The biggest regret of my Singapore trip was choosing Citadines. The location might be decent, but the service, hygiene, and attitude were a complete disaster.
🧹 **Room hygiene was concerning, details were unbearable.**
On the night of check-in, I found a slipper left in the room, presumably by the previous guest. The tissue box in the bathroom was also empty after pulling out just two tissues. This reflects a lack of thorough cleaning and inattentive stocking of amenities. It made us wonder if the room was truly cleaned properly after the last guest checked out?
📞 **Poor service attitude, low professionalism.**
The male staff member at the front desk had a terrible attitude. When I reported the hygiene issues, there was no apology whatsoever; he merely stated that someone would be contacted to remove the slipper from the room. As it was already past 11 PM, after our strong demand for a room change, they agreed to move us to another room. When we called to ask when we could move to the new room after packing our belongings in the original room, the call was directly hung up (they later explained it was a 'net drop'?). Although we were eventually upgraded to a corner room, the sliding door to the bathroom was also broken. 😬
🏠 **Small room, average decor.**
The room was small and stuffy. While I understand that space is a premium in Singapore, I saw on Xiaohongshu and Tripadvisor that this hotel was renovated in 2022 and had new facilities. I strongly disagree; for this trip, I spent 1165 on a deluxe king room. Now, I would rather spend a few hundred more to choose Pullman, Voco, or Standard.
💔 **Summary: It really soured the mood of my trip, I will never come back.**
The location is Citadines' only advantage (within walking distance of Fort Canning Park, Killiney Kopitiam, and Pop Mart), but that is far from enough to compensate for the shortcomings in service, hygiene, and facilities. This was the worst accommodation experience of my Singapore trip; I strongly advise avoiding it.
