Duxton Reserve Singapore, Autograph Collection

The interior is very dark. While it may be the intent of the design style, it is unfortunately very inconvenient for elders. The lighting and overcast shadows make it hard to navigate the steps for them. There are several addition steps to some rooms. These should have been highlighted so that we can make better choices. The staff in the restaurant also seemed awkwardly trained. One would point at my sister when she arrived later fro breakfast, asking very abruptly which room she is from. Another time after I gave my room number, looked at my doubtfully then started speaking loud into the staff area asking about my room number. When we place additional orders for breakfast, it wil also be met with strange looks instead of politely acknowledging and taking our orders Housecleaning also appeared at 9am to my sister's room asking to clean. This would not have been the normal timings of hotel housekeeping especially when guests would be on holidays and sleeping in etc. Overall, this was a disappointing experienfe for a Bonvoy Marriott brand

Located within walking distance from Maxwell MRT. Accessible to many cafes and there is a 7-11 just located opposite of the hotel. Room is quite small so it will be quite difficult to move around if there are multiple luggages. Basic amenities are provided such as toothbrush & toothpaste, comb, shaving set & shower cap. However noted that there are no mineral water provided (Evian water is chargeable). There is kettle in the room so you can boil your own water or get it from 7-11 just across the street. Visible worn out look and dust is seen in the room. Also, noted some ants in the washroom. So cleanliness can be improved. Our room comes with access to their executive lounge but certain service such as afternoon nibbles are only available at Maxwell Reserve (walkable distance). Pool and gym are also only available at the other location. Breakfast and evening cocktail is available in the hotel itself. If you're looking for a boutique hotel with unique design, can consider to stay a night as it is located near to many food areas.
