Stayed at Gallery Hotel, The - Singapore, Singapore.

The location of the hotel seems far from the centre but yet we did walk back from the centre in less than 15 mins. There is a bus stop opposite the hotel after crossing a bridge in 5 mins, the buses go directly to the town centre and Chinatown. Walking along the river next to the hotel took us to different glimpses of Singapore that we had never known before, I'd lived in S'pore for the past 10 years. It is close to Clark Quay, a great place for a family outing. It is also not far from the antique market street on the River Valley road. On the other side, it is the well-known night spot for the discotheque and bar in Mohammed Sultan road. There is more to explore in this part of Singapore, I'd love to come back again.

In hotel is in the heart of the city and you can go left or right for next shopping center. I saw CHINGAY Parade and this is the new generation parade for young people for Chinese New Year. Go to Chinatown on New Year and enjoy the great magnificent flair. Little India is good for walking and compare computerware in Sin Lim Square. Also PC-ware for compare is FUNAN IT-Mall.

This trip to Singapore was more for business and meeting up with some old friends. We got around easily by walking, taxi or the MRT ( subway train ). The food court in the Raffles shopping city, just opposite the hotel, is great with a good variety of food to choose from. The garden restaurant/bar in Chijmes, also opposite the hotel, is a relaxing place with live music for drinks & tapas and other Mediterranean food. For 5 mins's walk, one will find the bright light busy night market Bugis that sells local's souvenirs & fresh fruits. From here Bugis Junction, one can reach easily the nice cosy department store & cinema. The other side is Sim Lim's Square for the computer maniacs. Another corner is great for the Buddhist followers with books, vegetarian food and worshipping accessories. The hotel itself looks typical but its location & the convenience in getting around will spoil you with choices.

As a matter of fact, because it was most of the time business as usual - I spent most of the time in shopping malls. Suntec City has everything you need. Outstanding shops, restaurants and a movie theater. Don't waste your time in visiting all the shopping malls. Yakashimaya (Orchard Road) and Suntec (Suntec City) have all the brands in a nice atmosphere.

Highly recommend Maxwell Food Centre and Chinatown Food Centre for excellent authentic food at great value for money prices. Boat Quay recommended for a few drinks.

Check out Singapore Zoo - one of the best I've been to, far better than the likes of Taronga in Sydney! Aquarium a tad disappointing but Fort Siloso worth a visit if you too have kids in tow - our 20 month old loved all of the above - especially the zoo.

Use the taxi from the airport if you're a party of more than two people - it's cheaper than the MRT!

The hotel is not far from China town and Clark'es Quay is within easy walking distance. The bus services were efficient and quite cheap too and we were able to reach Orchard Road without much trouble.

The best hotel in Little India that I can recommend is the Komalavilas Restaurant. For as little as S$5.00 one can have a full meal and, believe me, it is really value for money.

Singapore is very clean and an easy place to take the children to. The Zoo is fantastic and a visit to the Birdpark is recommended if you have the time. Best restaurant is without doubt Indochine Waterfront, having delicious food and a great view.
