Detailed Reviews
They have rude staff with horrible accent working here. They seem to mouth off to guests quickly but not pay attention in cleaning the rooms, even in leisure. The price you pay for rooms are acceptable.

If it hasn't been said before, I'll say it here - the RELC is fantastic value for money due the large clean rooms with a great location - Orange Grove Road is a lovely residential road off the Orchard main drag - this road incidentally also houses the Shangri-La. If you're not up to the 8-10 minute walk, there is a shuttle bus from the RELC to take you down to Orchard Road and beyond.
My high-floor room also offered very attractive views from the balcony, which is also of very generous proportions.
Just a tip: If you're wondering whether to have a lie-in or go down to get the free breakfast, opt for the lie-in.

I stayed in relc for 3days 2 nights.. My room is the two queen bed In a big room.... But here is my review,
Pros:
1.room is spacious! Bed is comfy..carpeted floor...
2.toilet in the room is nice
3. Location is very near to orchard (20 minutes walk) or 5 mins walk to the bus stop or über (which u can easily get from the hotel) only cost sgd 8 (I paid extra this trip (sgd14) coz its Chinese new year....
4. The cafe guy is very nice, my family woke up late n came to the cafe late, he actually ask them to see the food first, if ok, then pay n come in coz he don't want to waste our money
Cons
1. Food for breakfast is plain taste..not nice at all
2.hotel is a school (regional language centre). I'm lucky it's a holiday time, no school,.. Imagine if there is classes...😓
3.reception staff not friendly at all
4. Call for housekeeping, reception and duty manager using the phone from the room is useless.. None of then will pick up their phone.. I'm surprised! Even the duty manager... Called on the day I checked in just to request for extra 2 towels...which is at 12pm and another time I tried is at around 7pm.. And the call is not 1 dial... I called sooo many times

We arrived from Dubai early in the morning, when we arrived at the hotel we were not expecting a room until 2pm but thankfully they offered us a room. My back had gone and I needed to lay down,The beds and room were exceptional clean and comfortable the front of house manager took the time to walk us out and show us were to get the bus to go to the mall for the chemist. The hotel itself has freash orange juice machines and also pot noodle machines(if you fancy a snack. The only thing I feel they may need to improve on is the breakfast, there just is not much choice. Overall amazing staff, amazing hotel.

Me and my guest arrived at the hotel to be greeted by a rude receptionist who gestured for us to wait as we were late for check in and she mentioned she had to "update her system on checking in times". For whatever reason the receptionist had went through the no smoking rule 3 times and had circled and highlighted in yellow the fine and rule. I did feel that this was very strange but did not think anything of it, got our card and proceeded to the room.
As soon as i opened the door i was disgusted. The carpet was damp, the toilet was moldy at the corners!!There strange stain marks up the walls and a perculiar smell.My guest was feeling unwell and wanted to rest and the room telephone was not working and in my stupidity I did not flag this matter then.
Upon checking out I tired to hand over the key cards to the receptionist and they immediately asked for my credit card instead. Unsuspecting anything I passed it over and wa told that I would be charged a late check out fee of $36 and a Smoking charge of $200. I was shocked and surprised. The receptionist informed me that there were sprinklers in the room that went off because we had been smoking. Which I thought was complete nonsense and demanded to see the room because if the sprinklers had gone off the room would be wet! Going up with the manager to the room he then explained to me that the it was not that the sprinklers that went off but that the room smelled of smoke and that there were ashes all around the room. I explained that neither my guest or I were smokers and that the perculiar smell had been there prior to us entering. And that if we were in fact smoking that the sprinklers would go off and that is what I was told happened to the room in the first place. He insisted that we were smoking and he was "just doing his job" and there was nothing he could do. He tried to coerce me not to write in to the managemnt beacuse of the "evidence" he had and the fact that the room did in fact smell like smoke.
This was the first I have experienced such a thing. This hotel probably does this all the time! Where they make unsuspecting patrons pay additional charges by making up bogus claims! It needs to be SHUT DOWN FOR GOOD!!!

If you visit singapore for having fun to see attraction, it is not the place you want to stay. This hotel is out of our expectation. The location wise is quite far from mrt and orchard road. It takes around 20 minute walking to get orchard road and the nearest mrt. The hotel itself actually is a language center and we were initially having difficulty to find because no sign and even word "hotel" stick on the building. Staff was not attentive at all as mention with other traveller. Check in was so long to take just to write the breakfast coupun one by one. And very strict to the time for check in. Room wise, we took quadraple room with double queen bed, is spacious. The room floor was not well build as we can feel uneven. The bed was comfortable, clean and tidy. Breakfast was very standard and shuld be improved. For the price given, the hotel is considered overrated. You can just simply find the other hotel located in the good area with the same price.

I have to say this is one of the worst hotel stays ive ever had.
The room was so basic it did not have any bedroom slippers. No iron no wifi even.
Its 2021 and they do not offer wifi for their rooms. Apparently only some rooms has wifi services available. No swimming pool here as well.
The room had this musky smell like the sheets were not dried properly and their towels and soap were all really dirty.
There were weird stains on the bed head board.
If u ask for more bottled water u have to pay. If you want extra towels those were subjected to costs as well.
The only pros of this place is that its spacious and relatively close to orchard road(town)

From checking in, to the room and checking out. There's nothing to fault. RELC never disappoint. Not my first time here. Would come back for another Daycation or even Staycation. Calm and Nice view. Comfortable bedding, Tv channels very clear and most channels that i want to watch is also available. Fox, HBO etc. Mini beverage corner is with clean cups, glasses. Fast boiling kettle. Comfortable shower area. Besides there's no bidet.
Check in staff Chloe was pleasant.
Mr Willy is as outstanding as ever. Comfortable to talk to and Professional Manager.

On 3rd June, I arrived to your hotel and did check in progress. The counter required me 100 dollars for depositing. Today, I asked the counter refund the deposit but they said they didn’t receive it after 1-2 hours checking CCTV. Bad experience. I put my belief in the reputation of your Hotel but now I lost it.

Good value hotel very friendly staff especially one of the staff service manager Mr Willie Chew was very attentive to serve us promptly. lt was a quite nice place to stay at the hotel and is convenient to travel to orchard road shopping centre. The room was large and spacious although not too fancy it was clean and comfortable. lt was happy with our stay and we highly recommended to come back again.

My room did not equipped with fidget spray.
Hello! My apologies for a super late reply. It really depends on the mode of transportation you'll take but basically it takes 15 mins from the hotel to Merlion by bus. You can also take the MRT. Marina Bay is much nearer. Hope this helps and not too late 🙂
We used the bus. 5 minutes walk, passes for use on both buses and MRT excellent value.
Please do not book this hotel for your honeymoon. I think it would be a bad mistake. This is a basic hotel with a feel a bit like a converted factory building. The only thing decent is that it has big rooms, but they are so basic that the size is not important. Also, it feels as if there is nothing to do there. Seriously it would be a bad mistake in my opinion.
