Allson Hotel

Singapore lived up to all my expectations of a modern, vibrant city. It is well known for it's cleanliness and security, the underground rail was spotless & a pleasure to use. The people are very polite & helpful & eating out was very reasonably priced. It is very easy to use public transport in Singapore to get around the island so no need to book expensive tours.
I visited at the end of Nov/early Dec in order to see the Christmas lights, which were spectacular & made the trip special. The shopping along Orchard Road is mind blowing, far too much to see & do in 6 days. A trip to The world famous Raffles Hotel is a must, afternoon tea was very special as was a Singapore Sling cocktail in the Long Bar with all it's history. A day trip to Sentosa Island was a good day out with the cable car ride making it exciting & a great way to get a view of the coastline. The Night Safari was very different, lots of animals to see at close quarters.
I flew with Singapore Airlines from Manchester on their 777 aircraft & have to say it was the most comfortable economy class seat I've experienced. The in-flight entertainment was brilliant, too much to watch or listen to during the 13 hour flight.
I would thoroughly recommend Singapore as a city holiday with a difference or as a welcome stopover to Australia/New Zealand or all points East.
