Nice hotel with awesome common areas and great staff. The rooms are a decent size for china and a cool eclectic mix of classic asian and modern but are a bit in disrepair especially the bathrooms could use some freashening and updating but overall a nice room. The food is excellent and the continental breakfast is world class. The lobby,... More

Our group of 20 stayed at the Hotel Equatorial for 6 nights at the end of April/early May. We were more than satisfied with the rooms, service and breakfasts. Staff were friendly and helpful and we would have no hesitation in staying there again. The hotel is just a few minutes walk from the Jing An Temple MRT. There are... More

Even though I got upgraded to a king club room, you could not say anything more than average. It was clean, tidy, no real problems, but just very average. Breakfast was average to poor and the lunch was similar. Toiletries in the bathroom were more akin to washing up liquid than anything else. The view was great despite the pollution.... More
