Beautiful authentic property, surrounded by lush gardens. Lovely to walk around in the morning. Great staff, great breakfast, near the office but far from public transportation.

Room was very rustic. High ceilings, which made the A/C not very potent for the summer heat wave. Also, it's an old building so you can hear a lot of noises from the neighbors. Spa hours were 10am-6pm which conflicted with my work hours. I would probably have enjoyed way more if it wasn't a business trip.

The staff was the thing that made it great . I like the scented rooms , nice second floor living room , quiet and no children , freshly squeezed juice , birds singing

Breakfast was really not up to standard , our baked beans and potato were spoilt when served, food in tamarind hill was so so, food was a bit cold , room cupboard given was too high for us to put anything , toilet could be a bit brighter , for both restaurant and rooms, a chore to walk up the hill for breakfast , wifi was weak ,

My husband & I booked this place to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary. We simply loved the old British colonial aesthetic. It was beautiful, quiet & peaceful! We were pleasantly surprised & immensely grateful for the upgrade of our room as well! The little pool inside the room was amazing! It helped wind us down after going out & walking around a lot. We haven't had a quiet & chill time to connect with one another in a long time. The staff were lovely as well! As we were leaving, we both wished we had booked one more night. But that just means that we're definitely coming back again for another occasion!

This isn't much of a dislike but more of a concern. The floorboards between the bathroom & the bed were creaking & "sinking" in. We're just concerned it may be a hazard for the next occupant.

Villa Samadhi is a superb little boutique hotel set in the greenery of a nature reserve yet only a few minutes walk from the MRT and bus services. The staff are simply amazing with Rose at the Tamarind restaurant being the superstar of our stay. The setting is beautiful and the hotel has a lovely old-fashioned colonial feel and atmosphere. The rooms are very nice with good sized bathrooms and the hotel is quiet at night with only the slight natural and soporific hum of the nearby jungle. The Tamarind restaurant serves excellent cocktails and has a 'Sunset Hour' every night with 2-for-1 drinks. The bar food and dinner menu are both excellent, but book early to avoid disappointment. The restaurant is very popular. A wooden walkway through the jungle takes guests from the rooms to the restaurant while the pool is in a shaded jungle area that provides a perfect little relaxation spot with both sun and shade. By Singapore standards, the hotel is good value for money.

In the interests of continual improvement, I offer the following observations. Please note these are minor and not criticisms. They are designed to help Villa Samadhi make stays even better! Firstly, the swimming pool is a little frayed around the edges with peeling paint in a few places. It is still lovely and cool on a hot day but should be spruced up a bit. Secondly, the western breakfast choices were a little bit bland when compared to the local cuisine. I think most palates would tolerate slightly more seasoning. My advice is go for the local breakfast options - they are superb!

Amazing room with an own jacuzzi. Would have stayed much longer but the price/night is really high. Friendly and helpful staff

it’s history.

Nothing

the hotel is gifted with an historic building & verdant surrounds

I was advised at 3 days notice the tamarind hill restaurant was unavailable for both lunch & dinner due to a short notice wedding. without the restaurant this is a 2 star facility with 5 star pretensions & price. it has all the warmth & charm of an antibellum boarding house. A refund should be offered & accepted whenever the restaurant is unavailable. dinner in the “library” is no substitute for the restaurant.

Its a great getaway from the hustle and bustle of city life. Anyone looking for a tranquil retreat should consider Villa Samadhi. The plunge pool was clean and enjoyable. Service staff were excellent - friendly, attentive to our needs, eloquent and engaging. Breakfast spread was great, however in-room dining service options can be improved. Special shout out to Jaya who hosted us during our trip.

Everything was great.
