“Beware of the ceiling!”

The Scarlet Hotel

Apr 30, 2008
1/3 found this review helpful

Our room in the hotel was without a window as well. We had no idea that we had previously ask for a window. But when we arrived there and we saw the room we immediately asked for it but we did not get it. Anyway, the lack of window was not the worst, since we have been given a room with a strange ceiling, which was made of glass(???) probably and when at night the rain began to fall we woke up in a horror as we thought that we were under attack because of the terrible noise the rain made on the ceiling. the second night we got used to it. The buffet breakfast is very good as well as the room for freshin-up when you have checked out hours before and you have returned to collect the baggage. That room was a great and a very useful surprise!!

P.S. I have not understood the criteria for some hotels to be named "boutique"hotels

“We loved The Scarlet Hotel”

The Scarlet Hotel

Apr 28, 2008
1/2 found this review helpful

We chose this boutique hotel rather than a worlwide chain and we were not disappointed. it was luxuriously furnished entirely in black,red and gold including the staff.
There was a very romantic feel to the room with superb bathroom/wetroom. The dining room was furnished in the same vein and the buffet breakfast was very good.
Location was very near chinatown and about 15 mins walk to the harbour or 5 mins by bus.
I would certainly stay there again.

“A nice little boutique hotel”

The Scarlet Hotel

Apr 22, 2008

Hotel Scarlet is full of character. A small, boutique hotel, it has friendly staff who catered for all our needs.

Upon check in, we were assigned a room without a window - beware of these if you like some fresh air! We returned to reception and we were immediately swapped into another room. While the rooms are on the small side (I prefer to call them cosy), there is plenty of room for a short stay. The rooms are very well fitted out and come with free internet.

The bathroom only has a shower and was starting to show a little wear - a bit of a refurbishment maybe necessary in the not too distant future.

The hotel is in a fantastic location and there are some very cool, local restaurants and bars within easy reach. The hotel also has a nice roof top bar for a singapore sling at sunset.

Breakfast was included and most food options were available.

“Scarlet”

The Scarlet Hotel

Apr 16, 2008

Mine was a mall room but clean and luxuriously appointed, however a little disconcerting to not have a window, though not all rooms are like this. Good buffet breakfast included and beautifully presented. Friendly and helpful staff. Ideal for Chinatown.

“Good boutique hotel, nice change form the chains”

The Scarlet Hotel

4 of 5 stars
Bridgend, Wales
Apr 14, 2008

Good location on the edge of China town, so plenty to see and do within walking distance. Sayed 2 nights on a stopover to NZ.The building used to be a row of shops, which explains the rather small (but adequate) rooms and strange multi level corridoors, but finished to a very high standard. Many rooms don't have windows, so upgrade & request a window if you need natural light during your stay. All the staff we dealt with were very helpful and friendly. No pool to relax in, but they do have a nice outdoor hot tub.
