Rendezvous Singapore hotel review
This hotel is a very dated hotel , from old interior furnishing to low capacity electrical systems to dark decorations, dim wall colors, peeling wall papers, mold spots on the walls, and more. I got a bad respiratory congestion after stayed here for 4 night. And some of my other colleagues even developed a rash on their skin. Which resulted in many of us checked in to other nearby hotels and didn’t stay here the entire time, even though the rooms were already prepaid for.
The entire room lighting is very dim, hard to get much work done IF you are here on business trip. The lighting control is very inconvenient . Old lighting control. They don’t have convenient power plugs that you can use by the bed side, like USB . Rather they have a mix of Asia and Europe power outlets, all requiring converters and not all in working condition.
For light switches, they have an old master switch board by the bed, but…you still have to get off your bed to turn the bathroom lights on and off . Which means , If you need to turn on all the light in the middle of night for bathroom, and you’re not able to just roll over and turn on that.
The hot water here is very hot . You do not need to turn the faucet to the middle point to get a water to be very hot. It is good in a way., however, if you travel with children, I will be very cautious when the children are using the sink to wash hands.
Breakfast was so-so, nothing special, just the basic continental breakfast, mixed with 1 small bowl of curry and a pot of baked tomatoes. And be aware of the coffee machine if you need a cappuccino or latte with the milk comes out a splatter big time so stand back.
Gym is ok, pool is small.
Location of this hotel is the main valuable point. This hotel is centrally located with food halls nearby, restaurants, parks, museum, malls, and riverside attractions all within walking distance.
However, I rather stay somewhere a bit farther than sacrificing my health, so…do not recommend.
