1. Geographic location and transportation convenience
Dorsett Singapore is located in the core area of the city center, close to Outram Park MRT station. You can take the hotel's exclusive elevator directly to the lobby after exiting the station. It can be called a "hotel on the subway" 3.
● Surrounding attractions: It takes 10 minutes to walk to Chinatown (Chinatown), and 2 subway stations to Clarke Quay, which is convenient for Sentosa, Orchard Road and other attractions 3 7.
● Transportation facilities: The hotel provides free mobile phones (Handy Phone), supports unlimited international calls, hotspot sharing and attraction ticket booking, which is very friendly to tourists 8.

2. Room facilities and comfort
The hotel focuses on cost-effectiveness and is suitable for tourists with a medium budget, but it should be noted that some room types have limited space.
● Room configuration:
1. The basic room type is about 20-25㎡, with modern decoration, equipped with a 40-inch TV, separate shower room and shower head, but some room wall tiles have mold spots 6 7.
2. The view of the rooms on high floors is better. It is recommended to request in advance to avoid the humid areas on the lower floors 6.
● Hygiene and bedding: The cleanliness of the bedding varies. Some guests reported that the sheets are rough and cause skin itching. It is recommended to bring your own personal items 6.

III. Hotel service and dining experience
● Service attitude: The front desk provides Chinese service and has a high response efficiency, but some employees are indifferent when handling room change requests 6 7.
● Breakfast and restaurant:

V. Shortcomings and suggestions
1. Sound insulation: Street-facing rooms are affected by subway and construction noise, so light sleepers need to prepare earplugs 2 .
2. Facility maintenance: Some guest rooms have damp and musty odors, so it is recommended to choose recently renovated rooms 6 7 .
3. Service details: The guest rooms are not cleaned in time, and the front desk needs to be reminded; the replenishment of basic supplies such as kettles is slow 7 .
