    it lacks amenities like a kitchenette that should be conveniently located to the batch of rooms and have mini eats like sandwiches and espressos vending machine for late night eats

    it’s quaint chic and it’s centrally located

    There is mold in every room. The floor is sticky and the staff is not friendly or welcoming. We arrived and had mold in our bedroom. The receptionist showed us two other rooms, but both of them had mold in the bathrooms as well. I wouldn’t stay here again.

    I have been staying in Sultan on a few occasions, this time the room given to me was a little different the door swing open fast till it injured friend's hand. The room i got was ok but the toilet gets very wet due to the size and unable to put the floor mat when you open the bathroom door.

    I like the location and the staff in Sultan.

    Very easy to find halal foods as there are many muslim restaurants (arabic, indian and indonesian restaurants) around the hotel. For muslimin, the Sultan Mosque is within walking distance so you should be able to join the solat jamaah at the mosque.

    There was not one thing that we could dislike about the property.

    We loved the location, the ambience, walking distance to a variety of restaurants. Staff were exceptionally helpful, pleasant and accommodating in all areas of our stay. Although all staff were very helpful, we have to mention one member of staff in particular, Seri. A who went the extra mile to ensure our overnight stay was a great experience. We were upgraded on arrival which was amazing. Rooms were large and very comfortable- cannot express how much we enjoyed our stay!

    The standard room we were given. Would have to be the most dysfunctional hotel room I have ever stayed in. It is very tight. I'm ok with that but the bed was just crazy had to crawl across the top on all fours to get to it. If you are an older person this not a room for you. A couple of years ago I stayed at the same hotel. I took the luxury bungalow room it was nice. It did not cost to much more I really regret being a cheap skate this time.

    The staff were really good, helpful and friendly . Location is great. It was clean and rooms very well serviced.

    The only criticism was the layout of the bathroom - opening the door and moving around it was a bit awkward, but otherwise everything was great.

    The location was great - really handy for the subway (Lavender station) and bus routes. The staff were really friendly, especially the guys working the bar, who went over and above to make us feel welcome.

    Despite its fine facade, The Sultan is over-rated, over-priced and not a true 'heritage' property

    Absurdly small bathrooms, both in the ordinary rooms and in the top class Puteri room to which we upgraded. Singapore is expensive, but the Sultan does not justify its rates. Laws include no restaurant for breakfasts. Its best asset is its good location adjacent to good Malay/Arab cafes.

    The Sultan seems to be in the process of running down, it needs a proper makeover, and seems unlikely to be getting one. The bar, which looks so attractive in the photos, is now (late March 2024) about to close. We liked the nearby Malay/Arab precinct.

    Not the most amazing hotel experience, but generally OK in all respects (location, comfort, cleanliness, value). Quirky styling was fun - not a cookie cutter hotel.

    No breakfast option but that's okay because there are many food options nearby.

    The facilities including the outdoor area were cozy, welcoming, and relaxing. The room was very comfortable, clean and spacious. Liked the area, service and can take the big tour bus outside the hotel
