The Standard, Singapore
Great place to stay just near Orchard Road. Very nice facilities. Check in was a bit slow however , but not a major issue. I thought the cafe and restaurant prices are a little on the high side

Room was clean, good value for this location, across from Raffles Hotel which has become egregiously expensive.
