Orchard Tower Tours and Activities

Nice staffs and clean

Convenient and easy to locate with the tall raffles city building Staff were friendly enough but nothing really stood out Reception said they upgraded my room with my son but the room didn’t have a usb charger - that’s not really an upgrade is it ? My daughter’s room was on another level and had the necessary chargers but the corridor was extremely smelly . There was a big blow fan on which was very noisy and disturbing So my room with my son on level 14 ( which she said was an upgrade )didn’t have chargers My daughters room with her friend on level 22 had the smelliest damp corridor and a noisy blow fan Was my room really upgraded ? I doubted it and I wish they would tell the truth

The room size and equipment were great, but it's ridiculous that there isn't a SINGLE hook anywhere to hang your towel, shirt, or pants. I had to pick up cheap suction hooks from Daiso, so I had places to hang items that were frequently used. Sure the wardrobe has a bunch of hangers but you don't want to stuff your used day-pants in there. Makes no sense. The room cleaning only happens on Wednesdays, so you'll also need a hook to hold your garbage in a separate plastic bag. The garbage bin in the room is just too small for a week's worth of trash. Walls are thin, you'll hear your neighbors or room mates talk on their phone, and all the activity in the shared living space - this was esp apparent when my neighbor was cooking, doing laundry, inviting her friends over, etc. The 100 year old, very slow lift is cool the first time... but a real pain in the ass to use. You have to pull open two very heavy metal gates, and pull to close them (and ensure they're very closed) before you can hit the button to go up or down. Usually by midnight the lift will stop working... because the bargoers that use the lift forget to close the gates after they've gone to the top floor. And when new guests come in or out, everyone is very confused who should be helping to open or close the inner/outer gates. It's a nightmare when you're a regular guest and all you want to do is just enter or exit the hotel on the 3rd floor. Often, just waiting for the lift takes forever - if it comes at all.
