to room 748 after I requested for a change in room. even number rooms faced the pool. Room itself was relatively big at 35 sq metres. King sized bed was very comfortable. No pillow menu though and pillows were a little too soft. 4 pillows provided . Tv was a 40 inch Samsung tv and table was just in front of the tv and there are ports including av and hdmi ports there. Next to the bed was a single seater sofa and a small round table. One other thing to note is that there are no additional plugs bedside so if you intend to charge your devices by the bedside, will have to remove the bedside lamp socket to charge your devices. Room comes with 4 sachets of Raffles Lighthouse teabags (British Breakfast, Moroccan Peppermint, Uji Sencha and Yunnan Pu Er), as well as instant Nescafe coffee sachets. 2 bottles of water provided too. Nothing in the mini fridge. Another thing to take note is that sound insulation is not the best. Could hear the toddler crying in a nearby room early in the morning. Toilet was compact. Separate shower and bathtub which was very appreciated. Bathtub was on the Low side but big enough. Water pressure was good and water heated up fast enough. All in all a decent stay in 4 star hotel in Orchard Road. Worth it for the price paid. #staycation
