The toilet was separate to the shower and vanity. A pod coffee machine was available with 4 different pods that were replenished each day. Our room came with Club access and this was excellent. However, there was limited gluten free food available, The Club access gave us breakfast each morning with a dedicated chef. The staff were friendly and helpful, Thank you to Irene who serviced our room each day. Read less

I stayed for 2 weeks and I can say I had a great time! I can just say that the room was comfortable, comfy bed and the view from my room was just wow, I could see Orchard Rd. Pretty cool view! I didn't hear anything from the room next door, so that's a plus. Unfortunately, I can't give an opinion on the breakfast because I didn't try it. There… Read more
I stayed for 2 weeks and I can say I had a great time! I can just say that the room was comfortable, comfy bed and the view from my room was just wow, I could see Orchard Rd. Pretty cool view! I didn't hear anything from the room next door, so that's a plus. Unfortunately, I can't give an opinion on the breakfast because I didn't try it. There are so many places to eat just around the corner.  The location is the best. There is a shopping mall and MRT Somerset right below the hotel. It is very convenient if you want to move around Singapore. On the top floor there is a pool with an incredible view of the city and you can even see Marina Bay Sands. Go in the evening, it's another level. It was hilarious that sometimes I had the coffee delivered by a robot, I wasn't expecting that! They sometimes offer complimentary snacks in the room.  Highly recommended and could definitely come back! Read less

Our check-in process at JEN was terrible. We booked online for a family of 4 (2 adults 2 kids) and the site offered us a Deluxe King room - we assumed, as we were booking for 4, it was suitable for 4, maybe with a King and roll out bed. When we arrived the staff told us that the Deluxe King wouldn't fit 4, and didn't have enough floor space for a… Read more
Our check-in process at JEN was terrible. We booked online for a family of 4 (2 adults 2 kids) and the site offered us a Deluxe King room - we assumed, as we were booking for 4, it was suitable for 4, maybe with a King and roll out bed. When we arrived the staff told us that the Deluxe King wouldn't fit 4, and didn't have enough floor space for a roll out, and that they did not know we had 4 people, even though on our booking it says 4 people. They initially insisted we all sleep on one King bed as they had no other free rooms that night... after some pushing back, somehow they found a larger also Deluxe room which could fit a roll out bed. Firstly I'm annoyed that the website offered a room that doesn't fit 4 when we searched for 4; and also that they insisted they had no other rooms but upon pushing and pushing, they found us one. Really didn't make sense. So perhaps if you're travelling with a family and booked a room, give the hotel a call to make sure you all fit!! Aside from that hiccup the rest of the trip was fine. The hotel pool is very nice with a great view, and there are some cabanas, although they get taken from mid-morning and these people more or less never leave so you'll miss out if you don't have one. The location is amazing, right on top of Somerset station and an easy walk along Orchard road to food and shopping. Read less

The hotel is in a good location to access the MRT and local shops and eateries which is great. The rooms are clean but basic, there isn’t really a hotel bar where you can order drinks other than the pool bar which stops serving at 10.30 (early for holidays!). The main issue was the attitude of staff particularly the staff at the pool bar, basic queries for towels were met with abrupt and rude comments almost like the staff were finding it really challenging just to do their job and answer your query. Next issue was the service and menu, menu is very limited and the service which should end at 10.30pm is actually 10.25pm…I tried to order two drinks and was told the bar was shut, the pool staff member even tapped his watch!! Again very rude and not what you expect from a 4 star hotel. I would have stayed here again but not after the service…there are far too many hotels in Singapore which treat you better and value your business! Must do better Jen Orchard gate Singapore!!!
