We stayed in 3 hotels in Singapore for a week each, long enough to get to know them well. The other two were 5 star properties but this Citadines definitely had the best staff at reception. They were so friendly and so helpful, answering questions, printing out documents for us, even scanning a couple of things we urgently needed. If anything needed repair in the room they had it fixed immediately. Five stars for service.

The room itself was a little disappointing. As a studio it was a bit bigger than average but unlike the Citadines we have visited in France, the kitchen was virtually unusable. Also it was odd to serve a (not very interesting) breakfast on weekdays but not on weekends but still pay the same rate on weekends - a fairly high rate as well. The gym is tiny and there is no pool, which you really will want in Singapore.

Nice to have free internet though, and a laundrette on site.

There are lots of cheap but not very good restaurants nearby. For better meals, walk 10 minutes to the Plaza Singapura mall which has nicer restaurants which are not expensive. The Citadines neighbourhood doesn't have much to commend it, to be honest.

I stayed in an apartment for about 3 months, on business in Singapore. The apartments are quite nice and functional and about what you would expect of this standard of serviced apartment.

The real highlight of my stay were the staff on reception. Extremely friendly, warm and welcoming. They always greeted me by name when I came and went and, after periods of travelling out of Singapore, they always inquired about where I had been. Actually I was sad to leave them when I checked out.

A slight negative is that during my stay there was a noisy construction site just over the road that was operating six days a week (including on Saturdays from 8am!). I kind of got used to the noise but it was really annoying for the first little while.

The breakfast on offer is basic (toast, baked beans, muesli etc) but was OK. Sometimes the hot food wasn't heated properly but this wasn't a big issue.

I stayed there for a month in Agust 2010, the apartment I had was modern with a really nice bathroom, seperate bedroom with a comfy bed, good sized living room with a table and chairs and Satellitte TV also.

The staff were all really friendly, the room was cleaned three times a week by the made adn the aprtments where in a good location literally two mins walk from Orchard Road and just downstairs there was a Starbucks and Cafeteria area.

I would definitely recomend it but would not be able to comment to much on the price as my work picked up the bill and I only know approximatley what they paid for it.

All in all a very pleasurable experience there and I miss the place already !

As we were going to stay for almost 2 months in Singapore, I decided to stay the first 2 weeks at a hotel as we looked for an apartment. We stayed at 2 great hotels before Citadines. At first i was a bit afraid because some internet reviews were really bad, specially ones about breakfast at Starbucks, and internet charges, but once there everything was ok. The staff were very friendly and always ready to help, no extra charges for internet service, and everything on had due its location. Great value for money! Would definitely recommend these property.
