Lazarus Island Kid friendly Holidays

The room size and equipment were great, but it's ridiculous that there isn't a SINGLE hook anywhere to hang your towel, shirt, or pants. I had to pick up cheap suction hooks from Daiso, so I had places to hang items that were frequently used. Sure the wardrobe has a bunch of hangers but you don't want to stuff your used day-pants in there. Makes no sense. The room cleaning only happens on Wednesdays, so you'll also need a hook to hold your garbage in a separate plastic bag. The garbage bin in the room is just too small for a week's worth of trash. Walls are thin, you'll hear your neighbors or room mates talk on their phone, and all the activity in the shared living space - this was esp apparent when my neighbor was cooking, doing laundry, inviting her friends over, etc. The 100 year old, very slow lift is cool the first time... but a real pain in the ass to use. You have to pull open two very heavy metal gates, and pull to close them (and ensure they're very closed) before you can hit the button to go up or down. Usually by midnight the lift will stop working... because the bargoers that use the lift forget to close the gates after they've gone to the top floor. And when new guests come in or out, everyone is very confused who should be helping to open or close the inner/outer gates. It's a nightmare when you're a regular guest and all you want to do is just enter or exit the hotel on the 3rd floor. Often, just waiting for the lift takes forever - if it comes at all.

Room spotless, convenient location, check in very quick

We were not given a free breakfast

More international menu should be there

Immediately upon exiting my taxi, we were greeted by attentive and friendly hotel staff who proceeded to handle and store our luggage. Check in was just as smooth and efficient. Our room was likely the cleanest we have ever seen. Everything was absolutely spotless and immaculately staged. Our request for an extra luggage rack was handled in under 5 minutes. Room was appointed with a nice sized fridge (with freezer section), high end microwave, wash basin, coffee maker, hair dryer and various other toiletries. The bathroom was also very nice, spotless and well appointed but not overly functional with an awkward to use shower enclosure that opens outward, limited counter space and few options to hang clothing or wet towels. The room was also equipped with sophisticated lighting and an a/c system that actually worked well at the touch of a button - not remote control but maybe one day I that might be included too :). The hotel has a single small restaurant area that served a nice asian/western style breakfast buffet that was far superior to most other hotels I have stayed in and a private executive lounge stocked with beverages and snacks. Restaurant staff were very attentive, efficient and pleasant to deal with at all times. Given that hotel is tucked away from main street, overall noise/traffic level was extremely minimal and while sleeping room was totally silent. Location of hotel is a very short walk to 2 MRT stations, Chinatown and plenty of shops and restaurants.

Close to MRT. Good hotel value for downtown Singapore.

The location was just fantastic with a direct view of MBS and a short walk to all the offerings - from Art and Science to the Design Museum and of course, the mall. Breakfast buffet was lovely with so many diverse choices.It was a pleasure having coffee and juice served as opposed to other breakfast buffets where you never have enough hands. All the staff was friendly and gracious. We also enjoyed being in a somewhat smaller hotel. We would highly recommend.
