21 Carpenter

Amazing boutique hotel. For those looking for an upscale modern boutique hotel, 21 carpenter is the place! The rooms are really homey and warm, and the hotel has different spaces 'social spaces' for those seeking locations to sit and enjoy a social setting or have a laptop and work! I really enjoyed the service as well and the food was delicious at Kee's.

Very enjoyable stay. Had a great time. Very convenient to transport and walking. Clean, well designed room. Didn't think the pool would be as nice as it was, but it was fun and a great way to cool off. It is a smaller property so there were times no one was at front desk, but never had to wait more than a few minutes. Staff was always friendly and helpful.

Many hotels in Singapore are a bit disappointing especially compared to other cities in Asia, so I tend to hop around and try different hotels. In contrast, 21 Carpenter did not disappoint. First off it's not directly part of a big hotel chain with boring rooms, it's part of Design Hotels which can also be booked via Marriott so it's not entirely separate from large loyalty programs either. I was proactively upgraded as Bonvoy Ambassador Elite to a nice suite with balcony upon check-in. I really liked the suite, good quality hardware and very comfortable. The advantage of Design Hotels is that they are usually interesting and not cookie-cutter, like this one. I can recommend this hotel and I would not hesitate to return.

Stayed over during F1 and Token2049. Hotel was nice, service staffs were friendly, but WORST HOUSEKEEPING experience ever. Waited quite a while for my room to be ready and when I got to my room, it was dirty and dusty. Not to a 5 star hotel standard. Requested to makeup my room when I’m away, sheets were changed but have stains on them. I understand this is not the hotels fault but this standard unacceptable. Please do something about your housekeeping.

This is a new 10 month old boutique hotel under the marriott group and as a bonvoy ambassador member, i just wanted to try it Located at Clarke Quay near chinatown, the location is central. There is no bellboy and the lobby is small, signs of things to come. During check in, there was no one at the front desk and luckily, he appeared a few minutes later. Also did not acknowledge my ambassador status and claimed to upgrade me though i booked the suite. Also got a lower floor, and the view is not great The suite is small and not well designed, so my impression of the “famed” WOHA architect dimmed. The tv in the living is the smallest i’ve seen in hotels built in the last 10 years. The suite is also not suitable for more than 1 person, with no space for 2 large luggages The bathroom is also laughingly tiny with 1 sink. They literally have a pigeonhole for 2 towels only, not more. The towel was also not clean and had a stain. They do have a sink cabinet for toiletries The bedroom is another joke with a smallish bed and only space for the wardrobe door to open Wrote a seperate review about breakfast and restaurant Back to our favourite hotels in Singapore it looks like

This design hotel at Marriott is exquisite and done with a high level of detail. Even for a more small boutique hotel, it has a swimming pool and a bar. The room is well designed with high quality amenities. We especially enjoyed the toiletries and the Bang & Olufsen speakers which added notes of luxury to the room.
