Verdict on The GoodWood Park Hotel in Singapore
Overall, our experience at The Good Park Hotel in Singapore was enjoyable. What counted highly for us was the centralized location. You could easily just walk out of the hotel, and get onto Orchard road in no time.
And if you are not familiar of Singapore, Orchard Road is the mecca for shopping, food and entertainment. And with the convenience of the MRT, you can travel anywhere - we ventured to Marina Bay, Tiong Bahru Plaza, China Town, City Hall, Vivo City and Bugis Junction. So don't bother wasting money and time catching on the taxi!
The minuses - The Hotel restaurants are average, and I would recommend venturing out as you will get a better value for money, and better dining experience. A few minor room issues:
- I prefer separate showers - you have to shower in a bath tub in this hotel
- TV is not at all impressive for a five-star hotel. But I was rarely in the room to watch it.
- Basic toiletry items such as toothpaste, tooth brush, comb, flat iron are not automatically placed in the room. You will have to request for them
- Wardrobes needs a bit of updating
Let's face it, not every hotel is perfect, and for whatever reason there is, not everyone will enjoy the historic feel of the hotel and the rooms. But we enjoyed our stay - the room was comfortable, stylish, clean and well maintained ... it's comfortable enough to host a little gathering for friends and relatives from Singapore.
The Goodwood Park Hotel Singapore is in a fantastic location, and it is only one of a very small number of colonial architectural treasures Singapore has left.
Actual Guest FeedBacks on The GoodWood Park Hotel Singapore...
"This is a hotel in the Scott Rd - Orchard Road area. It has the style and the feel of a boutique hotel, but bigger. I have stayed at a number of hotels in Singapore over a number of years, but for my last 5 visits to Singapore this has been my preference. " - Portion of actual user review on tripadvisor
"Room facing Scotts road, view shilded by frosted panes almost no traffic noise. Room clean with sufficient space and wardrobe capacity. Staff in reception friendly and service-minded. Hotel is about 500 m. from Orchard road." - Portion of actual user review on tripadvisor
"This is a large hotel which is well equipped and clean, but is really aimed at commercial customers rather than tourists. Apart from a well shaded pool with only 4 sun loungers, there is no area set aside for hotel residents. Even the chairs by tables in the foyer were set aside for the sale of food to anyone who came into the hotel.
Needless to say the cost of eating in the hotel was sky high and it is fortunate that Orchard Street is close by with its many food halls. So beware the implications of their publicity that this is a colonial style hotel. It is not, it is typical of a modern hotel in a very modern city.." - Portion of actual user review on tripadvisor
"An interesting historic hotel close to Orchard MRT and big shops. The staff were pleasant and helpful and the rooms comfortable. This is not a cheap hotel but not bad by Singapore prices. There are two lovely pools to cool off after a busy day shopping and some nice places to eat." - Portion of actual user review on agoda.com
"Excellent location and above the Macao/China ferry terminal.
Rooms are getting old and the elevators are inadequate on peak hours." - Portion of actual user review on agoda.com
"Great choice if you want to just relax or do some shopping." - Portion of actual user review on agoda.com
"This is our 8th stay at the Goodwood Park and we wouldn't consider staying any place else. Afternoon tea is a special treat, not to be missed. At the lobby deli it's possible to order a light lunch and have it delivered to the lobby bar to enjoy with a favorite drink.
There's also a tailor shop on the way to the Coffee Lounge for breakfast - we've had men's and women's clothes made and been delighted with the results each time. Locals like the hotel, too - there are always wedding receptions, engagement parties, a "Naming Certemony" this last time being held, so the people watching is great! One of us is ready to stay home for awhile but the other one is ready to go back anytime!" - Portion of actual user review on agoda
