Stayed at the Concorde for four nights in February 2011. Situated at the end of Orchard Road this hotel does not look very appealing but don't let that fool you. The rear of the hotel especially looks grim but thats just a cosmetic hicup.
Inside the hotel it is very nice. Rooms are excellent and one of the most comfortable beds I have ever slept in. The facilities are good and pool (we were the only people around it) is clean with poolside service for drinks and snacks. The only thing that lets hotels like this down is the cost of breakfasts. With such a choice just outside the hotel you would think they'd make meals a little more competative. Everything is close by and within walking distance if you want to. If you don't want to, taxis are cheap. We would definately stay again.

Stayed for a period of 4 nights at this hotel.

Arrived at 12 pm but however was told to wait till 2pm(time stated on booking as well) in order to check-in as room was not ready. Tried once more at 1 pm and was told the room is yet to be ready. At 2+ pm, was told by the friendly staff(lady with specs) that we'd be given a free upgrade to the Premier floor (executive room I believe, which provided us with free Newsweek mag, and also a working desk). A great start to our stay!

Big plus : Location! At basement, there is a typical Singaporean foodcourt. At the side of the hotel, there is another similar one. About 3 mins walk away, there is Starbucks, 24 hrs Mac Donalds and a whole lot more food outlets. It is basically situated right at the start of Orchard Road (Right next to the Istana). Besides this, it is conveniently situated(5 to 10 mins walk, if you include time needed to wait for pedestrian lights to turn green.) between 2 MRT stations (i.e. Somerset and Dhoby Ghaut). As Dhoby Ghaut is one of the major interchanges in the MRT network, it certainly saved us so much time and hassle. Only 2 stops away from Chinatown. 4 stops from Vivocity(Shopping mall/entrance to Sentosa Island/Universal studios), 1 stop from Clarke Quay. 4 stops from Promenade(Suntec City shopping mall) .. we had access to all these places without having to switch between lines in between. Such convenience!

Other plus: Friendly staff. Nice amenities provided (body & hair shampoo, lotion, dental kit, and whole lot more), Really comfortable bed. Great rates considering its location on Orchard road!

Cons : Entrance to hotel. Need to walk through a quiet mall(just a couple of shops though) in order to gain access to hotel, through the lift. Noticed that there bar girls waiting outside their bars at night. Besides this, the air-con wasn't working really well. At times room was really warm even though temperature was set to its lowest.

Overall, a great place to stay. If location is your main concern, you should book this place without any further hesitation!
