Lian Shan Shuang Lin Monastery Tours and Activities

Fantastic stay over Christmas and New Year, the staff are really friendly and helpful, room was clean and comfortable, pool superb and breakfast excellent

This was a nice hotel but not quite five star. Well located for shopping. Staff were friendly. North American and European business guests should be aware there is no dedicated business center. So if you are staying with your partner you will need to leave the room to do business in those time zones. There is an outdoor table at the lobby to work from but no privacy. Wifi supports videoconference calls. Also no cream for coffee at breakfast but lattes are available (it was explained to me that cream with coffee is not a cultural tradition so fair enough). Brought these points up with manager who called and was empathic if not a little lost for words. After all, who would design a new hotel of this architectural calibre without a small space for a 24 hour business center? Room is nicely appointed. Water in showers fluctuates hot and cold and then maintains temperature. This happened on one day out of three, so you may have better luck. Beware of the first floor parkade access to Orchard Road. It is convenient, but the smell of rotten garbage once you exit to the Parkade is so overwhelming that we had to hold our breath as we walked to the road. You may want to stick to Claymore road next to the main entrance and simply walk down the sidewalk to avoid this.

An excellent hotel with superb staff. Standout employees were the two doormen, Saeed who showed us to our room, Robert (one of the managers) and Germaine the cocktail mixologist. Our rooms were excellent and we loved the pools and the gym. The breakfast buffet was plentiful and very good quality. The hotel ambiance is something else, it’s really lovely. The hotel is a refurbished Fort Canning Hotel and has only been open since October ‘25. The only improvements needed are around the breakfast service which is disorganised and very slow. Both mornings we had to wait half an hour for coffees, which is unacceptable anywhere, let alone a 5* hotel. Also when food and juices ran out they weren’t replenished. In all honesty that was a minor niggle in what was a delightful stay. We really enjoyed our time at The Mett, thank you!
