Stayed for one night as part of Singapore Ailines package. Centrally located and very friendly staff ready to assist. Facilities were as expected but the bed a little too firm for our liking. Shops, tours and transport readily available and inexpensive. We would stay here again. more

This is the third time over the past 10 years we have stayed here, and although not particularly fancy, I think it is pretty reasonable for the money compared to most hotels, hence the above average rating because of value for money. That aside it is probably a middle of the road property. Pretty good location, and have never had... more

I stayed at The Allson for 3 nights last week on a trip to the Far East. My first encounter was with the lady on the front desk. It was 9.30 p.m when we arrived at the hotel and I just wanted to go to my room as I had two small children in tow. When I first booked the... more

I stayed twice at the Allson, with a trip to Malaysia in between, and would happily stay there again. As some others have said, the place is a bit tired but I found it spotlessly clean and all of the staff I dealt with were courteous and helpful. All staff – desk, concierge, housekeepers - always greeted us with a... more

Clogged wash basin, grimy bathroom - all forgiveable. i've stayed in a bunch of hotels around the world and easily, this place has the worst ever front desk staff. house-keeping staff were polite. the staff here have never been trained on manners apparently. please go to class, people. Will never stay again or recommend and actually cut our stay short... more

My husband and I stayed at the Allson as part of Singapore Airline's Singapore Stopover package when we travelled on our honeymoon in February/March 2008. We stayed twice, as we had a stopover in both directions. First visit was for 2 nights, the second was for 3 nights, so 5 nights all up. We were very happy with our choice... more

We stayed here on a SIngapore Airlines stopover package - a very very cheap way to see the city. The hotel was fine - the rooms smelt a little bit musty, but were comfortable enough. The concierge staff were excellent - they had great directions for us and even booked us a very reasonable mini van out to the night... more

The Allson lived up to our expectations from previous review. Staff were great, room was spacious, clean and quiet on 16th floor. If you don't have breakfast incl. in your rate (we didn't) don't bother with the buffet, there are better and cheaper options close by (Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf). Best of all, we had a 1:30am flight and... more

We are a family of 5 and stayed for 3 nights. Hotel is well located, not too far from an MRT station and within walking distance of Bugis St Markets and Sim Lim Square. Rooms clean and nicely appointed, but no view to speak of. Hotel staff were generally helpful. Concierge was able to arrange reasonably priced transport for us... more
