Stayed here due to no room in the other hotel. Front desk staff not really friendly, the bellmen even friendy than them. Small room and the bed location make me feel uncomfortable. Towel was not ready up check in and have to request for it on the next day. The food terrible and very limited selection.

I have been a regular guest since it was Dorsett. All the while I have nothing much to complain to warrant an official review. I was at the hotel from Sunday 19/5/13 until 21/5/13. On Monday 20/5/13 I ordered a room service (Silka Signature Beef Burger) and it arrived at about 7pm and it was nice until 2am when I... More

Rooms are a bit small for couples, bathrooms are definitely for singles only. Breakfast is generally NOT included in price. Kapitan Corner restaurant ajoint is no good and overpriced for what they serve. Maybe a suitable place for light travellers and backpackers !

I booked 3 nights in a deluxe room at the Silka for my son (11) and I. We were visiting JB to go to Legoland and Universal Studios. We trusted the Silka website which promotes both and advises it's only 20 mins from the city/Singapore border and 35 mins from Legoland. On arrival, I was surprised to find how isolated... More

It was my first stay at the place after it became Silka. I stayed here twice back in 2009 when it was still the Dorsett; the first time for two nights, the second time was for two weeks.
