Part
of a chain of upscale hotels, PARKROYAL on Kitchener Road
is a large and bustling 534-room property located in the middle of
the vibrant Little India neighborhood and next door to the Mustafa
Center, a 24-hour shopping mall. Rooms are spacious, but nondescript, much like the public spaces that lack character and have a somewhat dated look. There's a host of amenities on offer, like
an outdoor pool and children's pool, three restaurants and a
bar, a 24-hour fitness center, steam bath, massage room, and a business center. For something with more of a
boutique feel and a slightly lower
price tag, travelers might want to consider Wanderlust, also located in
Little India.

Scene
Large, bustling chain hotel popular with families
PARKROYAL
on Kitchener Road occupies a large multistory building
located in the middle of the vibrant Little India neighborhood. The
lobby is spacious and bright, with beige marble-effect floors and
brown paneling on the walls, but it lacks the sense of arrival
expected of an upscale hotel. There are a few plants and
contemporary-style sofas scattered here and there, but the space
looks more like the vast lobby of an office building rather than a
fancy hotel. With over 500 guest rooms, the property is always bustling
with people and the reception area and breakfast room can get busy at peak times. The majority of guests staying here are families
traveling together on vacation, as well as couples and business
travelers. This hotel is especially popular with Indian tourists, because of its location in
Little India and its proximity to many Indian restaurants and
eateries.
Location
Located in the middle of lively Little India
PARKROYAL
on Kitchener Road is on a busy street in the middle of Little
India, with many stores, shopping malls, and restaurants within
walking distance. Mustafa Center, a 24-hour shopping mall, is located
next door. Farrer Park MRT station is a four-minute walk from the
hotel, from where the efficient subway service reaches most areas of
the city.- Two-minutewalk to City Square Mall
Rooms
Spacious and clean rooms with generic decor
Guest rooms at the hotel are spacious and clean, but have a chainlike feel to them due to bland
decor. The neutral color palette is made up of whites, beiges, and
browns, while a few works of abstract art in similar color
tones add an interesting focal point. The furniture is minimal and functional, including a large work desk and ergonomic chair. Beige bathrooms are spacious and have a
similar functional style, outfitted with shower/tub combos. All rooms have the usual set of amenities, including flat-screen TVs, tea- and coffee-making facilities, safes, irons and ironing boards, toiletries, minibars, air-conditioning, and free Wi-Fi. The Orchid Club Rooms and
Suites offer more space and are located on the 19th-floor and have scenic city
views. Guests staying
in these rooms can take advantage of the free breakfast and
evening cocktails available in the exclusive Club Lounge.
