I stayed in Goodwood Hotel 8th-10th April 2008. The hotel itself is spectacular, with a fairly colonial looking exterior facade, but has undergone dramatic renovation interiorly. Its modern restaurant and bar flank the older part.

The staff were very helpful and pleasant.
The room was beautiful and well maintained. Great air con too!
Cannot comment on food, as we ate out during our stay.
Excellent location.
Well worth a stay.

I loved the position of this hotel, I was able to spend more time shopping! So close to Lucky Plaza , a place one must visit,
The staff are outstanding. Ive been several times and on my way back in April.

Booked with some trepidation after reading some negative reviews of this hotel. However I am now convinced that some reviewers of hotels will never be pleased by anything and are deliberately negative and nit picking.

This is a gorgeous colonial style hotel in a top location by Orchard Road. Its Raffles esqe but at a lower price. We booked through Wotif.com so got over 1/2 price for the room which turned out to be a beautiful 2 bathroom suite.

2 beautiful pools and a fab buffet breakfast make this a highly recommended stopover base in Singapore.

We stayed with our 3 year old son, he had a spare bed and is still talking about the hotel on our return.

It was my second stay at this property.
The location is good and even ideal for those willing to go shopping.
The rooms are good, a bit spartan for a 5 star property, but really appropriate.
The pool is OK, a bit dated, like other parts of the hotel, but still very nice.

Internet access is good but expensive. $30 SGD per day is becoming excessive. If they don't charge to use the televsion why internet. If there is a charge made to the hotel, it should be absorbed in the room charge, or else passed on at cost.

This of course applies to most hotels. Ultimately, there is no extra cost for a hotel to charge for wi fi use on an unsecured network because there is no extra cost for the hotel in providing the service. As an experienced traveller, this is getting out of hand, and a hidden cost not disclosed to the traveller.

But the Goodwork Park is a good property, in an excellent location. If you are in Singapore on business, you should stay in another area though, such as Clarke Quay on the river. For shopping though, or a short stopover, Goodwork Park is highly recommended.
