“The Souless Scarlet”

The Scarlet Hotel

2 of 5 stars
Tokyo, Japan
Sep 25, 2008

No wi-fi. Moving from the check in to the actual room was inconvenient as the hotel is very narrow and long and you feel a little claustrophobic inside. The rooms look good in photos but in real life the hotel already feels old. The rooms have no windows and in the daytime it feels strange having no sunlight. The Tv has few channels. And there are remotes and light switches and books and guides and all sorts of things in the room to make your stay complicated. Just trying to figure out which switch turns our which light is a job that I would rather not have done after a flight from Tokyo. Also the bathrooms are built in a way so you have no privacy whatsoever if you are there with someone else. Also the shower amenities were horrible. And so were the beverages and the bottled water was some cheap Scarlet branded pet bottle which I would never drink. Who knows where that water came from. The Scarlet was just like every other other "boutique" hotel in Singapore, looks good from a distance but when you look up close there is no substance, no soul.

“Loved the Small Rooms”

The Scarlet Hotel

5 of 5 stars
Hertfordshire
Sep 11, 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

After reading a number of reviews on trip advisor we checked that our room had a window, which it did, a very big one. when walking in the room we realised what everyone meant we could litrally open the door and flop onto the bed. The bathroom was very small but was very luxurious. We did have a few problems with ants on our first day but after mentioning it to the staff by the time we came back from a spot of shopping they had cleaned the bathroom from top to bottom again (we had only arrived a few hours before) and put down ant killer which then when we went out for dinner they came and sorted again.
We ate one night in the restaurant the food was lovely and very special though nothing traditional, if you want it traditional food, go to one of many of the food markets the food is good and exciting.
The location is the best in the city for culture and variety no street full of shopping malls but beutiful streets and the buddidst temple at the end of the street is a perfect way to start the day.
The front desk were fantastic at helping out suggesting iteneries and sorting out taxi's, even when we came in burdoned with shopping in the pouring rain they were so helpful even taking the shopping up to the room for us!
Overall great Hotel, fantastic service though small rooms

“Modern Boutique Hotel in heart of CBD”

The Scarlet Hotel

Sep 2, 2008

We stayed at The Scarlet for 7 days. It is ideally located across the road from Chinatown, is in the heart of the Financial CBD and is within 5 min walking distance of two MRT stations (train).

The Scarlet is an impressive boutique hotel with very professional and friendly staff. There is no need to dine in for any meals because the famous Maxwell Hawker Centre is literally across the carpark from the hotel where one can sample all the local delights with the locals!

The room is very small at The Scarlet so do not overpack. This establishment is ideal for the single traveller or a couple, definitely NOT for the family.

Besides the fantastic location, amazing architecture and friendly staff, The Scarlett also offers FREE unlimited broadband internet in each room - so bring your laptop!

Accommodation rates in Singapore are exhorbitant and The Scarlet is one of the most affordable option when we booked.

“Boutique Hotel Always Have Small Rooms”

The Scarlet Hotel

2 of 5 stars
Singapore, Singapore
Jul 30, 2008

There is quite alot of positive online reviews about The Scarlet, however I was quite disappointed when I visited it during my birthday last year.

We booked the deluxe room but, there were no open windows and the room was small & in an odd shape. There was no bathtub in the small bathroom as well. However, to their credit, at least the room was clean.

Basically, there was just nothing for me to rave about, especially when it costs more then SGD$200.
